At Park Shore Pharmacon, we understand that medication administration in long-term care environments requires more than timely delivery. It demands structure, clarity, and personalization—especially for residents in I/DD waiver group homes, intermediate care facilities, behavioral health homes, and adult day training centers. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of Special Packaging Options tailored to meet the needs of these priority populations as well as assisted living facilities across Florida.
Our Special Packaging Options are designed to reduce medication errors, improve compliance, and simplify the administration process for caregivers and healthcare providers. Whether you manage a small group home or a multi-site facility, Park Shore Pharmacon delivers flexible and reliable packaging formats to support every resident’s care plan.
Unit-dose packaging is a cornerstone of our Special Packaging Options. This method involves packaging a single dose of medication in a clearly labeled, tamper-evident container—perfect for skilled nursing homes, behavioral health settings, and dementia care programs.
Park Shore Pharmacon’s unit-dose formats ensure every pill, tablet, or capsule is administered exactly as prescribed. With our automation systems, each dose is barcoded, labeled with the resident’s information, and compliant with regulatory standards, minimizing risk and improving accountability.
Facilities benefit from:
Reduced medication errors
By using automated packaging, real-time updates, and integrated pharmacy systems, facilities experience fewer manual entry mistakes and prescription miscommunications. This greatly reduces the risk of incorrect dosages or missed medications, ensuring each resident receives precisely what they need—safely and consistently—with full traceability for every order filled.
Easier medication passes
With pre-packaged doses organized by administration time and resident, medication passes become more efficient and less stressful for nursing staff. The simplified system eliminates guesswork, reduces delays, and frees up caregivers to focus on resident interaction and care, rather than sorting pills and verifying multiple medication charts.
Faster audit readiness
Facilities benefit from digital documentation, automatic record updates, and consistent labeling, which streamline internal reviews and external audits. When surveyors or inspectors arrive, having accurate, up-to-date reports readily available ensures compliance with healthcare regulations and reduces the time spent gathering paperwork or explaining medication administration protocols.
Improved resident safety
Through better tracking, verification, and coordination with care teams, our pharmacy services enhance safety at every stage of the medication cycle. From reducing adverse drug interactions to ensuring medications arrive on time and in the right form, everything is designed to support the health and well-being of every resident.
Among our most requested Special Packaging Options are our classic multi-dose solutions like bingo cards, blister cards, and bubble packs. These formats allow caregivers to quickly identify and administer medications at the correct time without opening bulk containers or performing manual counts.
These medication cards are carefully organized by both day and time of administration, offering a clear, easy-to-follow format that simplifies the entire medication process. This structure makes them especially valuable for caregivers working in memory care units or with residents who are prescribed multiple medications throughout the day. By eliminating the confusion of sorting pills or reading complex labels, these cards help ensure that the right medications are given at the right time—every time. The intuitive layout not only reduces the risk of errors but also supports consistency, confidence, and peace of mind for both caregivers and the residents they serve.
Why choose blister packaging?
Easy to track doses
Great for PRN or short-term meds
Durable, portable, and moisture-resistant
Ideal for medications that don’t mix well
When a resident is prescribed multiple medications to be taken at the same time, managing their regimen can quickly become complex—for both staff and the resident. That’s where multi-dose packaging makes a difference. At Park Shore Pharmacon, we offer comprehensive Special Packaging Options that simplify medication management by grouping all medications scheduled for the same administration time into a single, pre-labeled packet.
Each packet is clearly marked with the resident’s name, the date, and the exact time the medications should be taken. Whether the dosing is morning, noon, evening, or bedtime, this organized format eliminates the need for manual sorting or last-minute verification, ensuring safer and more efficient medication passes.
This solution is particularly valuable during overnight shifts, busy medication times, or when new staff are on duty. By reducing the cognitive load on caregivers, multi-dose packaging improves workflow, decreases the likelihood of errors, and fosters greater confidence in daily medication routines. It’s also a helpful tool for residents who are more independent or who take medications at home under supervision.
Multi-dose packaging is best suited for residents with long-term, stable medication regimens that do not require frequent changes. Once set up, it offers a consistent, easy-to-use method for organizing complex therapies without confusion.
Key benefits include:
One packet per med pass, simplifying the process
Significant reduction in sorting and prep time for staff
Ideal for residents with stable medication routines
Improves adherence and minimizes missed or duplicated doses
At Park Shore Pharmacon, we work closely with facilities to determine which packaging option best suits each resident’s needs. Our goal is to provide clarity, safety, and convenience through thoughtful, customized medication delivery systems that support better outcomes and smoother workflows for your care team.
As part of our multi-dose options, we also offer baggy packaging and strip packaging—two of our most efficient solutions for high-volume medication management. With strip packaging, medications for each scheduled dose are placed in a clearly labeled pouch and dispensed in a continuous roll.
Baggy packaging offers a convenient and flexible solution for specific medication needs, especially when portability and ease of use are essential. This packaging format is commonly preferred for over-the-counter medications, daily vitamins, and supplements. It is especially useful for residents who attend community programs, go to school, or require off-site care. Each baggy is individually prepared and clearly labeled with the resident’s name, a list of contents, and detailed administration instructions, supporting safe and accurate medication handling.
This format is particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility or dexterity challenges, as it removes the need to handle traditional pill containers or complex packaging. The easy-to-open design helps both caregivers and residents manage medications with less effort, reducing the risk of dropped pills or dosage confusion.
Baggy packaging also plays a key role in supporting consistent medication adherence in non-facility settings. Whether a resident is traveling, attending an adult day training program, or participating in behavioral support activities, the pre-portioned and labeled bags ensure that medications remain organized and ready for timely administration. This is especially helpful in situations where care coordination needs to extend beyond the walls of the facility.
At Park Shore Pharmacon, baggy packaging is tailored to each resident’s routine and lifestyle, helping to promote independence, safety, and continuity of care.
Pouch packaging is one of the latest innovations in Park Shore Pharmacon’s lineup of special packaging options and has quickly become a preferred choice for many facility caregivers. These compact, tear-open pouches are designed to contain all medications scheduled for a specific administration time, streamlining the medication pass process and improving overall workflow efficiency.
Each pouch is fully customized to meet the unique needs of your facility and residents. Details such as the resident’s name and ID, the scheduled date and time for administration, and a complete list of included medications with dosages are printed clearly on each pouch. Optional barcode scanning can also be included to support electronic verification and enhance medication safety.
This packaging format significantly reduces the time spent preparing and administering medications. Caregivers can complete med passes more quickly and with greater confidence, especially during busy shifts or staffing transitions. Pouch packaging also simplifies audits and reviews, providing a clear, consistent record that’s easy to track and verify. When it comes to hand-offs between shifts or across departments, the labeled pouches make it easier to maintain accuracy and accountability.
Park Shore Pharmacon’s pouch packaging combines clarity, efficiency, and safety to support better care outcomes and a more streamlined daily routine.
Liquid medications can pose a unique challenge in long-term care settings. Measuring exact doses can be difficult and time-consuming—especially with thickened liquids, flavored syrups, or high-risk pediatric or geriatric formulations.
That’s why Park Shore Pharmacon offers liquid unit dose packaging as one of our premium special packaging options. This service involves pre-measuring and sealing each liquid medication dose into individual, easy-open containers—designed for safety, accuracy, and convenience. By removing the need for staff to manually measure each dose, this format reduces the chances of dosing errors and ensures consistency with every administration.
Liquid unit dose packaging offers several key advantages. It significantly improves dosage accuracy by eliminating guesswork and ensuring that each resident receives the exact prescribed amount. The sealed containers also reduce the risk of spills, leaks, or contamination, helping to maintain a clean and safe environment. For staff, the simplified format means faster preparation and administration, particularly during high-volume medication passes or when handling medications for residents who may have difficulty swallowing pills.
This packaging method also supports better compliance monitoring. Each container is clearly labeled with the resident’s information and administration time, allowing for accurate tracking and easier documentation. Whether during internal reviews or regulatory audits, liquid unit dose packaging makes it simple to verify that medications have been administered correctly and on schedule.
At Park Shore Pharmacon, we use liquid unit dose packaging to enhance medication safety and streamline care delivery for both residents and staff.
Building on our comprehensive unit-dose solutions, Park Shore Pharmacon offers pre-dosed liquid medication packaging designed specifically for facilities that care for residents who rely heavily on liquid formulations. Whether it’s antacids, laxatives, antihypertensives, or other liquid medications, we ensure that each dose is carefully measured, sealed, and labeled under sterile conditions to maintain safety, accuracy, and compliance.
Pre-dose liquid packaging eliminates the need for caregivers to use syringes, cups, or manual measuring tools. This reduces the margin for error and significantly streamlines the medication administration process. By preparing each dose in advance, we help your care team avoid spills, minimize cleanup, and save time—especially during busy med passes or shift changes. With clear labeling that includes resident information, medication name, dose, and administration time, staff can quickly confirm accuracy and move forward with confidence.
This approach also supports greater safety and consistency for residents. Each liquid dose is tailored to the prescribed amount, reducing the risk of under- or over-dosing. The secure, tamper-evident packaging also provides peace of mind for staff, residents, and families alike, knowing that medications are handled with the highest level of care.
Pre-dosed liquid medications are ideal for residents who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules and those who are on long-term liquid medication regimens. This solution simplifies care routines, improves compliance, and enhances resident satisfaction by making medication administration less invasive and more predictable.
At Park Shore Pharmacon, we take pride in offering practical, safe, and effective packaging options that make everyday medication management easier for your team. Our pre-dosed liquids are just one more way we support your facility with high-quality pharmaceutical services tailored to the needs of long-term care environments.
For residents who take medications at the same time each day, calendar packaging offers a practical and user-friendly solution that promotes routine and adherence. This packaging method organizes each medication dose according to a specific date and time of day, providing both residents and caregivers with clear visual cues that help ensure consistency and reduce the risk of missed or duplicated doses.
At Park Shore Pharmacon, we take this a step further by offering customizable calendar packaging that can be combined with color-coded systems or medication pouches. These additional features are particularly beneficial for visual learners and residents with memory challenges, as they create an easy-to-follow system that supports daily medication routines with confidence and clarity.
This format is especially valuable in settings where simplicity and structure are essential. Community-based programs, adult day training centers, and school accommodations often rely on calendar packaging to support participants who require medication during the day. It’s also an ideal solution for residents experiencing mild cognitive decline, as it reinforces routine and helps them stay engaged in their care. Home caregivers benefit as well, as the packaging simplifies supervision and makes it easier to confirm whether a dose has been taken.
Calendar packaging from Park Shore Pharmacon supports independence, boosts medication adherence, and adds peace of mind for care teams and families alike.
One of our most effective and caregiver-friendly Special Packaging Options is our color-coded system. Each administration time (morning, noon, evening, bedtime) is assigned a unique color—helping staff immediately recognize which medication should be given at which time.
This visual aid reduces errors, accelerates med passes, and allows new or substitute staff to quickly understand the resident’s routine.
Advantages:
Enhanced safety and visual clarity
Color-coded packaging provides an immediate visual reference, helping caregivers quickly identify the correct medication time. This reduces the likelihood of administering a dose at the wrong time and enhances overall safety. The clear, color-based system eliminates confusion, especially in high-pressure environments or for staff unfamiliar with individual care plans.
Fewer skipped or duplicated doses
By assigning each administration time a distinct color, the system helps staff recognize when a dose has been given—or still needs to be. This reduces the chances of missed medications or accidental repeats. The consistent color scheme reinforces adherence, especially in facilities managing complex medication schedules across multiple residents.
Easier for facilities with large med rooms
In large medication rooms with multiple storage bins or stations, color-coded packaging simplifies organization and speeds up retrieval. Staff can quickly locate and prepare medications without needing to read every label, which improves efficiency and reduces the stress associated with busy or time-sensitive med passes in larger care settings.
Perfect for ADT and supported living homes
In adult day training programs and supported living environments, where residents may receive care from a rotating team, color-coded systems ensure continuity and simplicity. Even substitute caregivers can easily follow the routine. This format supports independence and reduces the burden on staff by creating a visually intuitive medication process.
