Lacey's Long Term Care Services
We provide medications and consultant pharmacy services to Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) and Personal Care homes (PCH).
About Lacey's Long Term Care Pharmacy
Lacey’s LTC Pharmacy specializes in providing pharmacy services to residents of assisted living facilities, personal care homes and hospices throughout Cobb and the surrounding counties in Northwest Georgia. We provide medical dispensing and delivery services Monday – Saturday as well as after hours if needed.
We understand that urgent situations can arise that need to be addressed immediately. For this reason, we have an on-call pharmacist available 24/7/365.
It is important to know that every person who entrusts us with their medication, or their family member’s medical needs is taken care of as if they were a member of our extended family.
Residents & Resident's Families
When it comes to choosing a pharmacy to take care of your or your loved one’s medications it can be a little scary. Things you want to consider when choosing a pharmacy are:
- Personalized attention to your or your family members needs
- Cost
- Convenience
- Preventative care
- Services
Lacey’s can help you with all of this and more. We understand your concerns and want to provide peace of mind that you and your loved one’s medical needs are our top priority.
Personalized Attention To Our Patient's Needs
Lacey’s knowledgeable staff will take time with you, your family member or authorized caregiver to discuss medications, medication packaging, possible interactions and items affecting you and your loved one’s health and well-being.
Cost
We are an independently owned family pharmacy that has been in the community for over 120 years. We have done this by treating our customers like family and by looking for ways to decrease our patients medication costs. Did you know that a 2018 Consumer Reports study found that most independent pharmacies actually save you money?
If you have any questions about the cost of your medication or how to save money with your medication, talk to our pharmacists or our billing specialists to see how we can help you!
Convenience
Lacey’s wants to help make your experience with us as easy as possible. We can deliver your medications or home medical equipment to your facility.
Additionally, we work together with the communities, families, and doctors to ensure that residents are getting the appropriate medication at the right time
Preventative Care Services
We are proactive in helping you or your loved one avoid getting sick.
Did you know that according to the CDC, over 60 percent of those hospitalized for the seasonal flu occur in those 65 and older?
Each year, Lacey's makes it a point to work with our Assisted Living Facilities and Senior Living Communities, from Rome to Athens (Georgia, of course) to organize flu clinics where we provide flu vaccines to protect our elderly patients. We have experienced and certified professionals on staff to administer the vaccinations.
Our Facilities
Lacey Drug Company provides a complete package of pharmacy services for our facilities, including intravenous products, pharmaceutical compounds and durable medical equipment.
Our LTC pharmacists become part of the senior living community’s professional team. We provide special packaging systems that help facility personnel get medications to residents accurately and efficiently. Our four primary packaging systems are:

- Medication carts are available for each packaging system and are provided to the facilities based on patient population.
