New Jersey Senior Care Reimagined: Advanced Pharmacy Solutions Tech Now Powering Every CareOne Facility in NJ

Today, Advanced Pharmacy Solutions, in partnership with CareOne, celebrates the successful completion of its statewide rollout of exclusive pharmacy automation technology across all 29 CareOne senior care facilities in New Jersey. The milestone was marked by today’s final installation at CareOne Wellington, cementing a major turning point in the future of long-term care statewide as it addresses two of the industry’s most pressing challenges: improving nurse efficiency and medication safety. The event was commemorated with a ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration of CareOne Wellington’s dedicated nursing staff.

The activation of APS’ state-of-the-art APS250 system—an advanced medication dispensing solution storing up to 250 oral medications—is projected to reduce med pass time for CareOne Wellington nurses by 34%. With a 99.9999% medication accuracy rate, equivalent to just one pill error per one million packaged pills, the APS250 also sets a new standard for medication safety across the state.

“The APS ecosystem was created as a response to the chronic gap between long-term care facilities and the goal of consistent systematic medication management—a gap that put both patients and providers at risk,” says Jim Matthews, Chief Operating Officer at Advanced Pharmacy Solutions. “We are proud to work alongside CareOne and eliminate these care vulnerabilities and create better provider and patient outcomes.”

The APS250 is driven by 24/7 oversight from remote pharmacists, cuts down medication waste by 97% and dispenses pre-labeled, packaged and sorted medications in just four clicks for each medication pass.

“CareOne’s integration of the APS system allows nurses to focus less on counting pills and more on connecting with patients, enabling them to practice at the top of their licenses and focus on what matters most: caring for people,” says Keith Sandford RN BSN MHCA, Vice President of Clinical Programming and Development at CareOne. “This technology brings relief to the nurses and care teams working around the clock to make sure our patients and residents are healthy and safe.”

While this marks the conclusion of APS installations at CareOne in New Jersey, the partnership continues to roll out this revolutionary technology at additional CareOne facilities across the country.
