About Us
LTCPA advocates for the interests of the long term care (LTC) pharmacy community - a community that provides a critical component to the daily care of individuals living in LTC settings. LTCPA provides a unified voice on regulatory and market concerns including pharmacy costs, specialized pharmacy services and the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit.
LTCPA member pharmacies provide specialized pharmacy services to residents who take an average of eight medications per day and require unique care and monitoring.
These specialized services include:
- Conducting regular safety reviews to determine if medication changes are needed
- Dispensing drugs in specialized packaging systems that reduce medication error risk
- Delivering standard and emergency medication supplies 24/7
- Preparing and dispensing intravenous medication solutions
- Providing on-site support/consultation to nursing facilities and other institutional providers
