Current State of Assisted Living Facilities
Medication non-adherence is acutely observed in assisted living facilities where one-quarter of residents take 9 or more medications, which is much higher than any nursing home residents.
• Residents with multiple drug prescriptions (5+ medications per day) are at double the risk of having an adverse medical problem due to poor medication adherence
• Approximately 86% of Assisted Living residents need assistance with medication management
• However, studies have revealed that even deploying nurses to deliver medication results in a staggering error rate of 42%.
• 7% of these errors had the potential to cause moderate to high harm to the patient.
Poor Adherence Prevents Patients Aging in Place
The capability to remain independent at home or in an assisted living facility largely depends on the ability to manage medication regimes.
Non-adherence to medication regimes is a major cause of nursing home placement in older adults.
Consequences of Medication Mismanagement
Residents who miss medications are much more likely to develop complications, require frequent ED visits and hospital admission. Residents can also suffer from dosing error, such as accidently taking extra doses which can lead to side effects and complications, such as collapsing, nausea and vomiting.
Poor Adherence leads to Increase in Healthcare Costs
It is estimated that poor adherence is responsible for 125,000 preventable deaths in the USA and 200,000 deaths in the EU.
Poor adherence is responsible for 10% of hospitalizations in older adults, contributing to three extra medical visits annually per older individual.
