At Guiding Seniors, our primary goal is to ensure that our clients receive the correct medication at the correct times.

​

Getting Started with Medication Management 

We begin with a thorough assessment of the client’s medication needs to fully understand their requirements and establish a straightforward medication management system. Our nurses regularly check in to ensure everything is proceeding smoothly and handle any changes or challenges, particularly after events like hospital discharges.

 

Comprehensive Medication Management

Our medication management process includes:

• Identifying all medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, and determining the best schedule for taking them.

• Educating clients about each medication.

• Collecting key information from physicians and pharmacies.

• Collaborating with physicians to resolve any questions or concerns.

• Documenting medical history, including any allergies.

• Addressing current medication challenges.

• Coordinating medication refills with either local or mail-order pharmacies.

• Keeping updated records of all medication information.

• Understanding insurance coverage and requirements.

 

Options for Managing Medication

We discuss various strategies for managing medications, which may include:

• Loading of medication boxes to simplify administration.

• Installing devices that aid in medication administration.

• Using blister packs for easier medication handling when suitable.

 

We are proactive in addressing any changes or challenges that arise and are always available to answer questions or address concerns regarding medication management.
