How Our In-Home Caregivers Help Seniors in Raleigh, NC and Nearby Areas Remember to Take Medications
An increasing number of elderly people in Raleigh and surrounding communities in Wake County are taking various medications daily to help them stay in good shape, deal with ongoing medical issues, or speed up their recovery after surgeries. If your senior loved one is currently taking a prescribed medication, they may need to take it at regular intervals or in a certain way. Medication instructions will specify the time of day (morning, afternoon, or before night) and whether the pill should be taken with food, water, or on an empty stomach. Most of the time, the only way for a medicine to work is if it is taken correctly and regularly.
However, your loved one may have trouble following the prescribed prescription schedule due to age-related cognitive decline or memory issues caused by dementia or a similar condition. Some people have trouble remembering to take their medication at the right times, or they may have trouble determining how much of a dose to take. These issues may make their medicine less effective or cause health problems.
But with helpful medication reminders from Visiting Angels of Raleigh, seniors can have an easier time remembering when to take their medication. Our in-home caregivers are committed to helping seniors age in place safely and comfortably. Since our personalized, one-on-one approach to senior care puts the needs of our clients first, you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in capable and caring hands.
Here are some ways our in-home caregivers can help your loved one:
- Setting a timer or reminders on an app on your loved one’s phone so they can take their medication when they need to
- Making sure instructions for medications are followed
- Watching your loved one take their medication so we can ensure they take the proper dosage or remember to take it with food or water
- Keeping a record of dates and times when your loved one takes their medication so that family members know that it was done
