Making memories matter: the pharmacist's role in memory care.

Memory loss is a great concern for many seniors, and when it leads to problems handling activities of daily living, it often results in a move to a long-term care setting. While some memory loss is common in the elderly, more serious memory problems can be a sign of Alzheimer's disease, other dementia, or another illnesses or physical impairment. Addressing dementia and memory loss takes a team approach in long-term care, and the pharmacist plays a key role. He or she needs to understand the benefits of nondrug interventions as well as medications in addressing memory loss. And the pharmacist needs to be a compassionate source of information and support for the patient and family members.
