Managing Medication for Seniors

Managing Medication for Seniors

Getting the right home healthcare in California involves different factors you need to consider for your loved one and the family. At Modern Home Health Care, Inc., care management is more about the patient. This would include medications appropriately prescribed for them.
 
As your chosen home health agency in Chula Vista, California, we understand how medications may affect the overall wellbeing of your loved one. Especially for seniors, the body’s response to medicine has changed. The body has adapted to certain amounts of medication, and this may affect a person’s thinking and emotional aspect.
 
Risks and challenges associated with medication can be managed. With our level of skilled nursing in California, we help you and your loved one manage medications to avoid and prevent risks and medication problems.
 
We start this by knowing the patient’s health conditions, medical history, and current prescriptions. A medicine tracker for all medications including, over-the-counter, dietary supplements, and even herbal remedies provide a record of what the patient has been taking. Keeping prescription slips are also encouraged.
 
Reading and understanding the Drug Facts label found in medication packages or inserts tell the use of the medicine and how often it should be taken. An important note on the possible allergic reaction or side effects should be highlighted. Warning instructions such as when to stop taking the medicine keeps safety in check.
 
As important as taking the medicines, following proper storage instructions are necessary to make sure the medicine stays as effective as it claims. Expiration dates must always be checked.
