How Our Medication Reminders Help Seniors in Wayne, NJ and Nearby Areas
There are many reasons medication reminders are essential for seniors in Passaic and Bergen Counties. For starters, seniors are often taking multiple medications at one time in order to manage health issues. In fact, studies have found that 42 percent of adults age 65 and older are taking more than five medications a day. However, keeping track of these medications can be tedious. It can be stressful for seniors to remember what medications to take and when, especially if they're living with a memory-related condition that makes them prone to forgetting when it's time to take their medications. However, by hiring a professional caregiver to help your loved one remember to take their medications properly, they can have a much easier time managing their health.
If your loved one needs someone to help them take their medications properly, count on Visiting Angels of Wayne. For many years we've been providing personalized, one-on-one home care to seniors throughout Passaic and Bergen Counties so they can have the support they need to live out their golden years at home. Our caregivers can provide reliable reminders so your loved one takes their medications at the proper time and the correct dosage.
Our caregivers can help by:
- Giving a verbal reminder that it is time to take medication;
- Setting a timer so that your loved one knows when it is time to take medications;
- Making sure instructions for medications are followed, such as taking them with food or a full glass of water;
- Tracking the dates and times that each medication was taken, so that family members know that it was done;
- Monitoring for any side effects or symptoms when new medications are introduced;
- Watching seniors take their medication to make sure it is done successfully
In most cases, taking medications correctly and consistently is essential to the medicine's effectiveness. For example, forgetting to take blood pressure medication can seriously affect their health. Thankfully, seniors who receive medication reminders from Visiting Angels of Wayne will always have someone there to ensure they're not forgetting their medications, so families can have complete peace of mind.
