Medication Management Services For Seniors

Providing help with medications for seniors is one of the most challenging parts of senior home care. This is because medicines are essential for most elderly to remain healthy or deal with any medical conditions. Usually, seniors tend to have a lot of medical prescriptions to deal with chronic issues, and it can be a challenge to keep up with these. If medication is mismanaged, it can severely hamper their health and may even be dangerous.

Tanner Gish (CEO, Loving Homecare in Whittier, CA) shares about the vision that inspires the people and the partnerships to elevate the aging experience through in-home care relationships.

Important Things About Senior Medication Management

Seniors are liable to develop more chronic illnesses than any other age group. This is because their immunity and health begin to deteriorate at an old age. As a result, their prescriptions are a lot bigger. Managing such extensive prescriptions can be a challenge, especially for them, which means a medical mishap is very likely to occur. Medication management can help you avoid such risky situations.

These mishaps are made further likely by the fact that the packaging and instructions may be poor. Additionally, the medicines may react to other foods and medicines. Overdosing is also very likely when medicines are not available in pill form. As a result, seniors can face dangerous health effects that can make medication errors potentially fatal. Our caregiver’s medication management ensures such a situation will not occur.

How do you remind seniors to take medication?

We employ a range of medication reminder strategies to ensure seniors remember to take their medicine on time. These are:

  • Pill Box Dispensers with alarms
  • Alarm Clocks
  • Pill Reminders on smartphones

  • In-person medication reminders

How do you help someone remember their medication?

The medication strategies we have mentioned in the above FAQ helps seniors to get into a routine that can help them remember their medication eventually without reminders. We also employ a compassionate approach to reminding your loved ones about their medication ensuring they are as comfortable as possible. This helps provide an environment where they can be as comfortable as possible, enabling them to retain their memory.

What is the best medicine reminder?

As such, there is no set-in-stone medicine reminder strategy since each works differently for different people. For example, seniors who are not familiar with technology may not have a good experience with digital medicine reminders. Similarly, some seniors might find in-person reminders annoying, so they may find digital methods better. We make sure to use medicine reminders suitable for your loved ones.
