January 12 = National Pharmacist Day. Here's why your parent's pharmacist matters more than you think.

Throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County, seniors over 65 take an average of 4-5 prescription medications daily, plus over-the-counter supplements.
That creates serious risks:

Drug interactions (medications working against each other)
Duplicate therapy (multiple doctors prescribing similar meds)
Inappropriate medications for elderly
Timing conflicts
Dangerous side effects

Your pharmacist isn't just counting pills. They're your medication safety expert who:

Reviews ALL medications for dangerous interactions
Catches prescriptions inappropriate for elderly
Provides counseling on timing, food interactions, side effects
Offers immunizations (flu, pneumonia, shingles)
Coordinates with doctors when issues arise
Suggests cost-saving alternatives

Use ONE pharmacy for all prescriptions (enables complete interaction screening)
Create a relationship ask questions, request consultations
Share complete medication list including OTC and supplements
Request medication reviews annually
Ask about medication synchronization (refill everything same day monthly)

Home health connection:
American Premier's nurses work closely with pharmacists ensuring medication regimens support rather than complicate patient care goals.
Today, thank a pharmacist. They're preventing complications you might never know about.

"I'm the one that was inflicting the pain, which was very difficult for me."

Lisa Liveringhouse shares one of the hardest truths about family caregiving throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County.

Sometimes loving your parent means causing them pain.
Repositioning to prevent bedsores. Cleaning wounds. Necessary care that hurts even when done with gentleness.

Lisa describes the emotional weight of being the one inflicting pain on her mother, Wanda. And how American Premier's team helped her carry that weight.

Through the CNA who bathed her mother, nurses George and Joyce, and friendships with chaplain Julia, Dan, and Teresa, Lisa found something critical:
Emotional support that convinced her she wasn't causing harm.
Her mother knew everything Lisa did came from love.
This is what caregivers struggle with alone:

Guilt over necessary care causing discomfort
Anguish of being both comfort and pain
Questioning whether you can continue

What made the difference for Lisa? A team that:

Recognized her emotional struggle
Validated her feelings
Convinced her love, not harm, defined her actions
Developed genuine friendships
Made it possible to continue

Professional hospice care isn't just managing the patient's pain. It's supporting family caregivers through the emotional pain of providing that care.Without this support, caregivers burn out, collapse, or stop caregiving entirely.

If you're experiencing caregiver guilt about causing discomfort during necessary care: You're not alone. You don't have to carry that emotional weight without support.
Thank you, Lisa, for this vulnerable truth. Your story helps other families know they're not alone.

"The services we provide are truly life-changing."

Scott Scherpenberg, Managing Director of American Premier throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County, describes what makes our organization different: we're there at
EVERY stage of your family's healthcare journey.

Depending on what your loved one needs:
Home Health
Getting patients better recovering from surgery, rebuilding strength, restoring independence.
Palliative Care
Managing serious illness symptoms while continuing treatment—improving quality of life regardless of prognosis.
Hospice
Supporting the end-of-life journey, which Scott acknowledges is "a very hard journey" but with the right clinicians, that journey can be made with peace, dignity, and comfort.

What families don't realize:
You don't have to figure this out alone or start over with unfamiliar providers as needs change.
American Premier provides all three levels of care. As your parent's needs evolve, you're working with a team that already knows your family.

Lisa Liveringhouse's story shows this: her mother Wanda received all three services—home health, palliative care, and hospice with the same trusted American Premier team
throughout her entire journey.

Scott's commitment "with the right clinicians, which we have" is the standard he holds every team member to: care he would want for his own family.
Your family's healthcare journey may require different support over time. One trusted organization providing all three means:

Continuity of care
Established relationships
No gaps during transitions

We're here at every stage. Making an impact. Providing life-changing care.

To the exhausted caregiver reading this on December 26:

You just pulled off the holidays for your aging parent throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County. You managed medications, monitored food restrictions, prevented falls, coordinated family visits, maintained routines, kept everyone happy, and worked your regular job. And now you're exhausted. Overwhelmed. And feeling guilty for being relieved it's over.

You need permission to hear this:

- Taking today to rest isn't selfish
- Ordering takeout isn't failing
- Declining New Year's hosting isn't letting anyone down
- Asking for professional help isn't giving up
Signs you need more support:

Already dreading next holiday
Feeling angry or resentful
Physical symptoms (headaches, insomnia)
Withdrawing from things you enjoy
Fantasizing about escape

The truth:
The holidays just proved you can't sustain this alone.
And you shouldn't have to.
Professional home healthcare isn't about replacing you it's about supporting you so caregiving doesn't consume you.
The best gift you can give your parent in 2026? A healthy, rested, emotionally present version of yourself.
That requires acknowledging what the holidays just taught you: you need help.

The gift list you can't forget: Your parent's medications.

Holiday chaos throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County disrupts routines—including medication schedules that keep chronic conditions stable.
Common mistakes that land seniors in the ER:

- Missed doses during travel or hosting
- Wrong timing due to schedule changes
- Medication-food interactions with rich meals
- Running out during pharmacy holiday closures
Critical for:

Heart medications (blood pressure, cardiac meds)
Diabetes medications (insulin timing)
Blood thinners (Warfarin, Eliquis)
Seizure medications
Parkinson's medications

Your holiday medication checklist:
- Set phone alarms for med times (even during parties)
- Pre-fill weekly pill organizers before travel
- Pack 2-3 extra days for travel delays
- Refill prescriptions BEFORE December 23
- Brief hosting family on medication schedule
- Keep medication list in wallet for emergencies

One missed dose might seem minor. For seniors with multiple conditions, it can trigger cascade effects leading to ER visits.
Don't let medication mistakes ruin your holidays.
Professional home healthcare maintains medication schedules even during celebrations nurses ensure doses stay on track.

"My experience with grief creates empathy I can offer patients and their loved ones."

Meet Julia, our chaplain and bereavement coordinator throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County. She shares what many families don't realize about hospice care: it's not just about managing pain it's about honoring the whole person.

Julia describes the privilege of meeting patients who have lived full, wonderful lives and ensuring their last days include:

Dignity and comfort
Pain-free care
Spiritual support
Living their final days to the very fullest

What you might not know: Chaplain services are INCLUDED in hospice care. Julia doesn't replace your family's faith community she complements it with spiritual support specifically trained for end-of-life needs.

She meets spiritual needs for both your loved one AND your family during this profound transition.

Her words "It's such an honor and I really enjoy the people" remind us that hospice professionals witness the culmination of entire lifetimes, offering presence, dignity, and spiritual comfort when it matters most.

If your family is navigating end-of-life decisions, spiritual care isn't an afterthought. It's ensuring your loved one's final chapter honors their whole life story.

Thank you, Julia, for the honor you bring to this sacred work.

Flu Season = Predictable Surge. Strategic Home Health = Preventable Complications.

Healthcare partners throughout Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County: December-February brings 3-5x higher hospitalization rates for adults 65+ with influenza and pneumonia.

The numbers:

70-85% of flu deaths occur in adults 65+
30-40% develop pneumonia complications

Significant readmission risk

Why seniors experience worse outcomes:

Strategic home health prevents escalation:
Early intervention protocol:

Daily monitoring of high-risk patients

Hydration/nutrition support
Oxygen monitoring for respiratory conditions

Impact on your quality metrics:
Home health partnerships reduce:

Preventable ER visits
Hospital admissions
30-day readmissions
Functional decline

Transform flu season from crisis management to preventive excellence.
