How Our In-Home Caregivers Assist Elderly in Leesburg, Reston, VA, and the Surrounding Areas in Remembering to Take Their Prescriptions 

A rising number of senior citizens in Leesburg and the other Loudoun County areas use a variety of drugs daily to aid in their overall health maintenance, manage chronic conditions, or expedite their recovery following surgery. If your elderly loved one is taking medicine, they could have specific instructions or need to take it at certain times. The time of day (morning, afternoon, or before sleep) and whether the tablet should be taken with food, drink, or on an empty stomach are specified in the medication instructions. A medication is often only effective if taken appropriately and consistently.

However, age-related cognitive decline or memory problems brought on by dementia or a related illness may make it difficult for your loved one to adhere to the recommended medication schedule. Specific individuals may experience difficulty remembering to take their medicine on schedule or calculating the appropriate dosage. These difficulties might lead to health complications or reduce the effectiveness of their medication.

Visiting Angels of Leesburg offers medication reminders that are useful in helping elders remember to take their medications on time. Our in-home caregivers are dedicated to assisting older adults in comfortably and securely aging in place. Our customized, one-on-one approach to elder care prioritizes our client's requirements, so you can rest easy knowing your loved one is in excellent and skilled hands.

Our in-home caregivers can assist your loved one in the following ways: 

• Using an app on your loved one's phone to set a timer or reminders will help them remember to take their prescription on time. 
• Ensuring that drug instructions are followed 
• Monitoring the medicine intake of your loved one to make sure they take it as prescribed or remember to take it with food or water 
• Making a note of the days and times your loved one takes their medicine may help family members understand when it was taken.
