Hello!

Medication Management At Home

Managing medications at home ensures safety, effectiveness, and proper use—especially for those with multiple prescriptions.

With different doctors and pharmacies, medication confusion is common, increasing the risk of serious complications. In fact, the CDC reports over 300,000 hospitalizations yearly due to adverse drug effects.

Proper in-home medication management helps prevent these risks, keeping your loved ones safe, healthy, and comfortably at home.

The Essentials of Medication Management

The right medicine. The right dosage.  At the right time.

Proper medication management is vital for aging adults with chronic conditions. This ensures the safe and effective use of medicines.

From evaluating the drugs to organizing and administering them correctly, this process is vital in offering effective care and preventing any medication-related problems.

Our care team ensures patients take the right medication, at the right dose, at the right time—just as prescribed. We collaborate with doctors to monitor effectiveness and promptly adjust treatments if health needs change, ensuring safe and personalized care.

Medication Management 
We assess medications for appropriateness, effectiveness, safety, cost, and compliance to enhance health outcomes, collaborating with patients and healthcare providers.

In-home medication management benefits those with complex regimens, cognitive impairments, caregivers, and anyone managing multiple medications.

Our medication management services include personalized scheduling, regimen review, medication list compilation, patient and caregiver education, effectiveness monitoring, and doctor communication for optimal outcomes.

Improper Medication Use
Improper medication use includes multiple prescriptions from different doctors, mixing supplements with prescriptions, memory or vision-related management struggles, missed or doubled doses, and unnecessary refills. These issues increase health risks, leading to emergency visits and hospitalizations. Proper management ensures safer, more effective care.

Medication Management as Part of the Care Plan
A home health care plan includes physicians’ orders, special care instructions, and a detailed medication management plan. It may also involve tasks for the in-home caregiver, such as providing medication reminders or monitoring vital signs like blood pressure.

Medication management is an ongoing process. Our team regularly visits and communicates with the client, family, or caregiver to assess the situation, track progress, and make necessary adjustments. The plan is continually refined and adapted to meet the client’s changing physical or mental health needs over time.
