Guardian Pharmacy Services

Guardian is one of the largest, most trusted long-term care pharmacy service providers in the U.S.

We serve senior living, skilled nursing, and community providers of mental and behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disability services. Founded in 2004 in Atlanta, GA, Guardian Pharmacy Services and its partner pharmacies focus on providing exceptional customer service and patient care to long-term care facilities including assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities and behavioral health homes. Guardian's unique "local autonomy" business model allows partner pharmacies to operate as independent businesses, tailoring their services to the needs of customers in their respective markets. We take our responsibility to our customers and their residents very seriously, and always strive to make sure that every prescription we fill and every service we execute receives our utmost care and attention. In the end, customers are the winners as pharmacies devote more attention to them while still meeting the many demands of any business.

New multisociety guidance sets a higher bar for infection prevention and control in long-term care. The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) and the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) have released an update to the 2008 infection prevention and control recommendations. The revised guidance highlights current challenges in long-term care, including higher resident acuity and the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms, and emphasizes practical strategies to prevent infections while maintaining a home-like environment where residents can thrive. https://loom.ly/0DlwO2E

At Guardian, we know that respect, gratitude and connection can be the most powerful medicine. This Veterans Day, we reflect on the power of purpose through the eyes of those who served. Senior director and longtime clinical consultant pharmacist Bethany Bramwell shares two powerful stories that show how recognizing a veteran’s story can restore dignity, a sense of belonging, and make them feel truly valued. From a retired Air Force officer whose presence still commanded respect to another veteran finding purpose through a simple shared task, these moments reflect the courage and spirit of those who served.

In sharing these stories, we proudly honor the veterans whose service and sacrifice continue to shape our communities and our freedoms. https://loom.ly/KgtMpjY

Meet Nicole Barnett, Pharm.D., Consultant Pharmacist and Clinical Support. Since joining Guardian in 2019, Nicole has combined onsite clinical consulting with enterprise-level support, serving communities across Minnesota while also contributing to the corporate clinical team in Atlanta.

With a Doctor of Pharmacy and B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from North Dakota State University, and a B.S. in Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences from Minnesota State University, Nicole brings both clinical depth and a strong communication background to her work.

Before transitioning to long-term care consulting, Nicole spent five years as a pharmacist-in-charge in community retail pharmacy. She says, “I sought out this change to clinical consulting due to the focus on patient care.”

In her consulting role, Nicole partners with providers and care teams to optimize medication regimens, reduce polypharmacy and adverse drug events, and promote safe, cost-effective treatment plans. Her clinical oversight leads to measurable improvements for residents and communities, including fewer hospitalizations, better clinical outcomes, and lower overall costs of care. Through her corporate work, she supports Guardian’s consultant pharmacists and clinical staff with educational initiatives and practical clinical resources, helping implement best practices across the organization.

“I love getting to know the community’s staff and truly feel like a valued and trusted member of their team,” Nicole says. “I feel I have finally found my place in the field of pharmacy with Guardian, making a difference providing age-friendly care.”

Her advice to future pharmacists: find the area that ignites your passion. It’s the surest path to meaningful impact and a rewarding career.
