Medication Management

Medication management is done under the supervision of a resident’s primary care provider and our trained medication care staff.

At the Samuel F. Vilas Home, we know how important proper medication management is, especially with aging adults. We often hear from families that this is one of the most important and valued services we offer. This is especially true for family members with memory loss and dementia for whom it can be difficult to take medications as prescribed. When you choose the Vilas Home, you will never need to worry about your loved one receiving their medications each day at the scheduled time and dose.

We work with OmniCare Pharmacy out of Ballston Spa, NY. They deliver the medications right to the Vilas Home in Plattsburgh for all of the residents so families do not need to worry about supplying medications. OmniCare works will all types of insurances and they strive to put a family’s worries at ease.

Trained Staff

We have properly trained staff that help manage the medications for all our residents. Our med techs do their medication passes at 8:00am, 12:00pm, 4:00pm, and 8:00pm daily. Every medication that is prescribed is handled with care and given without fail. 

Compliance

All medication management is done under the supervision of the resident’s primary care provider. The list of medications the resident receives on a daily basis is constantly audited to make sure they are receiving the proper dosages at the proper times. We cannot administer any medications that are not signed off for by a medical professional. Each resident's case manager will ensure that medications are working properly. Doctor visits are done regularly to ensure that medications are working, and transportation can be arranged for residents to ensure any necessary appointments are not missed.

Medication Administration

As a licensed assisted living community, we are also able to administer prescriptions for our residents under our enhanced license. 

Common medications that can be administered to residents under our enhanced license include:

  • Insulin
  • Eye Drops
  • B-12 shots

If you or your loved one is having difficulty living alone and needs help with daily tasks such as medication management, the Vilas Home may be an option. Contact us to discuss your individual needs or to schedule a tour of our facility.
