Nov 2025

I am sticking with it for next year.

We go to our senior center. A person from the state's department on aging compares plans and pharmacies for us and helps us find the best one. This help used to be the best kept secret in the area. I just walked in and got help. Now I need an appointment and I need to either mail or drop off a list of my meds so they can figure it out in advance for me and for my husband. Everyone should look for this type of help in their area.
