We may establish frequent medication reminders to assist the elderly in remembering to take their pills at the prescribed times daily.

Our organization offers home care aides who can provide in-home supportive services for seniors by reminding them of the importance of taking their medications as prescribed by their doctors.

Why Elderly Medication Reminders Matter So Much and How In-Home Supportive Services Can Help Seniors in York, PA, and The Nearby Areas

It is common for the elderly to take many drugs. Take your medication at the beginning of the day, close to bedtime, or with food, depending on your prescription. Dementia patients have a very hard time keeping track of important care instructions, such as when to take their medications.

Our in-home supportive services can help with things like these and more:

• Put a timer on a loved one's medication to help them remember to take it at the prescribed times.
• A verbal reminder might help you remember to take your medication at the correct times.
• Be sure to take your medication exactly as prescribed, which includes taking it with meals and lots of water.
• Check up with the elderly to make sure they are taking their medicine as prescribed.
• Keep track of when and what medications were taken by making sure everyone in the household knows.
• Keep an eye out for any unusual side effects when you start taking a new drug.

Consistent dosing is essential for the optimal effect of most drugs. For example, your loved one's health might be jeopardized if he or she isn't following their blood pressure medication regimen.

Home care aides from our organization may help with many different things, including:

• Taking care of errands, grocery shopping, and dinner preparation, among other housekeeping duties
• Being at someone's side to provide assistance and companionship throughout the day
• Performing basic housekeeping duties such as changing sheets and putting clothes away
• Assisting with personal hygiene tasks, including bathing, dressing, and toileting

With in-home supportive services, your loved one will get the particular attention they need. Our geriatric patients receive tailored care plans that reflect their unique preferences, routines, and personalities.
