LTC Scripts can be a vital resource for both patients and their caregivers, thereby improving quality of life. A comprehensive understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, and stages of Alzeihmers Disease, Dementia and other memory related diseases, as well as pharmacologic therapy, is imperative to provide effective care to the patient. We can assist these patients with through monitoring drug regimens for potential drug interactions as well as possible contraindications. More importantly we are empathic towards these patients and their caregivers, keeping them informed about new developments in the fight against these conditions and suggesting resources of information for them.
Caring for a patient with memory related diseases involves more than drug treatment. We assist caregivers in joining local support groups and to take care of themselves and seek assistance when warranted.
