Medication management to put your mind at ease

Taking medications as prescribed is a critical component of the daily lives of many seniors living with diseases and health conditions. The long list of medications they are given, along with new medications they are routinely prescribed, can become a real challenge for seniors to manage on their own.

Dementia Care

If they aren’t a safety risk to themselves or others, helping a senior family member with dementia stay in their home can be highly beneficial. The committed, highly qualified caregivers at OurCare can assist clients with Alzheimer’s or dementia in the comfort of their private residences. In addition to helping the patient feel safe and secure – reducing the likelihood of anxiety or confusion episodes – our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care services relieve the family’s responsibilities so they can stay refreshed.
