Senior Care Pharmacists

Salaries for senior care pharmacists are generally on par with what other pharmacists earn. Some pharmacies view senior care pharmacists as acting as sales representative in addition to their regular duties. In these cases, senior care pharmacists are usually at the higher end of the pay scale. Other factors that influence salaries include location and type of employer and the pharmacist's experience.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, pharmacists had median yearly incomes of $128,090 in May 2019. The department also reported that the lowest paid 10 percent earned less than $88,400, while the highest paid 10 percent made more than $162,900 annually.

Pharmacists, in addition to salary, often enjoy fringe benefits such as paid vacation time, medical and dental insurance, retirement plans, and sometimes bonuses, depending on the size and type of employer.
