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 assistants 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
