With the support of an experienced nurse, you can be confident that your medication regimen is effective and well-organized.
Having a weekly nurse visit is not only about the process of filling a pill cassette. Because Privatus nurses are not simply task-focused, we start with an overall assessment of health status, cognition and any potential changes. We communicate as needed with the client’s physician, family representative, and other health care providers. We monitor adherence and recommend strategies to facilitate compliance. Once it is determined that the current plan is successful, prescriptions are reviewed and pill cassettes are filled.
A nurse visit for medication management provides peace of mind to the family to have a trusted relationship with ongoing clinical oversight. Visits can be scheduled weekly, monthly, or as often as requested in the settings below:
- Private home or apartment
- Assisted Living Community
- Independent Living Community
Those that could benefit from assistance in the home are often resistant to accepting services. Hiring a nurse for medication management can often be the first step to building a trusting relationship and utilizing the resources of private care.
