Home Helpers in Woodbridge, VA Offers Senior Medication Management

Providing Peace of Mind for Families

As we age, it is common to need some sort of medication to aid in our quality of living or to improve our health. In fact, the majority of people 65 years and older take some type of prescription or over the counter medication. However, with age comes potential obstacles that can make managing medications difficult. This can lead to risks such as missing a dosage, double dosing, taking the medication at the wrong time or the wrong way, or even mixing medications that can have harmful reactions. At Home Helpers® Home Care in Woodbridge, VA, we understand these challenges and offer senior medication management services to provide peace of mind for families.

Obstacles seniors face when taking/managing medications

Small writing on medication bottles, child proofing of medication bottles, confusing instructions, and common declines in senior health such as memory loss, cognitive thinking, and eyesight can all make managing medications more challenging. These obstacles can make it difficult for seniors to accurately and safely take their medications as prescribed. This can not only cause physical harm, but also add stress and worry for both seniors and their families.

Our trained and compassionate Caregivers can provide medication reminder calls, pick up prescriptions, help with opening and organizing medications, and even prepare meals if medication needs to be taken with food.
