Medication Reminders

Medication management plays an important role in the daily lives of seniors with diseases, conditions, and ailments. Seniors with Alzheimer’s and Dementia are often prescribed medication to prevent memory impairment, promote sleep, reduce anxiety, and improve one’s mood. The long list of medications they are given, along with the new medications that are routinely prescribed, can be difficult to manage. Our Caregivers are careful to ensure that you or your loved one is taking the correct medication at the appropriate time of day. Some of the medication management services we offer include:

• Ensure medication is taken in the proper dosage at the proper time

• Setting up the pill box to help with managing medication

• Logging medication intake daily

By law, our Caregivers are unable to administer medications through injections, IV therapy, suppositories, and force feeding. Only a licensed nurse may perform these duties.

 

Respite Care

Taking care of an older or ill family member can be enormously rewarding — but it can be physically and emotionally draining as well. Whether it’s for a few hours a week to run errands or a few weeks a year to take a much-needed vacation, respite care offers you the chance to reduce stress, restore energy and keep your life in balance.
