In the new partnership, a 30-day supply of current medications will be filled by Somers Pharmacy, and sent home upon discharge. Residents can then get renewals through the pharmacy of choice after the initial 30 day supply.
This partnerships represents an effort to identify and address problems in the filling process such as co-payments needed, medications not covered by insurance and other issues prior to discharge. The residents can then be compliant with their prescribed medication regime and their condition controlled once they return to the community.
“This program represents Somers Manor’s continuing efforts to deliver quality of care. We are, indeed, proud to partner with Somers Pharmacy to ensure resident wellness and peace of mind,” said Barbara Polowczyk, Director of Nursing at Somers Manor.
