Connecting Waters with Jessica Martinez
Hello all,
Welcome back to Connecting Waters , or welcome if you are new to this column. My name is Jessica Martinez, I am the Community Liaison for Senior Services. I use this column to answer some FAQs I receive from seniors around the community. Some range from really common questions about our services to wacky questions like: “my dog needs a haircut, can you guys do that for me?” (Yes, I’ve really been asked that question before). I am here to answer them all!
The question for this issue is about keeping medications away from the younglings and other household members.
Q: How do I keep my medications away from the younglings and other household members?
A: We can actually refer you to something even better and more secure! Did you know that Health & Human Services (HHS) provides safes for you to not only store medications but also important documents and/or valuables? Well if you didn’t know, now you do!
If you would like a safe, just give Monte Yazzie a call at 480.362.7542 . Also, when you chat with Monte, ask him about some other resources he offers because although his title is Injury Prevention Coordinator, his scope of work covers so much more! He is a valuable resource to us here at Senior Service and he will be a valuable resource to you as well!
