Medication Support Home Care Services
How do we support people with safely with medications at home?
All of our carers are qualified to administer and manage medication and prescriptions. Any medication we give is carefully documented and we always ensure that prescription directions are followed carefully.
It's hard for most service users to manage medication at home due to memory loss, poor eyesight, or complicated prescriptions and multiple medications.
We can make life a lot easier, but most importantly much safer by:
Correctly preparing and witnessing medication.
Documenting medication and holding accurate records.
Managing stock control.
Chasing & arranging medication deliveries.
Arranging medication reviews.
Handling medication storage and security.
MoralCare delivers comprehensive medication management services throughout Morecambe, Lancaster, Heysham, and surrounding Lancashire areas, providing safe and reliable medication support for elderly clients and those with complex medical needs. Our CQC-registered care team handles complete medication administration, including prescription ordering, delivery coordination, stock management, and MAR chart maintenance, working directly with GPs to ensure medication reviews are current and accurate. With advanced alert systems that immediately notify our registered manager of any medication refusals or missed administrations, we prevent dangerous overdoses and underdoses through strict protocols and professional witnessing procedures. Our medication management service extends beyond basic administration to include safe storage organisation, emergency medication support, and specialised care for clients with dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other complex conditions requiring precise medication timing. Each medication plan begins with a thorough assessment by our registered managing director during an initial home visit, ensuring personalised care that maintains client independence and dignity while providing families complete peace of mind knowing their loved ones receive expert medication support in the comfort of their own homes across Morecambe and the wider Lancashire region.
Restrictions
It is against our policy for us to administer from dosette boxes (see image). This is because with dosette boxes we don't know what medication is in them, the dose, the expiry, or if it is the correct drug. Blister packs prepared by the pharmacy are safe for us to dispense, as well as boxes from the manufacturer/ prescriber.
