Getting older can be difficult. As people age, they notice changes in their body and mind, and their loved ones sometimes struggle with the transition and added responsibility.
Help is always welcome, which is why Hill’s Drug Store in Portage la Prairie is emphasizing Healthy Aging Month this September.
“We feel it’s important to recognize this because aging can be hard,” says Rhonda Kitchen, Hill’s co-owner and a licensed pharmacist. “People often just want to continue living as they have been doing, and that’s where we step in. We can help people continue their independent lives at home.”
Whether ensuring a person has the necessary homecare aids, such as walkers, grab bars, shower benches or canes, or providing pill packing services, the Hill’s team is dedicated to helping Portage and area residents age gracefully, with as much control as possible. They also genuinely care about their customers’ healthcare needs and are always on hand for a friendly, personalized medication review.
“We want to be the helping hand for you and your loved ones,” says Kitchen. “Our team is here to help, because we understand the challenges and want to make life a little easier for them – and for you.”
An important and practical service offered by Hill’s is free home delivery of prescription medications. They have a dedicated delivery driver on staff who picks up prescriptions from both Hill’s locations and delivers them between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.
“This is a service that can truly help people stay home longer,” Kitchen explains. “Customers and families don’t have to worry about leaving the house, especially in winter.”
She adds that Hill’s, like all families, wants the very best for aging loved ones, which is why they’re committed to helping people enjoy the comforts of home as long as possible.
“We know you want the best for your parents: safety, dignity and the comfort of home,” says Kitchen. “Here at Hill’s Drug Store, we’ve helped generations of families care for their loved ones as they age. We don’t just serve customers. We care for families – just like we’ve done for nearly 125 years.
