Insufficient medication literacy - the ability to obtain, process and use information about medicines - may be one reason that some older adults struggle with taking their drugs.

Taking the right medicine in the right way and at the right time can definitely be challenging, as is managing multiple drugs for yourself or a loved one. This discussion will explore what medication literacy is, how different levels of literacy can impact the ability to make sound medication decisions, and ways to improve your medication literacy. This event is part of a series for caregivers offered by AARP Massachusetts.
