Medication Management

Home & Hearth Caregivers

If your loved one is like most seniors, they likely take at least one or two types of prescription medication – some take many more. While modern medicine has blessed humanity with longevity through medical research and the development of many “wonder drugs,” it is imperative that individuals take prescription medication exactly as directed.

As people age, it becomes more difficult to remember things – and when it comes to medication, that can become problematic. With one pill, you might set an alarm (but you still need to remember to set it), or with two or three prescriptions, you might decide to invest in one of those weekly dosing containers. Nevertheless, as time goes by, the medication regime might get more complicated, or your loved one might become a bit more forgetful, or begin to show the signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

This is where elder home assistance services in Naperville might come in handy. If you are unable to supervise the daily medication regime for your aging loved one, Home & Hearth Caregivers can help. Our friendly and knowledgeable caregivers can provide reliable medication management – ensuring safety and providing peace of mind.

Why It is So Important

While skipping medication can cause problems, especially for someone with a chronic disease whose well-being depends on timely dosing, taking too much medication can often be worse. Many seniors are worried about forgetting to take their pills – so worried that they may think they forgot and decide to take them again. Doubling up on certain medications including blood thinners, insulin, and even iron supplements can lead to serious consequences and even death.

 

One of the best things you can do for any senior under your care is to ensure they have someone looking over their medication regime. If you are unable to do this yourself, reach out to our dedicated team of senior care professionals. Whether they take prescription medications, natural supplements, or a combination of both, their well-being and quality of life may directly depend on this seemingly small task.
