Medication Reminders
Seniors often forget to take their medication on time or in the correct dosage. Reminders from our at-home senior care providers in Canton can help keep them on schedule.
What Is Medication Management?
The proper administration of multiple medications throughout the day can be a challenge for most people, especially for the elderly. Our at-home senior care providers in Canton assist in medication management by tracking medication times and reminding clients to take their medications on schedule.
What Tasks Does Medication Management Include?
Medication management from our Canton agency includes the following tasks to help your loved one remain healthy and safe:
-
- Complete inventory of medications
- Maintain and track medication schedule
- Report any side effects to family members and medical personnel
- Reminders to take medications on time and in the proper dosage
Some Things to Consider
- Seniors 50+ use more prescription and over-the-counter medicines than any other age group. They are at the highest risk for being hospitalized for a medication mishap. Many of these mishaps could have been avoided with medication management.
- 1.3 million Americans are injured each year due to medication errors. The most common causes of these errors in seniors are confusing packaging, poor communication, overdosing, and dangerous interactions with other medications or foods.
