Res-Care Inc. announced that it has signed a national affiliation agreement with Walgreens as the national drugstore chain rolls out its DailyMed by Walgreens(TM) prescription service. DailyMed by Walgreens(TM) offers a safe and effective way for patients to organize and keep track of multiple medications, with individual, pre-sorted packets that indicate date and time certain medications are scheduled to be taken. A service that's ideal for some seniors and other patients with complex prescription regimens, DailyMed provides a 30-day supply of certain medications, with sealed and clearly marked packets that eliminate the need to sort through multiple prescriptions with different daily dosages and timing.

DailyMed by Walgreens(TM) can be an effective and easy-to-use solution for costly barriers to treating illness, such as non-adherence to medications, a problem estimated to have a $300 billion impact on the U.S. health care system. Under the affiliation agreement, Walgreens will feature ResCare HomeCare education materials with its DailyMed by Walgreens(TM) products. ResCare HomeCare employees will discuss DailyMed with their clients as part of a range of services the company offers to help people live more independently.
