Medication Management
Our medication management service helps individuals take their medications correctly and on time. Our caregivers assist with organising, reminders and agreed administration support where this is included in the care plan, prioritising safety and clear communication.
How can we assist you?
We know that managing medications can be complex, particularly for those on multiple prescriptions or with specific dosage needs. Our experienced carers are dedicated to ensuring that agreed medication routines are followed accurately and safely, supporting your health and overall well-being.
Care professionals can give reminders, help with packaging and provide agreed administration support where they have been trained and assessed as competent for that task. They record support clearly and report concerns promptly to the appropriate manager or healthcare professional.
The exact support available depends on the care plan, the medicine and any instructions from the prescriber or pharmacist.
Medication management at Altrua Care
Whether you choose visiting care for just 30 minutes a week or 24/7 live-in care, medication support is agreed as part of your personal care plan.
Medication support is provided only when it is included in the agreed care plan. Care professionals complete role-appropriate training and competency checks before undertaking medication tasks.
We record the support provided and raise any concern with the appropriate manager, pharmacist, GP or community healthcare professional rather than offering clinical advice ourselves.
