Long-Term Care Homes

Caring for patients in long-term care homes is a unique healthcare service. These patients often have more than one medical condition, requiring a more complex level of medication management. Our team of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians play a significant role in the provision of safe and effective medication therapy. Our ultimate goal is to help maintain the quality of life of the long-term care resident.

Pharmacy practice in long-term care homes is broad-based, including a wide variety of services. Some examples of these services provided at The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in the Fredericton Co-Op include:

 
Compliance packaging
 
Monthly MAR sheets
 
Medication Reviews
 
Recommendations to both staff and physicians to promote optimal drug therapy
 
Monitoring patient outcomes
 
Identifying and resolving drug interactions
