Have you heard about the Vial of Life Project? Emergency medical technicians throughout the U.S. are trained to look for the vial in a patient's refrigerator -- the contents include details on prescription medications taken and other vital documents, such as living wills and do-not-resuscitate orders. Creating a Vial of Life can be as simple as labeling an old prescription bottle with large red lettering, inserting the vital information, and placing it in the refrigerator. It is also helpful if a magnet is placed on the refrigerator door, indicating the presence of a Vial of Life. Alternately, you can to to

The Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, U.S. Department of health and Human Services, is a nationwide service that connects older Americans and their caregivers with information on senior services that will help older persons live independently and safely in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Those who need assistance will find help in navigating through the maze of providers and programs by identifying trustworthy local support resources. Older persons can identify sources for help with meals, home care, transportation, counseling healthcare insurance and legal assistance. To access the Eldercare Locator online, go to

And Remember . . . Always keep several get well cards on the mantle, so if unexpected guests arrive, they'll think you've been sick and unable to clean.
