Medication management

Studies have shown that 87% of seniors take at least one prescription drug, 36% take 5 or more, and 38% use over-the-counter medications. Consequently, Legacy Care Coordination is sensitive to the fact that the majority of seniors take multiple medications throughout the day therefore it is likely that there are errors or instances of forgetfulness. It is critical for seniors to take their medicine timely and correctly as it manages their symptoms and treats their different health conditions. The assessment that is conducted will identify the challenges as well as the senior’s status to manage their medication independently. This aspect of your loved ones’ care is vital to their success and stability in the community.

Legacy Care Coordination is able to provide oversight and support as necessary to enable individuals to manage their medication appropriately and safely. This maybe accomplished through collaboration with nursing partners or through direct support, organization and training.
