Find A Job OpportunityUnderstanding Medication Management Services
With medication management services with Legacy Home Care, our nurse will review your medication profile and set-up medications for the upcoming 1-2 weeks. This adds assurance that the medications will be taken at the right times and dosages, whether being self-administered or with the assistance of a loved one or home health aide.
Our nurses can help to answer questions about medication usage, handle order refills, and review all medications to ensure that they are being used appropriately. Additionally, our nurses will communicate with the primary care team about any changes in a client’s condition for quality continuity of care.
Benefits of Medication Management Services?
There are the many benefits of having a licensed nurse perform medication management services for your aging loved one, which include:
- Peace of Mind: By hiring a medication management nurse, the risk of adverse effects is decreased and any issues or concerns can be detected early.
- Proper Dosage and Timing: The personal care that clients receive by having their medications managed reduces the risk of possible adverse reactions and missed doses.
- Order Refills: By staying on top of medications on a regular basis, our nurses will know when it is time to order refills from clients’ pharmacies and will do so accordingly.
- Active Medication Reviews: Our nurses will also actively review all medications that clients are taking to ensure that clients are taking the most suitable medications for their individual conditions.
- Communication with Care Team: The nurses involved in our medication management programs will also regularly update doctors on clients’ health status and advise if there have been any changes that may warrant medication modifications.
