Abstract:
Skilled nursing facilities are beginning to introduce Self-Medication Programs (SMP), in which patients meet with a staff member and learn how to manage their own medications throughout their rehabilitation stay. This program allows for patients to keep their medications in their room and take them on their own without direct nursing administration.

Herein we describe a veteran, 57 years of age, who participated in the Cincinnati VA SMP in order to regain his independence poststroke.
