Medication Management at Home

Our expert carers can help you manage your medication as part of their caring duties. Many clients, due to their ailments and conditions, have a great number of medications to take daily.

What is medication management?

Medication management is a type of home care where carers are also responsible for helping with all aspects of medication management.They will not just take over your medication tasks. Instead, they will support you with any aspect of your medication that you or your loved one is finding difficult to manage.

Promoting independence is vital to ensure you or your loved one is kept as active and in control of your own care as possible. Both our live-in and home care workers are able to support you with your medication management.

Our highly trained and qualified carers can help you or your 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

Home care costs

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.
