One of our main objectives is to make our clients feel safe and protected. Taking their medications properly is vital to their health and it is important for them to know someone is taking care of that diligently. Due to old age and often accompanying forgetfulness and dementia, the elderly are at a risk of forgetting to take important medicines prescribed by their doctor or they might take the wrong dosage, which may result in side-effects that can range from mildly unpleasant to severe. That is why caregivers play an important role in assisting your loved one with taking medications.
Bearing in mind that most medications are to be taken daily, some even several times a day, a caregiver is often asked to accompany a senior to trips out of town, so that they can make sure all the medications have been packed and taken regularly. Some medications involve special dietary requirements, so the caregiver will make sure meal preparation is in accordance with the requirements. Your elderly loved one should be as mobile as they wish to be, without fear their health will be jeopardized.
