The Center for Advancing Health has published an article exploring strategies for people with chronic illnesses to deal with the large number of medications they take:

“As complicated as it can be, taking your medications correctly really matters. Taking medications incorrectly can threaten your very ability to live independently. ‘Medication non-adherence contributes … to 23 percent of all nursing home admissions,’ the [Center for Technology and Aging] report says.”

 The article includes tips and links to online tools like MyMedSchedule that help make it easier to manage multiple medications. Read the article.
