Home Care Medication Management
Medication Management for Clients Needing Full Support or Reminders
We understand that some clients require extra help with their medicines, whether that means full support or gentle reminders and prompts. Our approach is always centred around the individual’s needs, safety, and independence.
- Personalised Support: We assess each client’s unique medication needs and create a tailored plan to ensure they receive the right medicine at the right time.
- Safe Administration: Our trained care staff follow strict procedures to administer medicines safely, while encouraging clients to participate as much as they can.
- Respect and Communication: We explain the purpose and schedule of each medicine clearly to clients and their families, fostering trust and understanding.
- Understanding and Advice: We make sure our clients understand their medication requirements and why they are taking each prescribed medicine. If they have any questions or concerns, we will help arrange a one-to-one visit or phone call with their doctor or pharmacist to ensure they receive the right guidance.
- Consent and Choice: We always ask for consent before supporting with any medication. Every client has the right to choose and the right to refuse. We respect those choices fully and never administer medication covertly without formal consent and appropriate safeguards in place.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We keep a close eye on how medicines affect our clients and promptly report any concerns to healthcare professionals.
- Medication Reviews: We monitor when our clients have medication reviews and ensure their care plans are updated to reflect any changes in their prescribed treatment.
Medication Security and Auditing for Clients Living at Home
Keeping medicines safe and accounted for is a top priority for us. Here’s how we ensure your medicines are managed securely at home:
- Secure Storage: All medicines are stored safely in locked cabinets or secure boxes, with access limited to authorised care staff or the client if required due to risk of medication errors or mishandling
- Regular Audits: We carry out daily routine checks and weekly audits to monitor medicine supplies, expiry dates, and report any issues immediately.
- Accurate Records: Every medicine administered is recorded carefully, ensuring full transparency and accountability.
- Professional Standards: Our care staff are fully trained in medicine handling and security, adhering to all legal and professional guidelines.
Your safety, dignity, and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. If you have any questions about our medication management services, please get in touch
