Fewer surprises. Fewer side effects. A regimen that actually makes sense.
When several specialists each prescribe independently, medication lists grow quickly — and quietly become risky. As your nurse, I review the full picture, flag concerns, and bring everything into one clear, current plan.
I build a single, accurate medication list from every source — pharmacy, EHR, pill bottles, and you. I look for duplicates, interactions, doses that no longer fit, and medications that may have outlived their original purpose. Then I bring the questions back to your prescribers so the regimen is intentional, not accidental.
Why this matters most in older adults
Adverse drug events are a leading cause of avoidable hospitalizations in older adults. A regular nurse-led review is one of the highest-yield safety steps a family can take.

Common Questions
Questions families often search for
A medication review is a careful, clinical look at every prescription, over-the-counter product, and supplement a person is taking — together, in one picture. It catches problems that no single prescriber is positioned to see.
Use one pharmacy whenever possible, maintain one printed, current medication list, set up a weekly pillbox, and ask for a full medication review at least once a year — more often after any hospitalization or major change.
Yes, with proper authorization. I routinely coordinate medication questions across primary care, specialists, and pharmacy on behalf of clients in Marin County and Petaluma.
