When More Help Is Needed
Many families decide that managing medicines without professional help isn’t safe or
sustainable. Perhaps your mom has dementia and struggles to remember her medications.
Maybe your dad lives miles away, and you can’t be there every day to help. Older adults take
prescription medications more than any other demographic. Remembering to take the
medication in the first place can be a challenge, so if you’re taking multiple medications several
times a day, it can be overwhelming. Medication management plays a vital part in managing a
health condition. Missed doses or improper use can be very harmful. Our staff is trained to aid
your loved ones, that person is depending on you to ensure that they take the medications they
need to take when they’re supposed to take them. Here at O.S.J. Family place were encourage
our residents to use a pill organizer to take their medication. Though it’s a common solution,
many people begin medical regimens without thinking they’ll need a pillbox. These boxes are
usually marked daily (M for Monday, T for Tuesday, etc.) and have seven compartments for
seven days a week. Some may have 30 to 31 compartments to cover an entire month. One way
to manage medications and ensure you don’t run out unexpectedly is to plan several days or
weeks. Pillboxes are an excellent way to both keep your medications organized and remind you
of when it may be time to refill prescriptions.
