Solving medication non-adherence for elderly patients living alone
Up to 50% of elderly patients fail to take medications as prescribed across conditions.
Cognitive Decline • Patients with cognitive impairment or early dementia can have adherence rates as low as ~10-38% without support. Confusing Medication • Older adults commonly take 6-8 medications or more, increasing confusion and errors. Caregiver Burden • Family caregivers often report significant stress related to medication management and worry about missed or incorrect doses, especially in the context of cognitive decline.
