Take Your Medications as Prescribed!

take-your-medications-as-prescribed

Strict medication adherence is strongly recommended by health care experts. Simply put, non-adherence can lead to the worsening of an illness, hospitalization, or death. As an assisted living facility in Surprise, Arizona, VIP Assisted Living LLC sees to it to monitor and administer medications to our residents as directed by their doctors.

However, if you are caring for a loved one on your own, you can seek help from a respite care provider. Otherwise, keep these tips in mind:

  • Take Your Meds from a Single Pharmacy

    This makes refilling the prescriptions much easier. Furthermore, the pharmacy can also better look into potential drug interactions as well as provide medication consultations as needed.

  • Organize Prescription Refills

    In relation to the first tip, you can make refills less of a hassle. Perhaps, you can sign up for an auto-refill system at your pharmacy. Talk to your pharmacist to learn about your options.

  • Make Use of Tools

    You may start by setting an alarm. Also, get yourself to know of other methods, such as reminder sheets, pillboxes, or a digital app.

  • Coordinate with Your Doctor

    Your physician might recommend a simpler approach tailored to your loved one’s needs. So, be sure to see your doctor regularly.

If all else fails, our compassionate care team can extend our help! Our lovely home has been extensively modified to provide the best possible senior living in Arizona. Reach us at your convenience for more details!
