Administering Medication

Medication management is an essential part of providing quality care to seniors. It involves keeping track of the medications they are taking, ensuring that they take them as prescribed by their doctor, following up with the prescribing doctor if any changes need to be made to the medication regimen, and monitoring for side effects or interactions with other medications. 

These tasks may seem straightforward, but they can be complicated and time-consuming. That’s why Open Heaven Elderly Care offers comprehensive medication administration services that reduce the stress of managing medications for seniors.

Administering medication is one of the most important tasks that caregivers must undertake. Medication management is critical for ensuring that elderly people are taking their medications as prescribed. This includes providing the medicines and following up with them to ensure they take them on time and in the correct doses.

In addition to administering medications, caregivers should be aware of potential side effects or interactions between medications. It’s important to keep track of any changes in medication dosage or frequency and watch out for any signs of adverse reactions.
