Empower: Helping Older Adults Use Medication Safely

Description

Many older adults take multiple medications on a regular basis. It is critically important to understand how to use these commonly prescribed medications safely in order to avoid unintentional misuse. This workshop provides senior care workers, adult children with aging parents, and older adults themselves with information to help identify signs of medication misuse, recognize how medications and alcohol interact, and gather tips for using prescribed medications safely and effectively.
