Medication Safety & Management Elder Care Solutions in Grand Junction, CO
Elder care services can assist your aging loved one in taking medications as prescribed in Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, and the nearby area.
Very few seniors are fortunate enough not to require prescription medicine. Complex drug regimens are a common difficulty for those over the age of 65, which is why good medication management is a critical component of most elder care strategies.
The key to finding a quality elder care solution that works best for your loved one is communication. Speak openly with your loved one and find out what they would like best and be most comfortable with. Remember, making sure your loved one is taking their medication as prescribed could be a matter of life and death for them, particularly with the more complicated schedules. Reach out to call us at (970) 232-2165 for more information regarding our medication care.
Why Are Medication Reminders Necessary?
At Comfort Keepers, we provide elders with a variety of choices for securely adhering to their drug regimens. What ultimately works for your loved one will rely largely on their prescription medication regimen. Our medication management solutions may be a good option for seniors who take as many as 20 prescription pills per day but do not have a live-in caregiver or pay for 24-hour home care. Seniors on milder medication regimens, on the other hand, maybe OK with a caring professional offering medicine reminders while assisting them with other daily duties.
As we already mentioned, Comfort Keepers provides two options for the easy handling of medications for seniors. Medication reminders are the first type of care that we provide, and it includes tasks like reminders for when and how to take medications for seniors, reading prescription labels for them, and picking up new medication at the pharmacy. As we are a non-medical home care agency, we do not administer or dispense medication.
The second solution we provide as part of our elder care plans is medication management devices. These small and well-designed devices can be easily incorporated into any home and will alert seniors of when and where to take their medication and leave no room for error. As technology can never replace a senior care professional, we advise our clients to opt for both solutions for increased safety.
Products Available To Help Seniors Track Medication
The medication safety and management products we offer are the Pill Dispenser, which can hold up to 60 medication cups containing 20 and 25 pills each, the Tab Safe, which was developed for complex medication schedules, and the MedMinder, which can be managed online.
