MedicationManagement
Did you know that people aged 80-84 take an average of 18 different types of medication per year? Here are 4 reasons why you should trust a licensed assisted living community to manage and dispense medications to an elderly person.
- Eliminate unnecessary medications: A nurse can review your medications with your physician and provide feedback on your reaction to medications. This could lead to a reduction in the number of medications prescribed to seniors in a licensed assisted living community.
- Peace of Mind for Families: It is no longer the duty of faithful family members to pick up prescriptions at the drugstore or call to remind their loved one to take medications. They can enjoy life knowing that trained professionals are caring for their family member.
- Fewer Errors and Mistakes: Keeping track of a multitude of prescriptions can be a hassle. Especially when it comes time to reorder them! A trained medication aide will be there to make sure that the right medication is taken at the right time.
- Peace of Mind for Doctors: By having a trained professional keep track of senior’s medications, your doctor can be confident that their orders are being followed.
