Reduce the risk of medication mix-ups with medication management services for seniors.  

Prevent accidents with medication management, organization, reminders, and monitoring.

Who can benefit from medication management services?

Elders and people with chronic health issues often take multiple medications, vitamins, and supplements to treat different conditions. Unfortunately, similar-looking pills and confusing directions can cause seniors without help to miss (or double) doses, resulting in worsening symptoms or other potentially more serious health risks. In addition, medications change with health conditions, and temporary conditions further complicate a person’s medication management system with new short-term medications that need to be added and then stopped. 

Clients with dementia or Alzheimer’s benefit most from medication management services, but all seniors benefit from having a second set of eyes. Our caregivers can do medication sorting, give reminders to take medications, and watch for or monitor potential side effects and adverse reactions.
