A cross-sectional study was conducted in Houston, Texas.
Thirty participants aged 60+ received MTM and emergency-preparedness counseling in their homes.
Surveys measured satisfaction, knowledge gained, and perceived impact on physician visits.

Main Results:

96% of participants felt more knowledgeable about their medications post-visit.
73% believed the home visit would reduce doctor appointments.
72% were very satisfied, and all participants would recommend the program.

Conclusions:

This unique home-based MTM program was perceived as highly valuable by participants.
High satisfaction rates and strong recommendations indicate program effectiveness.
Further research into pharmacist-led home-based MTM is warranted.
