Navigating Care
Choosing the right care setting for an aging loved one is a major decision, and medication management is a critical piece of their overall safety and well-being. Whether you’re exploring assisted living, memory care, or another type of long-term care community, understanding how medications are handled can help you make an informed choice.
Many families don’t realize that medication errors are a leading cause of emergency room visits for older adults. The right pharmacy plays a vital role in ensuring these seniors receive their medications safely, accurately, and on time—helping to reduce risks and support their overall health.
If you’re considering assisted living, it’s important to understand how pharmacy services within the community work. While residents often have the option to choose their own pharmacy, most assisted living communities partner with a preferred pharmacy services provider for a reason. These pharmacies specialize in long-term care, ensuring medications are managed safely and seamlessly. Asking about the community’s pharmacy provider and how they support residents can help you make the best choice for your loved one’s well-being.
For families navigating skilled nursing, rehabilitation or another type of long-term care setting, Guardian Pharmacy works closely with care providers to ensure seamless medication management and a higher level of support for residents with complex needs. Our teams partner with staff to enhance safety, improve medication adherence, and reduce burdens on caregivers.
