Supporting Independence, Every Day: How Good Day Pharmacy Serves Individuals with Developmental Disabilities

March marked Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month (DDAM) — a time to spotlight the voices, contributions, and accomplishments of individuals living with developmental disabilities. But at Good Day Pharmacy, we believe this awareness shouldn’t be limited to just one month.

The 2025 DDAM theme, “We’re Here All Year,” couldn’t be more aligned with our mission. Through our long-term care pharmacy services, we proudly support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) — not just in March, but every single day. Trusted Support for Group Homes and Long-Term Care Communities

Good Day Pharmacy partners with group homes, behavioral health centers, and supported living environments across Colorado to provide personalized, consistent, and compliant pharmacy care for individuals with developmental disabilities.

We understand that:

• Medication management is a critical part of daily life

• Safe, on-time medications support health, independence, and dignity

• Care staff and community providers need a pharmacy partner they can count on — one that understands the unique needs of this population
  

Medication Management That Supports Independence

For individuals with developmental disabilities, independence often looks like:

• Living in a home-like environment

• Following a daily routine

• Managing chronic health conditions

• Feeling empowered in their care
  

At Good Day Pharmacy, we help make that possible by delivering:

• Customized medication packaging (like blister packs and strip packs for ease and accuracy)

• On-time deliveries to homes and communities

• 24/7 pharmacist support for urgent needs

• Thorough medication reviews and consultations with providers and care teams

• Training and support for staff who administer medications
  

Because when medication is managed well, everything else runs a little smoother — from routines and responsibilities to health and happiness.

A Partner in Person-Centered Care

We know that people with I/DD thrive best when they’re supported with respect, patience, and individualized care. That’s why our long-term care pharmacy services are built around flexibility, collaboration, and compassion.

We work directly with:

• Direct support professionals

• Group home staff

• Behavioral health teams

• Family caregivers

• Medical providers
  

Together, we help create an environment where individuals can live as independently as possible — with the right healthcare support behind them.

Year-Round Commitment

Just like developmental disabilities don’t pause after March, our commitment doesn’t either. At Good Day Pharmacy, we’re honored to be part of the everyday care network that uplifts individuals with I/DD and empowers them to live full, meaningful lives.

Our long-term care pharmacy team is here all year, supporting:

• Reliable access to medications

• Streamlined pharmacy coordination

• A higher standard of care for a community that deserves it
  

Let’s Work Together

If you're part of a long-term care facility, group home, or community agency serving individuals with developmental disabilities, we’d love to talk. Let us show you how pharmacy services can be a true extension of care — and a key part of helping people live more independently.

Because at Good Day Pharmacy, independence starts with support — and we’re here for it, every day of the year.
