Caring With Older Adults Across the Continuum
In this episode, the medical professionals Roslyn Compton, Erin Yakiwchuk, and Deb Schick shed light on the complex and often controversial use of antipsychotic medications in long-term care. When are they appropriate, and what are the risks? How can families navigate these decisions? We explore how these medications are prescribed, the pressure families may face from physicians, and why informed consent and patient-centred advocacy are crucial. Join us for a candid conversation on the ethical and clinical challenges of antipsychotic use in older adults and how we can better support safe, respectful care.
