ABSTRACT
Medication management for seniors is a foundation for keeping them healthy and independent. A vital aspect of medication management is the selective discontinuation of medications, or deprescribing. While this is a common practice within nursing homes it seems to be less common among those who live in assisted living facilities. Shockingly little exiting literature was found when conducting a literature review concerning deprescribing in assisted living facilities. Therefore, it was determined to set forth this call to action to focus on deprescribing in assisted living facilities hoping that it would be given more attention to keep our seniors healthy and safe.
