Visiting Angles of Carlisle is a professional caregiving agency that aids the elderly with ADLs (activities of daily living) in their homes. This includes transportation, mobility assistance, light housekeeping, laundry, bathing help, and meal preparation.

Our home care aides may provide medication reminders to ensure that seniors in Carlisle, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, and the other areas of Pennsylvania take their prescriptions as directed and at the appropriate times each day. While we may assist with reminders, we cannot dispense medications or arrange pill boxes due to our focus on providing vital personal care.

To discuss the possibility of in-home care for an elderly relative or friend, please call our Carlisle, PA, office at 717-241-5900.

The Significance of Medication Reminders for Carlisle, Gettysburg, and Surrounding Communities' Elderly Residents

Taking several drugs at different times throughout the day is typical for seniors. A few medications have specific dosing instructions; some must be taken at certain times daily, such as first thing in the morning, midday, or just before bed. Still others must be taken with specific foods or beverages or on an empty stomach. Older adults with dementia may find it particularly challenging to keep track of the dosage, timing, and directions for several drugs.

To ensure that your loved one takes their medicine as prescribed, our home care aides might use the following strategies:

• Timing an activity
• Reminding someone orally
• Sure that drug instructions are adhered to
• Keeping an eye on the elderly to ensure they are taking their medicine as prescribed
• Noting when and how often each drug was taken
• When starting a new drug, watching for potential unwanted effects is essential.
• For most drugs, the key to getting the most out of them is taking them at the prescribed times every day.
