Considerate, private, respectful personal aged
care and assistance.

Professional Medication Management

As people age, they may develop more than one condition that requires medication. Multiple medications can be hard to manage for older people because they may:

• Forget to take one or more medications
• Take a double dose accidentally
• Have an interaction
• Experience side effects

What is Professional Medication Management?

Lektro Services Home Health Care’s professional medication management in home health care service involves a member of our caregiving staff setting up medication reminders for a client. The reminders are set up according to the medication list provided by the client. If the medication schedule is changed due to a recent doctor’s visit or an adverse reaction, simply provide the care staff with an updated copy.

Management of medication is usually combined with one of our care services like personal care, live-in care, or companion care. This allows the caregiver assigned to the client to look out for any side effects or interactions that may occur.

Why Choose Professional Medication Management?

There are multiple solutions available on the market for medication management services for seniors. They typically focus on the management aspect by reminding the person to take the medication. But medication reminders are just part of medication management. While they can easily be automated, there is no substitute for a caregiver making sure that the medications were taken appropriately and looking for any side effects or adverse reactions.

For people who have significant health challenges that require multiple medications, professional medication management is essential. Taking medication on time matters. Any side effects or interactions may impact a client’s health. Having another person around for caregiver medication management who can look out for these things can help make sure that the client continues to receive the health care that they need to live at home successfully.

Who Will Benefit from Professional Medication Management?

Medication management at home is recommended for clients who have difficulty understanding how medications affect them and what can happen if they mix medications and food or supplements together. It’s also beneficial for clients who aren’t getting the outcome that they should have from a medication.
