About this listen
In this eye-opening episode, Gina and Don explore the complicated world of medication management for seniors. As we age, prescriptions pile up, schedules get confusing, and the risks of missed doses or dangerous interactions increase. Gina, with her background as an Occupational Therapist, shares practical tips on how to create routines, track meds, and communicate with doctors. Don brings the emotional side into focus—how stress, memory, and even resistance can play a role in medication mishaps. Together, they shed light on why managing meds is more than just popping pills—it's a vital part of senior health and caregiving.
Whether you're a caregiver, adult child, or aging adult yourself, this conversation will help you navigate the maze of medication with more clarity and confidence.
