Let Accudose Pharmacy help

Hospice Care
Compassionate Care When Every Moment Matters
Why Partner With Us?
- Rapid Response Delivery: We provide same-day delivery for new admissions and urgent “stat” medication changes to ensure comfort is never delayed.
- Custom Compounding: When traditional pills are difficult to swallow, we create customized formulations—such as topical gels, lollipops, or liquids—tailored to the patient’s needs.
- Simplified Billing: We offer transparent, consolidated billing for facilities and help families navigate insurance complexities during a difficult time.
- Comfort Kits: Pre-packaged “emergency kits” for immediate symptom relief at the bedside. These can be customized according to your specific needs.
- 24/7 Support: On-call pharmacists available around the clock for emergencies.
Supporting Families and Caregivers
- Direct-to-Door Delivery: Skip the pharmacy lines. We bring everything to your doorstep, on your schedule.
- Coordination: We work directly with your hospice nurses so you can focus on being a family member, not a coordinator.
- Auto-Refill Coordination: We track the medication levels and coordinate with the hospice nurse for refills so the family never has to “place an order.”
Improperly Taking Medications
-
More than 60% of patients do not take their medications correctly
-
Additionally, approximately 31% of all medications prescribed by their physician are never filled at the pharmacy
-
When patients are receiving multiple medications or have complex drug regimens, the likelihood of confusion increases leading to a patient taking too little or too much of a medication
-
It becomes very difficult for patients and their care-givers to adequately manage and sort their medications
Taking Medications Correctly
-
Our specialized medication packaging system sorts patient medications by time of day reducing the chances for medications to be taken incorrectly
-
Our team follows up with each patient to make sure they are taking their medication correctly and obtaining their refills on time
Transportation and Picking Up Medications
-
Many patients, especially geriatric patients, have difficulty in obtaining transportation to pick up their medication
-
More than 50% of low income patients have challenges in finding transportation
No More Trips To The Pharmacy
-
Patients will receive their medications via home delivery to eliminate any issues regarding transportation. Delivery is always free of charge.
- We will also deliver medications directly to care facilities
-
This ensures continuity of drug therapy
Lack of Understanding
-
More than 70% of patients do not have an adequate understanding of why and how to take their medications
-
This lack of understanding increases with the number of medications prescribed as well as patients get older or being treated for diseases like dementia
Better Understanding
-
Our pharmacists will call each patient to ensure that they are taking their medications appropriately.
-
We will also educate the patients about what to expect and any possible side effects
-
If a patient is having difficulty in understanding their medications during our conversation, we can inform their care-givers if they are in need of help.
