We have amazing team members who consistently go above and beyond to help our residents.

Seasons partners with CareRx to ensure medication service to our residents is accurate, effective and safe. Here is how having medication administered by Seasons staff and monitored by our pharmacy partner, CareRx, is convenient and can be beneficial to your health:

1 | When medications are managed by Seasons staff, all faxes, daily deliveries, changes in doctor’s orders, etc., are coordinated through the Seasons Wellness Centre for your convenience and at no additional charge. This is especially beneficial when you see multiple doctors for different health reasons. In contrast, some external pharmacies charge for delivery and sometimes, the delivery is limited. 2 | When the Seasons Health & Wellness team assists with medication administration, it is given at the correct time and dosage. This contributes to fewer drug interactions with other medications or supplements. 3 | Annually or as needed, residents can meet with a Certified Geriatric Pharmacist from CareRx to review their medications, ask questions and discuss the benefits of different dispensing options, such as blister packs.

4 | The Seasons Health & Wellness team can oversee the effectiveness of medications or the need to change medications. By monitoring general health concerns, such as blood pressure, blood glucose or pain levels, we can alert your doctor of a need for change. 5 | For residents who choose to administer their medications, CareRx can have their prescriptions delivered to their Seasons home by CareRx. This removes the unnecessary need for residents to leave home and disrupt their day for medication pick-ups. 6 | A complete profile (Administration Medication Record) from the pharmacy is readily available to the home and the resident to help record medication history for peace of mind. For more information, please speak to the Seasons Health & Wellness Manager.

“Building a connection with our residents is incredibly important to me. We also have amazing team members who consistently go above and beyond to help our residents. I’ve seen staff come to work on weekends to help residents with a puzzle project, door decorating, pet therapy visits, or enjoy musical entertainment, even before their shift begins!” – Jenn, Seasons Amherstburg

“Growing up, I spent a lot of time at my Grandparent's farm. My desire to support seniors came from my relationship with my Nana. I am always encouraged by the couples in our retirement homes and their examples of caring for one another. My job allows me to serve others and share my talents. I love seeing smiling faces and joy in our residents' eyes.” – Pamela, Seasons Lethbridge Gardens “I call this my other home; I don't feel like I'm coming to work. What I love at Seasons is the interaction and connection with the residents. We don't just know them, but we know their loved ones. And all staff becomes a part of their extended families.” – Stephanie, Seasons Royal Oak Village
