Starke County TRIAD

Meetings are held every quarter on the 4th Monday of the month at 12:30 pm  in July, October, January and April at the Community Services office. Beacon Flasher Lights: These are free to senior citizens who are on the Energy Assistance Program or to anyone with REMC electric service.  They may also be purchased for $15.00.  The adapter is inserted into your porch light and when you turn your light on and off a couple of times in a row, the porch light will flash continuously which will enable emergency personnel to find your home easier. Files of Life:  The red magnetic sleeve contains a form on which you enter your name, address, physician, emergency contacts, prescriptions, past surgeries, allergies, diagnoses, religion and healthcare proxy information.  The File of Life should be placed on your refrigerator where emergency medical personnel can easily find it (they have been made aware that many seniors have these.)  There is no charge for the File of Life. Pill Drops:  These are held twice a year to drop off outdated or unneeded prescriptions.  Please call the Community Services Office for dates and times (574-772-7070.)
