Medication Management · Long-Term Care
Unit-dose packaging, MAR reporting, controlled substance management, and on-call pharmacist support for regional facilities. Skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, and group homes across Northwest Ohio rely on Okuley's for full pharmacy services — from unit-dose packaging and MAR documentation to controlled substance compliance and 24/7 pharmacist access.
What We Provide
Three foundational services that make the day-to-day of medication administration work for your nursing staff and your residents.
Each medication dose is individually sealed and labeled for facility administration. Eliminates bottle-rotation errors, reduces medication waste, and makes nursing rounds faster. Available in blister-card and cup-based formats depending on what your facility's workflow uses.
Medication Administration Records formatted to match your facility's existing workflow, updated with every prescription change. For facilities using electronic MAR systems, we can interface where the platform supports it.
DEA and Ohio Board of Pharmacy-compliant controlled substance dispensing — perpetual inventory, secure delivery protocols, narcotic count reconciliation, and required regulatory reporting. Audit-ready documentation.
Why Facilities Choose Us
The differences that show up in day-to-day operation, not just on the proposal document.
Travis and Kieu Okuley have served Northwest Ohio long-term care facilities since 1995. The institutional knowledge of how regional facility operations actually work, what the regulatory expectations look like, and how to navigate surveys is hard to replicate.
When your nursing staff needs a dose verification at 2am or a controlled substance question on a Sunday, they reach an actual local pharmacist — not a national support line cycling through scripts.
Your DON, administrator, and lead nurses build relationships with specific people on our team. No quarterly account manager rotation. The team you onboard with is the team you'll still be working with years later.
Many long-term care residents need compounded medications — specific dose forms, ingredient combinations, or formulations not available off the shelf. Our Defiance compounding lab serves facility prescriptions alongside our retail patients.
What's Included
Four categories of services that make up a full facility partnership. Most facilities use most of these; some use a subset depending on what they need.
Facility Types We Serve
The four facility types we work with most often, each with its own typical scope of partnership.
Full pharmacy services including unit-dose packaging, MAR reporting, controlled substance management, IV/injection supply, and 24/7 on-call coverage. Highest service intensity, regulated workflow.
Unit-dose packaging, MAR support where the community provides medication assistance, scheduled delivery, and pharmacist consultation. Lower controlled substance volume than SNF; flexible scope.
Pre-sorted multi-dose packaging tailored to the routine of dementia care administration, with attention to medications commonly prescribed in memory care settings.
Group homes for adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, behavioral health residential facilities, and similar settings. Customized packaging and MAR workflow per setting.
Onboarding Process
Onboarding a new facility typically runs 2-6 weeks depending on size and complexity. We move at the pace your facility can absorb without disruption.
Call or contact us to schedule an initial conversation. We'll discuss your facility's current setup, what's working, what's not, and what scope of pharmacy partnership would fit.
We prepare a service scope and pricing proposal based on your facility's specifics — resident population, services needed, packaging preferences, and any system integration requirements.
Intake of resident roster, current medications, and prescriber relationships. Workflow alignment for packaging, MAR format, and delivery cadence to match your existing operations.
First scheduled deliveries, MAR cycles, and controlled substance protocols go live. Staff orientation included. Our team stays closely engaged during the first 30-60 days to address any operational adjustments.
