Assistance with managing and taking medications play a crucial role in ensuring that individuals adhere to their prescribed medication regimens. Medication management is especially important for those with complex medical conditions, multiple medications, or memory impairments. Homecare providers help individuals take their medications safely and on schedule, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall health outcomes.

Here’s how we can assist with managing and taking medications:

 Medication Reminders:

We can provide timely reminders for individuals to take their medications according to the prescribed schedule.

 Medication Organisation:     

We can help organising medications into weekly dosette box or set up medication schedules, making it easier for individuals to keep track of their medications.

 Medication Administration:

We can assist with medication administration. This includes giving oral medications, applying topical medications and administering eye drops.

 Monitoring Side Effects:     

We will monitor for any side effects or adverse reactions to medications and report them to the appropriate healthcare professionals.

 Recording Medication Intake:

We will document when medications are taken using our Log My Care EMAR (Electronic Medication Administration Sheet), helping to maintain an accurate record of medication adherence.

 Medication Safety 

We can ensure that medications are stored properly and securely to prevent accidental misuse or access by unauthorised individuals.

  Adherence Monitoring:  

We can monitor medication adherence and report any patterns of missed doses or noncompliance the relevant health professional.
