The medication management program consists of home visits by pharmacists. In a home visit, your medications are reviewed, outdated and unneeded medications are removed, aid options (e.g. blister packs) are introduced as needed, and recommendations are given to you and your family physician.

Seniors taking more than six medications, at risk of drug interaction, with kidney or liver failure, or with dementia or confusion are typically referred to the program. In addition, pharmacists involved in home visits are automatically alerted of individuals over the age of 65 who have been recently discharged from the hospital and who are taking six or more medications.

Eligibility
Appropriate for seniors at risk of medication misadventures, including those recently discharged from hospital taking six or more regular medications. Nursing home clients are excluded from this service. For ages 65 and older, residing in Langley
