Medication Management & Medical Appointments Part 2
Medication Management & Medical Appointments Part 2, presented by Catherine McDermott, PMHNP, is part of the Town Square University Parkway caregiver education series designed to help families confidently navigate the challenges of caring for a loved one living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or cognitive decline.
This educational session provides practical strategies for preparing for medical appointments, tracking symptoms and behavioral changes, communicating effectively with healthcare providers, and advocating for the best possible care.
Caregivers also learn how to create safe medication routines, recognize potential side effects and drug interactions, and coordinate care between multiple physicians and specialists.
The presentation emphasizes the importance of reducing stress for both caregivers and individuals living with memory loss by improving organization, simplifying medical information, and developing effective communication techniques during appointments. Families are encouraged to build a strong healthcare team and seek support before caregiver burnout occurs.
At Town Square University Parkway, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for supporting families affected by dementia. Through our medical-model adult day center, caregiver support groups, respite care services, memory care programs, free educational classes, and community resources, we help older adults remain engaged while giving caregivers the knowledge and support they need to thrive.
Whether you are newly navigating a dementia diagnosis or caring for a loved one with advancing cognitive changes, our goal is to provide hope, guidance, and practical solutions every step of the way.
If you are caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, or cognitive decline, Town Square University Parkway is here to support you.
