This video is part of a series, Supporting Family Caregivers in the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System, published in collaboration with the AARP Public Policy Institute as part of the ongoing Supporting Family Caregivers: No Longer Home Alone series.
This video shows family caregivers the importance of being aware of the medications that the person they care for is taking, especially high-risk medications. It includes communicating with the medical team about any negative medication side effects they notice in the older adult they care for; how to make sure the person’s medication list is accurate and updated, and managing medications at home.
