Welcome to the Senior Parade of Living!

Providing legal services for over 50 years in West Michigan, we are excited to support the Grand Rapids Business Journal as a sponsor in this event. This tour provides you the opportunity to evaluate and explore several outstanding communities, gain valuable knowledge and information about your options, and connect you with knowledgeable professionals as you seek to make decisions about your future.

The Estate Planning and Probate attorneys at Rhoades McKee can assist you in preserving, administering and transferring wealth. We value lasting relationships with our clients to serve their changing needs over time, and strive to provide straightforward advice.

After we understand a client’s situation and objectives, we explain available planning options. Some of the tools we use to complete an estate plan include Wills, Living Trusts, Financial and Healthcare Powers of Attorney, Deeds to transfer assets into Trust, Property Agreements, Irrevocable Insurance Trusts, Charitable Remainder Trusts, Personal Residence Trusts, Family Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) or Family Limited Partnerships.

We are experienced in advising clients about life insurance, methods of providing for a child’s education, charitable planning, the succession of a family business, planning for distribution of IRAs or pension benefits, and coordinating estate plans among multiple generations.

Our group takes pride in thorough, creative planning to help meet your family’s personal and financial goals.

2010-2011 PARADE OF SENIOR LIVING

All of us at the Chemist Shoppe extend a warm welcome to the Parade of Senior Living.

The Chemist Shoppe has been a locally-owned pharmacy serving metro Grand Rapids since 1976. We want you to know that we are here to serve you with the highest level of personal service when it comes to your medications.

The Chemist Shoppe is an experienced, caring pharmacy with professional pharmacists there to help. When you call the Chemist Shoppe, you will talk to a person, not an automated machine; a person ready to help provide answers to all aspects of your medications, every step of the way, including your questions regarding things like Medicare, drug interactions, possible side effects, diabetic supplies, or vaccinations. The Chemist Shoppe is also a compounding pharmacy and is known for having hard-to-find items.

The Chemist Shoppe also offers a senior discount for over the counter cash items.

But perhaps the most important service that the Chemist Shoppe is known for is their exclusive free prescription delivery service known as Scripts Delivered. This free delivery service is for all prescriptions–whether they are new, refills, or transferred prescriptions. Again, The Chemist Shoppe offers this service to all customers absolutely FREE–with delivery–month in and month out, right to your door, anywhere in metro Grand Rapids. All you have to do is just give us a call, we do the rest. Our free delivery service adds ease and convenience to your prescription needs.

I hope you enjoy the Parade of Senior Living and personally invite you to call me at The Chemist Shoppe.

Sincerely, David McDiarmid Licensed Pharmacist and Owner The Chemist Shoppe 774-7799
