Medication management is one of the most critical issues seniors who live independently face. It’s all too easy to miss a dose or take an incorrect dose, especially for seniors who require several different medications throughout the day. But with the assistance of a Mending Hearts LLC caregiver or medication management by one of our nurses, seniors can maintain their independence and quality of life.
For many of our home care clients, their health depends not only on their medications but on taking them accurately. This means taking the right medicine, at the right dose, at the right time of day. The potential consequences of taking medications incorrectly are a genuine concern.
According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, more than a third of medication-related hospitalizations are due to patients not taking their medicine as prescribed.
