For the International Day of Older Persons on October 1st, the Province of Luxembourg offers a simple yet potentially vital tool: Senior Focus. This is a bright yellow box to be placed in the refrigerator of individuals aged 75 and above.
This box contains crucial personal and medical information: contact details, a recent photo, lifestyle habits, medications, allergies, and chronic conditions. A sticker on or near the refrigerator alerts emergency services to the box's presence, allowing them quick access to necessary information for prompt and appropriate care in case of illness or disappearance.
In the municipality of Habay, eligible residents can obtain their Senior Focus box by contacting various local services:
This simple gesture is designed to provide valuable assistance to seniors, their loved ones, and emergency responders.
