As we age, we are likely to develop health problems that we have not faced before. These problems could include high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, or even a chronic pain disorder. All of these problems result in one commonality, prescribed medications.
It is a running joke in our society that as you age you become more and more forgetful, but where that forgetfulness becomes dangerous is in relation to daily medications. One of the main tasks that our nurses can assist with is medication management. When you are working with a person with dementia or Alzheimer's in particular, it is important that their medications are organized and refilled regularly.
Services include:
Confirm with MD all medications/supplements
Pre-fill daily medication organizers for the week/month
Order/obtain medication refills
Instruct clients on medication usage/side effects
Impaired hearing or general loss of memory can make it difficult for a client to understand the proper instructions for taking a medication and the risks associated with not following the instructions. Our nurses are able to assist their clients with medication administration. This service ensures that your loved one is ingesting the proper dosage of medicines at the appropriate times, offering you peace of mind.
