Medication support at home: what families should know

Missed or doubled doses are one of the most common worries families raise. Medication support at home can make routines safer and simpler.

Levels of support

• ✦Prompting — a reminder to take medication
• ✦Assisting — help opening packs or getting a drink
• ✦Administering — a trained carer gives medication as agreed in the care plan

Keeping records

Every visit is recorded, so you can see what was taken and when. If anything looks wrong, we'll raise it with you and, where appropriate, your GP or pharmacist.

Getting started

We'll talk through current medications during your assessment and agree the right level of support together.
