Why Medication Reminders Are Important for Seniors in Bethesda and Surrounding Areas
Plenty of seniors take five or more medications each day, so it can be confusing for them to remember what pills to take at a certain time or what pills come with special instructions. Managing complex medication schedules can be particularly difficult if not dangerous for older adults with cognitive conditions like dementia.
With medication reminders from Visiting Angels of Bethesda, our home care aides make sure that seniors take their medications as instructed by their medical team, preventing medication mismanagement that may lead to side effects, worsening of health problems, or development of new medical conditions.
Our home care aides can help with medication management in many ways, including:
- Setting a timer so your loved one knows when to take medications when they are home alone
- Providing verbal medication reminders when they are around
- Ensuring medication instructions are followed
- Watching your loved one take their medications to make certain it is done as instructed by medical professionals
- Writing down the dates and times when the medications were taken
- Paying attention to side effects when your loved one starts taking new medications
Since our home care aides do not provide medical care, they cannot organize pillboxes or administer medications, but they can make medication management easier through reminders and other related services.
