Medication Reminder Services for Seniors

Staying busy is an important and valuable part of maintaining the quality of life for seniors, and Qualicare is committed to making everyday living as comfortable and enjoyable for our clients as possible.

When it comes to medications, reminders for the elderly can prove to be an invaluable service. Senior medication management can be challenging, especially when someone is juggling numerous medications or prescriptions at the same time.

Among all the other ways that our caregivers can lend a helping hand to our clients, our medication reminder services could be considered one of the most beneficial.

Our Medication Reminders & Management Services for Seniors

Whether seniors are looking for pill reminders, need assistance with applying topical ointments, lotions, or creams, or could even just use some help organizing their prescriptions, so that they’re always taking the right prescription at the right time, our caregivers are here to help.

Our caregivers can provide senior medication assistance services, such as:

  • Helping with retrieving medications
  • Opening frustrating prescription containers
  • Ensuring dosages are correct
  • Applying topical medications
  • Reminders to take medications before/after meals
  • Ensuring clients have food or water to take with their medications
  • Picking up/refilling prescriptions from the pharmacy
  • Monitoring important factors that can impact health (i.e. body temperature)

As you can see, there is a lot more to medication management for seniors than pill reminders. Just like how the comfort and wellness of all our clients are always top priority, we take elderly medication management very seriously.

The Benefits of Medication Management & Reminder Services

When clients are forced to handle movements by themselves, and they have mobility limitations, there’s always the risk of accidents occurring.

Qualicare makes fall prevention a priority for all of our clients, because we know how vital it is to avoid these unfortunate situations. One fall can have life-altering consequences, and we give clients the peace of mind that they won’t be forced to face those situations, because they have our caregivers’ assistance readily available whenever it’s needed.

Without being forced to rely on their own strength and balance, Qualicare’s mobility services are drastically reducing the number of falls clients experience in their homes.

In turn, we’re providing comfort in knowing seniors always have the mobility support they need, so they can continue to live in their home safely and comfortably.

Senior Medication Management Frequently Asked Questions:

Where Can Qualicare Clients Access Medication Management for Seniors?

We can help assist with medication management for elderly clients living at home, in nursing facilities, hospitals, or within retirement communities.

Do Caregivers Just Provide Medical Reminder Services?

No, Qualicare provides substantially more support than simply giving medication reminders for elderly clients. We provide personalized care that takes into account each person’s individual wants and needs, while creating an environment built around wellness, independence, and comfort.
If a client only wants/needs medication reminders, our caregivers can absolutely provide that service. However, we can also provide a helping hand with preparing dosages, taking medications, tracking doses, and refilling prescriptions as needed with specialized nursing care.

What if Clients Have Multiple Medications or Doses Each Day?

We can help assist with medication management for elderly clients living at home, in nursing facilities, hospitals, or within retirement communities.

Can Caregivers Assist with Complex Medication Reminders Services for Seniors?

Qualicare knows that each client may have different medical needs, which could include different types of prescriptions that need to be taken in different ways.

Our caregivers are experts at providing professional, medical, and some even have nursing designations, which allows them to safely assist with more complex medications, such as intramuscular or intravenous prescriptions.

Once a care expert is connected with each client, they create a personalized plan of care, so that each person’s needs are always met with compassion and care.

What if a Client Doesn’t Want to Take Their Medication?

Taking medications frequently can be frustrating or confusing for some seniors, but our caregivers are adept at talking clients through these tough situations.
With patience, regular support, and companionship, Qualicare builds healthy relationships with our clients, so that we can help them manage these types of challenging situations. We provide them the support they need, without ever compromising on their comfort or wellness.

What if a Client Has an Adverse Reaction to a Medication?

Unfortunately, there are situations where clients have unplanned reactions or side effects to their medications. Thankfully, our caregivers are skilled and trained at identifying these reactions as soon as they occur, so that if a client ever does have an adverse reaction to a medication, they can get the support they need as quickly as possible.
