Senior Medication Management with Home Helpers in Santa Rosa, CA

Managing Medications for Seniors Can Be Challenging

As we age, our bodies often require more maintenance to stay healthy. This includes taking various prescription and over the counter medications. In fact, the majority of people 65 and older take some type of medication to aid their quality of life or improve their health. However, managing these medications can be a challenging task for seniors, and can lead to serious risks if not done properly. This is where Home Helpers® Home Care in Santa Rosa, CA can help with our senior medication management services.

Obstacles Seniors Face with Medications

There are several obstacles that seniors can face when it comes to managing their medications. Small writing on prescription bottles, child-proofing caps, confusing instructions, and declines in memory, cognitive thinking, and eyesight are common challenges. These obstacles can lead to missed dosages, double dosing, taking medication at the wrong time or in the wrong way, and even harmful reactions from mixing medications.
