Medication Adherence Care

The American Heart Association states that the #1 problem in treating illness today is the patient’s failure to take medication correctly.

For seniors with chronic conditions, medication adherence is of critical importance. It is reported that 50% of seniors fail to take their medications as prescribed. Failing to take medications at the prescribed times, or skipping doses, reduces the effectiveness of the medications and in some cases, may render them completely ineffective. Non-adherence often results in falls, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and other detrimental conditions.

Medication mismanagement (or non-adherence) is one of the leading reasons for hospital admissions of seniors and one of the primary reasons that seniors transition from their homes into assisted living or long-term care facilities.
