MedMinders
MedMinders is beneficial for individuals who have trouble remembering to take their medications, are confused by the number of medications they require, or whose physical limitations (such as reduced vision) make it difficult to take medications properly. With this service, a VNP registered nurse assesses the customer's general condition; sorts medications in an easy-to-use dosage box; makes weekly visits to re-check the medications and sort them if necessary; and stays in contact with the customer's family, pharmacist and physician as needed.

Medication set-up and management is provided on a complimentary basis to customers receiving VNP services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
