* Educating Residents and Families on Medication Use * Do you know what medications your loved one is on, and why? In aged care, understanding the medications residents are prescribed is essential for their safety and wellbeing. Medications, especially those used in managing behaviours that can occur with dementia or brain injuries, like antipsychotics, can have significant side effects that need to be carefully monitored. Residents and their families deserve to be fully informed about these medications, the potential risks, and the ongoing process of monitoring and review. Key things to know: • Antipsychotics can cause serious side effects, especially with long-term use. • Regular reviews and dose adjustments are essential to minimise risk. • Non-medication strategies should always be considered first. Families—if you’re unsure about your loved one’s medication plan, don’t hesitate to ask your doctor or pharmacists questions. #AgedCare #MedicationManagement #Education #Meditrax
