Medication Management
Your elderly loved one may take several different daily prescription medications – many older adults do. Seniorcorp services include:
- Keeping track of their clients’ medications
-
Reminding them to take their prescribed medications
-
Monitoring their clients for any effects (increased dizziness or confusion) of taking multiple medications
-
Serving as an advocate with the doctor and pharmacist. While Seniorcorp staff cannot administer medications, they can:
-
Help their client understand when, and under any food restrictions, to take each medication;
-
Keep a list of all medications, their dosages, and the time of day they need to be taken;
-
Review their client’s medications, side effects, and possible drug interactions with their doctor and/or pharmacist at each visit.
"Each caregiver who has come to my home has always made me feel very comfortable and sat with me and carried on a conversation with me rather than making me feel just taken care of. I feel they are as much friends as caregivers."
