Managing medications can become challenging for older adults. With multiple prescriptions, different doses, and specific schedules, it’s easy for anyone to feel overwhelmed by the demands of medication management. At Comfort Care At Home, we provide reliable medication support services across Kingston Upon Thames, allowing your loved one to receive essential medication assistance in the comfort of their own home.
Our team of trained care professionals are here to ensure that your loved one takes their medications on time, at the correct dose, and in the safest manner possible. Our dedicated support reduces the risk of missed doses and other medication-related complications.
Our medication support services are designed to meet your loved one’s individual needs, whether they require occasional reminders or more intensive assistance.
Here’s an overview of how our team can help your loved one stay on track with their medications.
Your loved one may need additional help with ordering, preparing or organising their medications. Our care professionals can create a medication plan with your loved one and assist them with adhering to it. They can also offer support with ordering repeat prescriptions, as well as sorting out and storing medications. This ensures that your loved one has the medications they need when they need it.
Whether your loved one needs prompting to take their medication or help to administer their medicines, our care professionals can support them with all sorts of medication care needs.
Communication is a key part of our medication support services. Our carers can regularly update family members on their loved one’s medication adherence and notify healthcare providers of any potential concerns. This collaborative approach ensures that your family member receives comprehensive support.
Our care professionals are trained to observe for unusual reactions or side effects. If any concerns arise, they promptly inform the family and relevant healthcare professionals, helping to prevent complications and adjust medications if necessary.
With Comfort Care At Home, you can trust that your loved one’s medication support is compassionate and professional. Our goal is to make daily medication management easier, safer, and more reliable, allowing clients to live comfortably and independently at home.
For older adults, managing medications can become increasingly complex. Many people take multiple prescriptions daily, each with specific timing, instructions, and potential side effects. Missed doses or incorrect administration can lead to serious health complications, especially for those with chronic conditions or memory challenges.
Medication support from trained carers helps minimise these risks by ensuring that medicines are taken as prescribed. This consistent, reliable support can significantly improve overall health outcomes, reduce hospitalisations, and promote peace of mind for both you and your loved one.
At Comfort Care At Home, we prioritise both safety and compassion in every aspect of our services. Our team of care professionals is trained to assist with medication management and build meaningful, trusting relationships with your loved one.
Here’s what makes our approach to medication support stand out.
Qualified, experienced carers. Our carers undergo thorough training in medication safety, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to handle complex medication regimens.
Tailored care plans. We customise each client’s medication support plan to fit their specific needs and preferences, ensuring they receive the right level of support for their unique situation.
Transparent communication. We believe in keeping families informed. Our team provides regular updates so you’re always aware of how your loved one is doing with their medication regimen.
Safety and dignity. Our approach emphasises safety, dignity, and independence. We ensure that there are no contraindications when a new medication is prescribed and that the GP prescribes the correct dosage of medication. We also ensure that the chemist has dispensed the correct medication. We support your loved one in a respectful, caring manner that prioritises their comfort and autonomy.
Yes, care professionals with the appropriate training can administer most prescribed medications to your loved one. However, there are certain medications that only a registered healthcare professional, such as a nurse, is authorised to administer such as insulin.
Carers can also provide reminders, prepare medications, and oversee self-administration to help individuals stay on schedule with their medication plan. At Comfort Care At Home, our carers are fully trained in safe medication practices and follow all guidelines to ensure your loved one’s medication support is handled correctly and responsibly.
A medication care plan contains specific information about your loved one’s health conditions that are being treated and what medications they need to take. There will also be details about what format the medication is in, such as liquid or tablet, and at what time of day they need to be taken.
A medication management plan describes how your loved one is taking their medication, who is responsible for administering it and who is responsible for ordering repeat prescriptions and disposing of unwanted medicines. As part of the plan, your loved one’s capacity is assessed to understand whether they can manage their own medication or whether they need support.
