 This episode of "Informed Aging" offers vital, proactive advice for older adults on how to make 911 calls more efficient and less stressful. Host Robin Rountree and guest James Estep, a firefighter and paramedic, discuss common avoidable accidents and essential steps to take before an emergency. Learn why having a pre-written medical history on hand, ensuring your house number is visible, and securing pets can drastically improve emergency response and patient outcomes. The conversation also covers the critical aspects of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders and local fire department resources designed to keep you safe. 

Support local non-profits just by dining in September at any of the locations of the 1905 Family Of Restaurants. That includes all seven locations of the Columbia Restaurant plus Cha Cha Coconuts, Ulele and Casa Santo Stefano. 

Now in the 28th year, the company’s month-long Community Harvest donates 5 percent of all diners’ checks to charities selected by the guests. Over the last 27 years, this program provided $4.4 million to Florida non-profit organizations.
