Take Our Self-Assessment

Use this self-assessment as a guide to determine if a medication management service is right for you or your loved one:

1. Are you taking three or more medications each day?
2. Do you take medicine two or more times per day?
3. In the past month, have you missed medications because you forgot to take them?
4. Do you have a chronic condition or disease such as heart disease, COPD, osteoporosis, diabetes, or cancer?
5. Do you require assistance with daily activities such as taking medication, bathing, dressing or cooking?
6. Would a highly reliable service for dispensing medications accurately and on time provide peace of mind for you or your loved ones?
7. Is it important for you to continue living independently in your current home?
8. Do you have concerns about complications that could lead to hospitalizations if you don't take your medicine correctly?
9. Are your daily activities restricted by your medication regimen?

6-9 "Yes" Answers
This high score indicates that you may be at serious risk for medication mistakes and resulting complications.

3-5 "Yes" Answers
You could be at some risk for medication mistakes and resulting complications.

1-2 "Yes" Answers
Ask yourself two important questions:

1. If I don't take my medication correctly, am I at risk for further complications.
2. If I don't take my medication correctly, am I at risk of having to leave my home so that someone can help me take them?

If the answer is "yes" to any of these questions, it might be a good idea to discuss an automated medication management service with your family and healthcare provider.
