Challenges in Medication Adherence for Long-Term Care Pharmacies:

• Complex Medication Regimens: Medication adherence is often hindered by complex regimens, particularly for seniors with multiple prescriptions, leading to difficulties in managing medication adherence.
• Adherence Challenges: Residents, especially those with cognitive impairments, may refuse medications or struggle to follow treatment plans effectively, exacerbating medication nonadherence issues.
• Patient and Family Education: Lack of understanding about medication regimens can lead to costly errors, with annual losses exceeding $1 million. Effective patient education is crucial for improving medication adherence.
• Coordination with Facility Staff: Miscommunication or incomplete patient information can result in discrepancies during medication administration, highlighting the need for seamless coordination with healthcare staff to ensure accurate medication management.
