Memory loss is a common condition among seniors, but that does not make it any less dangerous. Seniors who live alone and suffer from memory loss continuously encounter many problems, especially with medication management.
This can lead to underdosing or overdosing on medicines resulting in feeling unwell and even trips to the emergency room. That is why medication management is a priority of every Home Health Agency in Van Nuys, California.
