Neither Snow Nor Rain...

No matter what the weather conditions are, VNA caregivers find a way to get you the care you need. They spend a lot of time in their vehicles, sometimes even skiing, snowshoeing and boating to get to client's homes. Our caregivers take extra precautions to stay safe on the roads, especially during weather like the recent ice storm and the dangerously frigid temperatures.

 

Not only do we want our caregivers to be safe while driving in extreme weather conditions, we want our community to be safe, too.

 

In this month's VNA blog, we share some tips to help you have a healthy and safe winter driving season.

Getting the Most From Your Medications

Juggling multiple medications? Learn how to keep track of them all and prevent mistakes.

 

The average person over 65 takes nearly 14 prescriptions per year. For most people, these medications help them feel better and reduce the risks of serious health conditions, like high blood pressure or cholesterol. However, medication can also cause health problems if taken incorrectly. Be aware of common mistakes and how to avoid them, get a better understanding of how to read and follow dose instructions, and make it easier to take medications correctly with organization tips and products.

 

Join VNA and our partners from Albany College of Pharmacy to learn how to get the most from your medications.
