Guardian Pharmacy Services is a leading long-term care pharmacy that facilitates the full lifecycle of pharmacy administration and associated consultative services for residents of long-term healthcare facilities (LTCFs). We provide an extensive suite of technology-enabled services to residents of LTCFs designed to help them adhere to their appropriate drug regimen, which in turn helps reduce the cost of care and improve clinical outcomes.
We are purpose-built to serve the needs of residents in historically lower acuity LTCFs, such as assisted living facilities, behavioral health facilities and group homes, while our robust capabilities also enable us to serve residents of skilled nursing facilities and other types of LTCFs.
Through our significant employee ownership model, which is one of our key guiding principles, we empower our local pharmacies to offer an extensive suite of high-touch, individualized, consultative pharmacy services designed to meet the needs of the residents we serve.
We are trusted partners to:
Residents. We help monitor resident drug regimens and coordinate with their prescribing physicians to confirm clinical appropriateness and to help maximize coverage under the resident’s pharmacy benefit plan. We also partner with each facility to achieve adherence to a resident’s drug regimen. We believe that these services help improve clinical outcomes and reduce hospitalizations and out-of-pocket costs for the resident.
LTCFs / Caregivers. We help caregivers deliver high quality resident care by streamlining the intricacies associated with drug administration and compliance with related regulatory requirements. We accomplish this through the information available from our technology-enabled, proprietary data warehouse, our compliance packaging of the prescriptions we fill and the clinical training we offer to caregivers. By providing this comprehensive suite of tools, resources and support, we help caregivers and facility owners and operators improve safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Health Plan Payors. Our services help facilitate proper management of residents’ drug regimens and reduce errors in drug administration, which we believe ultimately results in better clinical outcomes and thereby lowers overall healthcare costs for health insurance plan payors.
At Guardian Pharmacy, it’s about more than just delivering medication. Our mission is to provide an extensive suite of services to residents of LTCFs to improve their adherence to their appropriate drug regimen, thereby helping reduce costs and improve clinical outcomes.
