Our caregivers can help elders remember to take pills and other medications that family members or health care providers have pre-arranged.
The Importance of Medication Reminders for Senior Family Members
Seniors are prone to taking various drugs throughout the day. There are often medicines that must be taken at specific times during the day – in the morning, afternoon, or before night – and pills that seniors must take with food, water, or on an empty stomach. Keeping track of many drug schedules and instructions can be difficult, especially for seniors with dementia.
Our caregivers might provide medication reminders. Medication reminders include the following:
- Set a timer for your loved one to know when it's time to take their pills.
- Using a vocal reminder to remind you that it's time to take your prescription
- Ensure that medication instructions are followed, such as taking it with meals or a full glass of water.
- Observe seniors while taking or administering medication to ensure that it is done correctly.
- Keeping track of the dates and times that elderly family members took each drug, so that family members are aware of its administration.
- When new medications are introduced, keep an eye out for any adverse effects or symptoms.
In most circumstances, it is critical to take medications appropriately and consistently to be successful. If a family member forgets to take their blood pressure medicine, it can have significant consequences for their general health.
