1. TRILLIUM HOMECARE:
WHY MEDICATION
MONITORING IS
IMPORTANT FOR
SENIORS
By Trillium HomeCare

2. Introduction
 Many seniors enjoy living independently in
their own house by employing services like
Trillium HomeCare. But one factor critical to
the success of a home care arrangement is
proper management of medication.

3. Statistics
 An estimated 90% of Medicare recipients take
prescription drugs, and it is not uncommon for
seniors to need a regimen of six or eight
medications. For those dealing with the effects
of aging, keeping this medication organized
can be a challenge. In fact, medication non-
adherence is blamed for nearly 30% of
hospital admissions for people over age 65.

4. Conclusion
 That's why home care providers help seniors
put together systems that minimize the risk of
non-adherence. For example, at Trillium
HomeCare, clients can use a personal system
that dispenses the medication and
supplements they need at the right time.
It's a simple, low-cost fix for a problem that can
otherwise be very expensive; 40% of seniors
who enter a nursing home do so because they
cannot self-medicate.
