For adults with chronic illness, taking medication in a timely manner is an essential part of everyday living. As occupational therapists, we work with clients to maintain independence in their medication management, which includes everything from communicating with pharmacists, to reading prescription labels, to making a habit of taking the right medicine at the right time of day. We partner with clients, including those with low vision, limited coordination, and memory difficulties, to safely manage their medication. If you are having difficulty with medication management, talk to your occupational therapist about finding solutions to stay in charge of your health.
