HEALTH & SAFETY
Nursing home admissions avoided with simplified prescription packaging
 (BPT) - Almost half of seniors aged 65 and older take at least five different prescription drugs regularly, and one in four take between 10 and 19 pills each day according to data. In addition, more than half of seniors admit to not taking their medications as directed, and the adherence rate decreases as the number of daily medications prescribed increases.

"For seniors, taking one pill a day is manageable, however the complexity of taking multiple medications each with its own set of instructions, represents a real challenge that impacts their health and independence, says Ian Salditch, CEO of Medicine-On-Time. "However, the difficulties associated with taking multiple medications can effectively be addressed through customized prescription packaging."

 Salditch's company developed Medicine-On-Time, where local pharmacists sort and organize medications into personalized pill cups labeled with the day, date and time to take them. Pharmacists provide all the pill cups to the patient organized into colorful calendar cards. It's convenient, easy-to-use and, most importantly, proven effective to help people maintain independence and enjoy better health.

HELPFUL HINTS
Curb appeal: 2013's hottest home improvement trend
(BPT) - The busy home remodeling season is a great time for homeowners to focus on increasing curb appeal.

"Homeowners want it all in 2013; low maintenance products that perform and style that breaks the cookie-cutter mold," says Jerry Blais, vice president, marketing, Ply Gem siding group. "Colorful vinyl siding options in different styles, combined with complementary trim, stone veneer and designer accents that set your home apart are in demand for home improvements."

For experienced DIYers considering a weekend project, painting the front door or replacing shutters is a simple solution with dramatic results. These small changes create a focal point for the house and provide a warm, inviting appearance with a modern feel. Brands such as Mastic Home Exteriors by Ply Gem offer shutters in dozens of pre-selected colors, which can also be painted for a custom look.

For those ready to create a whole new style, installing new siding and trim can infuse life into a bland exterior. Vinyl siding, stone veneer and designer accents have evolved over the years, with vastly expanded color palettes, easy maintenance and a natural look. By incorporating cellular PVC trim as an accent to vinyl siding and stone, even the most discerning homeowners will get a low maintenance, sophisticated look to meet high-style demands.
