Long Term Care Pharmacy
Improving patient care for LTC residents through faster service, friendlier faces, and better care.
We offer pharmacy services designed to assist your staff and improve the health of your residents. At MediCenter Pharmacy, we are aware that medication non-adherence is a growing concern. In fact, nearly 1.6 billion of the 3.2 billion prescriptions dispensed in the U.S. each year are not taken as prescribed. It is believed that 25% pf hospitalizations in the U.S. are due to non-adherence.
Medication adherence is imperative to achieve optimal health outcomes—especially for patients in long term care facilities. Medication management is the first step. Together, we can improve medication adherence and decrease the risk of hospitalizations and deaths due to noncompliance.
