Medication Dispensing Service.

Reduce the risk of medication errors.

If you value your health and independence, you know it's important to take medications exactly as your doctor prescribed. Yet improper medication management and falls can get in the way of independent living, creating stress for you and your loved ones.

With the complexity of medications many seniors take, it's no surprise: 1 in 10 hospital admissions for seniors are a result of medication errors.* Companion Lifeline now offers a simple, proven Medication Dispensing Service that can help.

Sound easy? It is—and it's effective. Companion Medication Dispensing Service has been proven to deliver a 98.6% in-home dispensing adherence level among monitored subscribers.

Medication Errors are Common and Costly.

Seniors rely on their medications to keep them healthy, but complex medication schedules can lead to mistakes: missing doses, taking incorrect amounts, or taking medicines at the wrong times. These mistakes could lead to unnecessary doctor or hospital visits, illness and even death.

  1. For seniors, approximately 1 out of 10 hospital admissions are the result of the incorrect use of medications.*
  2. Not taking medications correctly can have serious consequences, including increased discomfort, inadequate disease prevention and possibly even death.**

The Lifeline Medication Dispensing Service can help. The only service with a 98.6% dispensing adherence, among monitored subscribers.***
