Medication management poses a significant problem in senior living communities across the country. Improper supervision and administration can lead to errors and overuse, which may negatively impact one’s life and health.

We’ve developed a Medication Management program with Consonus Health to give each resident access to a thoroughly and regularly reviewed medication plan that helps us avoid errors. When our residents have detailed medication plans, we can better help them live comfortably, happily, and healthily.

To give our residents ongoing comprehensive care, we at Lifespark developed our Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program. MTM gives our residents full access to specially trained pharmacists and informative services to improve their overall quality of life.

Proper pharmacist care can reduce drug expenditures, hospital admissions, lengths of hospital stays, and emergency department visits. Our MTM program is an excellent option for residents who leave our community to continue face-to-face meetings with their pharmacists in their homes.

For residents with terminal illnesses and conditions, hospice care is an option to ensure they remain as comfortable as possible. Chaska Heights focuses on providing superior quality of life and unparalleled care for residents during the end stages of life.

We partner with hospice agencies across the country and follow their guidelines to ensure all hospice residents receive the care they need. Above all else, our residents’ comfort and safety is our number one priority.

For our residents with cognitive impairments, the stability and familiarity of routine are crucial for maintaining a sense of normalcy. The 8-8 program gives residents a structured daily routine without ever sacrificing an engaging and enjoyable lifestyle.

We design thoughtful daily activities so residents remain safe and in control, which has shown to positively affect state of mind, security, and sleep patterns.
