The 4Ms of Age-Friendly Care

Medication is part of the 4Ms of age-friendly care. The 4Ms are essential, evidence-based elements of high-quality care for older adults.

Focus everyone involved in caring for you on what is most important to you. Your healthcare team, family, and loved ones can care best for you when they know What Matters to you.
Ask for a review of Medications so they do not interfere with What Matters, Mind, and Mobility.
Support brain health and emotional well-being (Mind).
Ensure that every day includes safe physical movement (Mobility).

The 4Ms guide the healthcare team and align care with what matters most to you.
