Managing medication safely can become challenging as we age. This guide explains why medication compliance issues occur in older adults and outlines practical steps families can take to reduce risks and stay safe at home.
Medication assistance
Medication assistance ensures individuals take the right medicine at the right time, supporting health, safety, and treatment compliance.
Medication assistance and support are normally assessed by the local council and make up a part of most care assessments. Medication support ranges from a prompt to take medication through to administration of medicines due to a person no longer being able to manage and understand their medication needs for example if they have dementia or Alzheimers.
