Medication Management at Extended-Term Care Facilities

The Bedard Senior Care program is centered around providing your facility with the resources it needs to correctly distribute medication to residents and patients. Core elements of our program include:

• 24/7 On-Call Emergency Service – Our long-term care pharmacy is available 24/7, 365 days a year, to ensure your patients have what they need when they need it.
• Emergency Medication Kit – Our long-term care pharmacy provides a medication box located at your facility that is stocked with commonly prescribed medications. This convenient service allows the patients to get what they need without delay.
• Consulting Pharmacists – With an ever-changing industry, we keep facility staff up to date with state and federal regulations. We inspect med carts for expired meds, check patient charts for medication interactions and send recommendations to doctors for alternate therapy treatments.
• Cycle Fill – This program synchronizes all routine medications for a facility, alleviating the burden of ordering medications. Cycle Fill can be tailored to the needs of a facility, ranging from 14 - 28 days.
• Advanced Medical Software – Our pharmacists use state of the art, advanced software, to ensure that accurate and organized records are kept. We use web-based portals that provide the convenience of an online ordering system, with streamlined access to patient profiles, and custom Medication Administration Records (MAR). 
• Free Delivery – Our extensive delivery network, which includes a fleet of more than ten vehicles and sixteen courteous drivers, ensures your facility gets all of your medications when you need them. 
• Drug Take-Back and Medication Destruction – Any non-controlled and controlled medications can be sent back to the pharmacy with our drivers. These services help to minimize storing unused or expired medications and keep facilities in compliance.
• Electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR) – We are integrated with many eMar software systems, making working with our pharmacy a seamless experience.
