Select LTC Pharmacy Strengthens Care with New Service Expansion in Southern California

Select LTC Pharmacy, a leading figure in the Long Term Care Pharmacy sector in Southern California, has recently announced the extension of its specialized pharmacy services to Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) across the region. This strategic move is designed to enhance access to safe, reliable, and high-quality medication support for residents and their families in the face of a rapidly changing demographic landscape.

The Growing Challenge in Senior Care

As the number of older Americans continues to rise dramatically, the challenge of providing adequate senior care becomes increasingly pressing. Official projections indicate that the number of individuals aged 65 and older is set to rise from 58 million (accounting for 17% of the population) in 2022 to a staggering 73 million (21%) by 2030, eventually reaching 82 million by 2050. The age group of 85 and above, who are most likely to require assisted living services, is expected to almost triple by that time.

Despite this rapid growth, the U.S. is faced with a looming shortage of senior housing—over 560,000 additional units will be essential by 2030, while only 191,000 are projected to be constructed. Factors such as rising construction costs, staffing challenges, and supply chain issues are severely restricting the development of new facilities, which leaves many families searching for care solutions.

Supporting Residents and Families Amid Rising Demand

With occupancy rates in assisted living facilities increasing and care requirements becoming more complex, robust support systems are more critical than ever. Families are finding it increasingly difficult to secure reliable care options, while ALFs face mounting pressure to deliver quality care despite limited resources. In this context, Select LTC Pharmacy steps in to provide the necessary clinical expertise and compassionate services aimed at alleviating the burden on these communities while ensuring residents receive safe and consistent medication support.

Medication Safety and Compliance

Many older adults juggle multiple prescriptions each day, making medication management a crucial factor in their well-being. Select LTC Pharmacy mitigates risks associated with medication management by offering advanced clinical oversight, conducting interaction checks, and providing specialized packaging. These services guide caregivers in administering medications safely and precisely to ensure optimal outcomes for residents.

Streamlined Operations for Assisted Living Facilities

Utilizing cutting-edge technology that integrates seamlessly with community electronic health record systems, Select LTC Pharmacy provides enhanced accessibility to pharmacy support. The pharmacy's offerings include diverse delivery options, including 24/7 availability, significantly reducing administrative burdens for ALFs and aiding compliance. This allows staff to devote more time to resident care rather than logistical coordination of prescriptions.

Tailored Care for Residents

Through pharmacist-led medication reviews and personalized treatment plans, Select LTC Pharmacy is able to significantly minimize hospitalizations and enhance the independence of residents. This individualized approach ensures that each resident receives care suited to their unique needs, improving their overall quality of life.

Peace of Mind for Families

Families can rest easy knowing that their loved ones' medications are managed by specialists in geriatric pharmacy care. This comprehensive service fosters better communication among physicians, caregivers, and facilities, creating an environment of trust and reassurance.

Leadership Perspective

Ronny Kimelman, CEO of Select LTC Pharmacy, reflects on the implications of the aging population: "The aging of our population is one of the defining challenges of our time. By expanding our services into assisted living communities, we are addressing the increasing demand for not just care, but also safe, dependable pharmacy services that are vital to enhancing residents' quality of life."
