If you’re managing an aging parent’s medications in Westlake Village, you’re probably well aware of the issue. Many longtime residents are aging in place, managing increasingly complex medication regimens with specialists spread across Los Robles, the Tarzana corridor, and Kaiser or private practices scattered across the 101.

That’s what I do. I’m Andrea Simon, a practicing hospital pharmacist, and ManyMeds is the private-practice version of the work I do on a hospital ward every day: review the whole medication list, check it against itself, flag what’s duplicated or inappropriate for an older adult, and give the family one clear document to actually use.

What a medication management visit looks like

The visit starts before we meet. You (or your parent) send me the current medications — photo of the pill bottles on the kitchen counter works — plus any recent discharge paperwork. I review the list against the clinical picture before the appointment.

The visit itself is about an hour, at your parent’s home in Westlake Village or on a video call. I go through every medication: what it’s for, who prescribed it, whether the dose still makes sense given their kidney and liver function, whether any of the combinations raise a red flag, and whether there’s a medication on the list that probably shouldn’t be there anymore.

After the visit, you get a written summary. The current medication list in a format every specialist and pharmacist will actually read, the questions I’d ask each doctor, and anything I’d flag for their attention.

This is the clinical eye I use on the hospital ward every day. The setting is different. The work is the same.

What I actually do

The core service is a full medication review — the kind I do for patients every day in the hospital, but now in your parent’s home, where the medications actually get taken.

That includes:

Comparing every prescription against every other prescription for interactions
Flagging medications that appear on the Beers Criteria list of drugs to watch in adults over 65
Identifying anything that was probably started during a hospital stay and should have been stopped afterward (antipsychotics, sleep aids, and PPIs are the usual offenders)
Building a maintained medication list that works at the next doctor’s appointment, the next hospital admission, or the next ER trip
Catching refill timing problems, pharmacy-swap issues, and cost workarounds that create fragmented records

What I don’t do is replace your parent’s primary care physician. I’m the second set of eyes the medical system doesn’t have time to provide.

Who this is for

Families in Westlake Village reach out in specific situations:

Your parent just came home from Los Robles with a new medication list and the hospital team didn’t sit down with you to walk through what changed.
Your parent is managing six or seven medications across four specialists, and the complete picture is scattered across multiple patient portals.
A recent hospitalization, a fall, or a new confusion episode has you wondering whether the medications themselves could be contributing.
Your parents live in Westlake and you live somewhere else — and you want someone local to their area looking at the list, not just calling in from the cloud.
You’re part of a sibling group trying to share the load, and you need one clear medication document everyone works from.

If any of that resonates, a free 15-minute phone call is the right next step.

Andrea is a practicing hospital pharmacist, so she knows how discharge paperwork and medication reconciliation work at hospitals like these, and where they tend to fall short. The days after a hospital discharge are when medication errors spike in older adults. If your parent came home in the last week or two with a changed medication list, mention it when you book, because it’s time-sensitive.

Pricing

ManyMeds pricing is on the main site. There are two options: a one-time Medication Clarity Visit, and Ongoing Medication Support for families whose medicines keep changing. Ongoing support covers list and schedule updates when medications change, review of new prescriptions and discharge paperwork, help preparing questions for doctor visits, and a monthly check-in. Private pay — insurance does not currently reimburse pharmacist-led medication review outside of narrow Medicare MTM programs.

The free 15-minute call

Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute phone call. You tell Andrea what you’re dealing with. She tells you whether she can help, and if she can’t, she tells you that too. No pressure, no sales script.
