One of the more common tasks our caregivers perform with our clients is \u201cMedication Reminders.\u201d\u00a0 It sounds so simple, doesn\u2019t it?\u00a0 Sometimes it is, but there are good reasons for making sure that reminder occurs each visit.\u00a0 125,000 reasons.<\/p>\n

Medication non-adherence is responsible for 125,000 deaths and up to 30% of senior hospitalizations every year.\u00a0 This is a problem that has been studied a lot (you can find a recent literature review paper here<\/a>) and is on the rise.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to see why.\u00a0 The average senior takes 5 or more medications a day.\u00a0 Managing these can be overwhelming!\u00a0 Doses get mixed up.\u00a0 Small print on bottles is hard to read.\u00a0 Memory loss means seniors may forget to take their medications or take too many.\u00a0 And people often think they feel fine, so they don\u2019t need their medications at all!<\/p>\n

At Assisting Hands Broomfield, we help seniors stay on track with their medications.\u00a0 This helps prevent emergency hospital visits and promotes overall health.\u00a0 If you are concerned about a loved one, please get in touch for a free consultation.\u00a0 With the right support, they can maintain their independence and health.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
