\u201cWe feel it\u2019s important to recognize this because aging can be hard,\u201d says Rhonda Kitchen, Hill\u2019s co-owner and a licensed pharmacist. \u201cPeople often just want to continue living as they have been doing, and that\u2019s where we step in. We can help people continue their independent lives at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
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\u2019s team is dedicated to helping Portage and area residents age gracefully, with as much control as possible. They also genuinely care about their customers\u2019 healthcare needs and are always on hand for a friendly, personalized medication review.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to be the helping hand for you and your loved ones,\u201d says Kitchen. \u201cOur team is here to help, because we understand the challenges and want to make life a little easier for them \u2013 and for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
An important and practical service offered by Hill\u2019s is free home delivery of prescription medications. They have a dedicated delivery driver on staff who picks up prescriptions from both Hill\u2019s locations and delivers them between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a service that can truly help people stay home longer,\u201d Kitchen explains. \u201cCustomers and families don\u2019t have to worry about leaving the house, especially in winter.\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds that Hill\u2019s, like all families, wants the very best for aging loved ones, which is why they\u2019re committed to helping people enjoy the comforts of home as long as possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know you want the best for your parents: safety, dignity and the comfort of home,\u201d says Kitchen. \u201cHere at Hill\u2019s Drug Store, we\u2019ve helped generations of families care for their loved ones as they age. We don\u2019t just serve customers. We care for families \u2013 just like we\u2019ve done for nearly 125 years.<\/p>\n
