Medication Assistance
Our medication assistance service is here to help you with everything related to your medication. We can pick up your prescriptions from the Pharmacy, remind you of the times you need to take your medication and administer your treatments.
What does Medication Assistance Service Include?
Medication assistance service in homecare is designed to assist individuals who have difficulty managing their medications independently.
Here's a breakdown of the services typically included in homecare medication assistance:
- Reminders and prompts
Caregivers can remind you to take your medications at the scheduled times.
- Dosage assistance
For some medications, caregivers can help measure or administer the correct dosage (depending on regulations and the individual's needs).
- Refill coordination
Caregivers might help you keep track of refills and reorder medications when needed.
- Communication and Monitoring
They can report any medication-related concerns or side effects to your doctor or pharmacist.
Who will benefit from Medication Assistance?
Homecare medication assistance offers a range of significant benefits for individuals who have difficulty managing their medications on their own.
It is a good option for people who:
Forget to take medications
This can be a problem for people of all ages, but it’s especially common among older adults or those juggling multiple medications.
Have difficulty administering medications
Some medications require specific techniques or may be difficult to take independently due to physical limitations
Need help managing complex medication schedules
Having multiple medications with different dosing frequencies can be confusing.
If you or your loved one is taking medication regularly, especially of several kinds, it can become difficult to keep track of the correct dosage, when to take it, and when to refill the prescription. PentaCare can assist in organising prescriptions and ensuring the right medication is taken at the right time.
At PentaCare, we’ve invested in cutting-edge technology to provide you with a reliable and accurate care plan. Our Electronic Medication Administration Record System (eMAR) keeps a detailed record of your medication, including any changes. Our trained carers also assist with GP-prescribed medication and handle the collection or delivery of prescriptions from the Pharmacy.
