The Gold Standard in Assisted Living Pharmaceutical Care
People of all ages rely on medication to get through the day. But that medication tends to become even more important as we age. Residents of assisted living facilities, in particular, need medicines to alleviate pain, reduce symptoms, and live life comfortably. At West TN Pharmaceutical Care, we’re proud to help assisted living facilities make taking medication easier for their residents. As a closed-door pharmacy that specifically serves agencies and facilities, we have a strong understanding of your needs. Our pharmaceutical healthcare professionals are here to make medication adherence much more streamlined as you work to care for multiple residents. Learn more about our mission, team, and services.
Serving Patients With Medication Adherence Programs
At West TN Pharmaceutical Care, we’re committed to breaking down barriers to medication adherence. Our programs are designed to help patients take their meds without the hassle or worry of taking the wrong dose. We offer a medication blister card packaging service, as well as a medication synchronization program to ensure your patients have no problems taking their medicine as directed. Talk to our team about synchronizing medication refills so you can pick them up all at once instead of taking multiple trips! While medication adherence comes down to the patients and their caregivers, assisted living staff plays a major role in making medication accessible. Here are some facts about the importance of medication adherence:
- The American Heart Association attributes 125,000 American deaths each year to medication non-adherence
- Non-adherence costs the healthcare system $300 billion each year in preventable hospitalizations
- Non-adherence leads to more severe, often avoidable health problems for patients
- Implementing strategies for medication adherence is much easier (and safer) than dealing with high levels of non-adherence
Proud to Offer These Services
Our goal is to make medication access simple, even for people living with disabilities. To that end, we offer a range of services to assisted living facilities in Jackson, TN and the surrounding areas. Our clients take advantage of all of the following:
- Pharmacy Services: At our core, we’re a primary care pharmacy providing all your prescription needs. We offer over-the-counter medications, refills, and a slew of health supplies and first aid items.
- Medication Adherence: The more medications a person takes, the easier it is to get confused or accidentally skip a dose. Our medication adherence programs aim to take the stress out of an extensive medication schedule and minimize barriers to adherence.
- Medication Blister Card Packaging: Plain packaging can make it difficult to tell two prescriptions apart. At West TN Pharmaceutical Care, we offer color-coded packaging solutions on the calendar days of the month. Plus, our packaging comes with bar codes so items can be easily scanned in at the pharmacy.
- Facility/Agency Delivery: Sometimes, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to make it to the pharmacy. We offer free, prompt delivery to assisted and supported living facilities in the area, so you don’t have to worry about lapses in your med sync program. Let us know which delivery dates work best for you.
- Electronic Medication Administration Records (eMAR): eMAR allows us to streamline our operations and promote the most efficient client care possible.
