Asthma management isn’t just about reacting to symptoms—it’s about being proactive, informed, and supported by a care team that puts your respiratory health first. At Gilmore Pharmacy in Burnaby, we specialize in pharmacist-led care that helps patients live well with asthma every day. Discover five ways asthma management services at our pharmacy can help you breathe easier and live more comfortably. Asthma Management Through Personalized Medication Support Medication is the foundation of any asthma care plan, but using it effectively is key. Our pharmacists review your prescriptions, demonstrate correct inhaler technique, and customize your treatment. This is a core part of our asthma management services, helping ensure consistent control over your symptoms. Asthma Management with In-Clinic Breathing Assessments Lung function can change quickly, especially during allergy season or illness. That’s why we offer walk-in breathing assessments at our Walk-In Pharmacy Clinic, allowing patients to track asthma progress and update action plans when needed—no appointment necessary. Asthma Management Backed by BC Guidelines At Gilmore Pharmacy, we follow the BC Clinical Practice Guidelines for Asthma. These evidence-based practices support early diagnosis, customized care plans, and patient education. By aligning with provincial standards, we offer trusted care that’s current and consistent. Asthma Management for Seniors and At-Home Patients Asthma can be more serious in older adults or individuals managing multiple chronic conditions. That’s why we integrate asthma care into our home care for elderly services, including daily visits, blister packaging, and daily medication delivery. These tools ensure safety and convenience for vulnerable patients. Asthma Management Through Preventative Vaccinations Preventing respiratory infections is a powerful part of asthma control. We offer essential vaccinations like flu, pneumonia, and COVID-19 immunizations that reduce the risk of asthma-related complications, especially during peak seasons.

Parkinson’s Disease is a chronic and progressive neurological condition that affects thousands of individuals across Canada, particularly seniors. As symptoms evolve, daily life can become increasingly complex—not just for those diagnosed, but for caregivers too. At Gilmore Pharmacy, we understand these challenges and are here to offer tailored, pharmacist-led solutions that promote safety, independence, and improved quality of life. The Role of Pharmacies in Parkinson’s Care Pharmacists play a crucial role in helping individuals manage Parkinson’s symptoms effectively. Medications such as Levodopa, dopamine agonists, and MAO-B inhibitors must be taken on a strict schedule, with careful monitoring for side effects and interactions. At Gilmore Pharmacy, we support Parkinson’s patients through: Medication Timing Matters With Parkinson’s, timing can be everything. Medications must be taken at precise intervals to reduce “off” periods—those windows when symptoms return between doses. Gilmore Pharmacy ensures consistency through our Daily Witnessed Ingestion services and Home Healthcare for Seniors. Our Daily Medication Delivery ensures no dose is ever missed, while Health Assessments help us adapt treatment based on physical and cognitive changes. Provincial Support & Guidance Beyond local pharmacy care, British Columbia provides comprehensive guidance on Parkinson’s Disease through public health resources. If you’re navigating this condition or supporting a loved one who is, we recommend consulting the BC Government’s Parkinson’s Disease Guide. This official page outlines symptom management, safety at home, and long-term care planning—all aligned with our pharmacy’s community-centered approach. Empowering Caregivers and Patients It’s not just about medication. Our team at Gilmore Pharmacy empowers caregivers through education, emotional support, and practical solutions. Whether it’s training on medication administration or scheduling mobility consultations, we ensure no one faces Parkinson’s alone. Patients also benefit from our Chronic Disease Management for Seniors, which includes coordination for those living with multiple conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
