Prescription drug disposal<br />

The National Association of Drug<br />

Diversion Investigators (NADDI) launched<br />

a program to significantly reduce easy<br />

access to outdated or no longer needed prescriptions.<br />

These drugs are the target of theft by<br />

people who have access to the medicine<br />

cabinets of family and friends. America’s<br />

12- to 17-year-olds have made prescription<br />

drugs their number one substance of<br />

abuse, and much of the supply is coming<br />

from the medicine cabinets of their parents,<br />

grandparents and friends.<br />

The following <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> pharmacies<br />

accept anonymous disposal of medicines.<br />

My grandparents are coming over for<br />

Thanksgiving. Should we do anything different?<br />

The simple answer is YES! Here are some tips for<br />

hosting a senior over the Holidays:<br />

• Enjoying the feast - Our taste buds and diets<br />

change as we age so it’s a good idea to take that<br />

into consideration when planning your menu. Did<br />

you know that we lose taste buds as we age, but<br />

chewing can be more difficult? Try to find a dish<br />

that has a little more flavoring but is easy to chew.<br />

Sweet potatoes are a great choice. But remember,<br />

be careful with the salt.<br />

• Household safety - When you’re having<br />

seniors over, make sure your throw rugs are<br />

and over-the-counter drugs including capsules,<br />

pills, powders, herbs and vitamins in<br />

PAID ADVERTISING<br />

Senior safety and the holidays<br />

secure or picked up. They look nice but are a fall<br />

hazard for many seniors. Also, be sure outside<br />

walkways, driveways, and stairways are well lit.<br />

Be sure to watch for cords, tight spaces, and other<br />

things that may be hard for a senior to navigate.<br />

With a crowded house and too many crockpots<br />

with extension cords, there is a tripping hazard for<br />

any age.<br />

Time spent with family is a great way to learn<br />

more about how our senior relatives are getting<br />

along while enjoying quality time with them.<br />

Danbury Senior Living communities offer senior<br />

friendly, delicious cuisine as well as a safe environment.<br />
