What's the purpose

Our "Pills Advocate" is a vital component of our Health Program designed to ensure seniors receive appropriate and safe medication management. The initiative focuses on preventing the risks of overmedication and under-medication among seniors, whether they reside in their own homes or in nursing care facilities. We aim to optimize their health and wellbeing by making sure each senior has access to personalized, accurate medication oversight.

Medication Management Support

Every pill managed means a step closer to safer, healthier lives for our seniors.

Understanding the complexity of managing multiple medications, "Pills Advocate" provides essential support to seniors and their caregivers. Our services ensure that medication regimens are not only necessary but also administered in the right doses, reducing the risks and maximizing the benefits.

How it works

  • Step 1: Register with our "Pills Advocate" program either online or over the phone.
  • Step 2: We perform a thorough review of your current medications with the help of healthcare professionals.
  • Step 3: Receive a personalized medication plan that aligns with your health needs.
  • Step 4: Ongoing monitoring and adjustment of your medication plan as your health needs evolve.

For those interested in joining our "Pills Advocate" program, here’s what you’ll need:

  • Health Records: Access to your current health and medication records.
  • Consultation: Availability for initial and follow-up consultations either in person or via telehealth.
  • Support System: Engagement with family members or caregivers to support the implementation of the medication plan.

Why it's important

In our "Pills Advocate" program, managing medication effectively is crucial for the health and safety of seniors. Mismanagement can lead to serious health complications, including adverse drug reactions and hospitalizations. Studies show that proper medication management can significantly improve the quality of life and health outcomes in seniors.

By ensuring that seniors take only the medications they need and in the correct doses, we not only safeguard their health but also enhance their independence and dignity. This program serves as a protective shield against the common problem of polypharmacy (taking multiple medications unnecessarily), which affects a large number of elderly individuals.

Who really benefits

Ideal for seniors managing multiple medications, those experiencing health transitions, or individuals under multiple doctor’s care. We make medication management simpler and safer.

"Pills Advocate" is especially beneficial for seniors with complex health issues, those who have recently undergone treatment changes, or those seeing multiple healthcare providers. By streamlining their medication processes, we help ensure they are getting the most benefit from their prescribed treatments without the risks that come from medication errors.

Join us as we enhance the health and wellbeing of seniors through dedicated medication management. Our commitment to careful, compassionate medication oversight makes a real difference in the lives of the elderly.

Registration

Our "Pills Advocate" program will open mid-June 2024. In the meantime, please explore our other Health Programs.
