Group homes play an essential role in communities across Ontario. One of the many tasks they manage is ensuring that the people living in these homes have the support they need, including medications, medicine, and health care. This is why it’s important for group homes to partner with a specialty pharmacy, But not all specialty pharmacies are the same. They offer different types of products and services. If you’re a group home and looking to partner with a local pharmacy, here are 4 qualities you should consider serving your group home community:
1. Specialization
Group homes are specialized facilities. To get the level of care and understanding that you require, it’s essential for you to partner with a specialized pharmacy that specializes in working with group homes and other similar communities.
Resident Care Pharmacy works alongside group homes, supportive living homes, youth justice programs, mental health & addictions programs and more. Our team has the experience you need in a pharmacy to ensure you receive the care you need and innovative solutions to the unique challenges presented by group homes.
2. A Full Selection of Services
A specialty pharmacy should be able to offer you a full selection of health and medical services. You don’t want to have to use multiple suppliers.

3. Top Quality Customer Service
