Medication Management

Our Care Managers can help by:

• Obtaining orders from physicians to verify all medications.
• Pouring and sorting the exact medication doses needed into pillboxes according to the right time of day and day of the week.
• Updating the previously sorted medications when the doctor changes dosage or drug type.
• Reviewing special instructions on how medication should be taken and different drug interactions, so that you or your loved one can be kept from harm.
• Calling the pharmacy when refills are needed and calling physicians when new orders need to be placed.
• Educating family members and caregivers on how drugs should be taken, the purposes of your medications, and any side effects that may occur.
• Picking up medications, or coordinating delivery by mail, and purchasing other items needed for safe care.
• Monitoring to ensure that medications are being taken properly, and that the medication is working, and informing physicians of any adverse effects that drugs may be causing.
