Elderly medication management at home
Our live-in care services include medication management for the elderly at home.
What is medication management for the elderly?
Medication management is a type of elderly care where carers are also responsible for helping with all aspects of medication. Elderly live-in carers can help effectively manage all medication needs and will support your loved one with any aspect of their medication that they need help with.
Our highly trained and qualified carers can help your elderly loved one to ensure that:
- No medications are missed out
- Medication mistakes that may lead to harmful drug interactions are avoided
- Medications are taken as prescribed
- Pain is managed adequately
- Prescriptions are collected, when required
- Promoting independence is vital to ensure that elderly people are active and in control of their own care as much as possible. Both our live-in and home care workers are able to support you with your medication management.
If you’re interested in medication management support for you or your elderly loved one, call us today on 0118 427 0362 for a free consultation.

Costs of elderly live-in care
Paying for care can be a worry, however, depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to help with paying for home care. Funding can come from a number of sources including:
– NHS
– Attendance Allowance
– Other benefits (i.e. PIP)
– Local authority
– Charities (i.e. Age UK)
– Health insurance
How much support you may get will depend on your care needs and the value of your assets It is possible to self-fund home care, especially if you or a loved one only need a small number of hours of support each week.
Choosing home care can, in some cases, be the most practical and cost-effective solution for elderly care. Many people do not want to move into care homes where they must leave their community, belongings and familiar environment. For more information on funding home care, head to our funding page.
