Choosing which Assisted Living Facility or Group Home is best for you can be a challenge. Kohll’s has determined some differences we believe are important:
- Does the facility offer multi-dose packaging over single dose packaging that provides the following benefits:
- Allows giving meds to residents more quickly, so facility staff can spend more time providing other beneficial care to the resident
- Less likely to miss giving a medication. Example: if a resident takes 6 medications in the AM, the facility staff doesn’t make the mistake of just giving 5 medications if all 6 are packaged together.
- More accurate charting that they gave resident all 6 medications
- Less likely to drop pills on the floor, since meds are packaged together and they don’t have to take one pill out at a time and place in a medication cup. Dropped pills cause added expense to residents.
- If a resident goes away from the facility for an outing with the family and medications need to go with the family, it’s easier for the family to give the medications since they are already packaged together for a specific time of day they are away from the facility.
- Excellent communication with the health care team since Kohll’s pharmacy is the medication provider for the residents.
- Excellent accessibility to medical aids, equipment and supplies since the facility works directly with Kohll’s. This ultimately helps sustain independence for the best quality of life.
