Practical support, arranged around the person.
Where appropriate, our support worker can provide an agreed reminder at the expected time so the person can manage and take their own medication as usual. This is a reminder service rather than medication administration or clinical medication management.
What this can include
- Verbal reminders at an agreed time
- Encouraging the person to follow their own established medication routine
- Recording that a reminder was offered where this has been agreed
- Following an agreed contact plan if a concern arises, with appropriate consent
Who this may suit
- Adults who normally manage and take their own medication
- People who would benefit from a simple reminder as part of a wider support visit
- Families seeking additional reassurance around an established routine
