Medication management helps seniors who take prescribed medications maintain an appropriate medication routine, particularly when memory difficulties or other circumstances make it challenging to remember doses independently. The service is relevant for residents who may be at risk of missed doses, taking medication incorrectly, or taking more than prescribed without supervision. For seniors receiving residential care in DeKalb County, medication-related support can be incorporated into their ongoing daily assistance.

- Support with regularly taking prescribed medications
- Assistance in following established medication schedules
