Plymouth Terrace Discusses Medication Management Tools for Older Adults

PLYMOUTH, Mich. - Oct. 2, 2023 - PRLog -- As we age, many of us find that managing medications is an essential part of our daily routine. Often if a senior person is not able to manage their medications, it could put their life at risk and limit their ability to live independently. Luckily the experts at Plymouth Terrace have four easy ways to help seniors manage medications:

1.     Pill organizers: These are an essential tools for anyone managing multiple medications. You can find an organizer that works with your schedule, or use several simple organizers if medications need to be taken at different times throughout the day.

2.     Everything in its place: over time, supplements and medications may have taken up residence in different places throughout a home. Get everything into one convenient place so refilling organizers is fast and easy.

3.     Use the phone: if the senior has and uses a smartphone, you can easily set up an app to help them remember to take their meds. For someone who is less technically inclined, you can help manage meds by making a phone call or two throughout the day.

4.     Make a list: write out simple instructions in large print to put up in the same place where medications are stored. Make the list more usable by using a color-coding system with colored dots on the meds and the list! Keep extra copies of the list for family and doctor visits.
