Medication management plays an important role in supporting the health and well-being of a person living with dementia. As memory changes progress, remembering when and how to take medications can become more difficult, increasing the risk of missed doses, medication errors, or unintended interactions.

This session explores the challenges associated with medication adherence and provides practical strategies for organizing medications, simplifying complex medication regimens, and making use of available supports and community resources. You'll also learn about common barriers to medication management, the importance of maintaining an accurate medication list, and ways to work collaboratively with healthcare professionals to ensure medications remain safe, appropriate, and effective.

With the right tools and planning, medication routines can become more manageable, helping to support both the person living with dementia and the care partner.
