Higher-Touch Services for Your Long-Term Residents
SNP Community Care is designed to provide a full range of pharmacy services to long-term, high-functioning residents in community and assisted living facilities. Going beyond our typical extensive support for patients in nursing homes and subacute care, our Community Care – Assisted Living program offers a higher level of personalized service and support for those who desire or require it. In addition to dispensing medication, our highly qualified staff provides clinical oversight, medication therapy management, and patient education. Our ultimate goal is to help your patients stay healthy, safe, and independent while maintaining the highest possible quality of life.
A Higher Level of Service
Why offer a Community Care focus? At SNP, our years of experience have shown us that assisted living and community care residents have a different set of needs than those who live in nursing homes or are staying in convalescent hospitals. Many long-term residents in assisted living facilities are on multiple medications and have the same complex health needs as those who live in nursing homes, but they often don’t have the same level of pharmacy support offered to patients requiring more direct care. They may also be less likely to have family members closely involved in their day-to-day care.
Our Community Care – Assisted Living program is designed to meet the unique needs of this population, providing them with the individualized attention and support they need to manage their medication regimen effectively.
UltraPax Medication Dispensing
One of the most powerful resources SNP offers community care residents is the automatic dispensing of medications via UltraPax, our multi-dose dispensing system. With UltraPax, the patient receives a week’s worth of their medications (both prescription and non-prescription) conveniently organized into easy-to-open pouches color-coordinated by the time of dose, so the patient knows exactly what to take and when. Refills are sent automatically to avoid dosage gaps through forgetfulness, and the resident also has 24/7 access to a knowledgeable pharmacist who can answer questions or resolve issues.
