Senior Medication Management with Home Helpers in Tampa Bay
Ensuring Safe and Empathetic Management of Medications for Seniors
As we age, it is natural for our health needs to change. The majority of people 65 and older take some type of prescription or over the counter medication that typically aids their quality of living or makes a real difference in their health. However, with increasing age, seniors may face several obstacles when trying to manage their medications. This can lead to risks such as missing a dosage, double dosing, taking the medication at the wrong time or the wrong way, or mixing medications that can create harmful reactions. At Home Helpers® Home Care in Tampa Bay, we understand the importance of senior medication management and offer services to ensure safe and empathetic management of medications.
Obstacles Seniors Face with Medication Management
The process of managing medications can be challenging for seniors. Small writing on medication bottles, child-proofing of medication bottles, confusing instructions, and common declines in senior health when it comes to their memory, cognitive thinking, and eyesight can make it difficult for them to stay on top of their medication schedule. This can have serious consequences on their health and well-being. At Home Helpers, we recognize the unique challenges that seniors face and provide solutions to help them manage their medications effectively.
