If you or your loved one are taking medication – particularly a few different sorts – it can be challenging to manage.  

Many people find it difficult to manage medication. We can offer you or your loved one assistance to ensure the right medicine is taken at the right time. We can prompt, remind, or give full support by administering medication as needed and be there for extra support. 

What is on offer 

• Verbal prompts where the support worker will remind you each visit to take your medication. 
• Help to apply creams and/or eye drops etc. only 
• Full medication control where staff will administer all your medication to you and take away all the stress of remembering to take it on time, before or after food, or at a specific time.
