Dependable Medication Supervision for Seniors
Taking medications as prescribed is a critical component of the daily lives of many seniors living with diseases and health conditions. The long list of medications they are given, along with new medications they are routinely prescribed, can become a real challenge for seniors to manage on their own.
If you find yourself caring for an aging parent with a health condition such as Alzheimer’s or dementia, you know all too well the plethora of medications they may be required to take to prevent memory impairment, promote sleep, reduce anxiety, and improve one’s mood. Our caregivers at Caring At Home are careful to ensure that you or your loved one is taking the correct medication at the proper time of day.
