FAQs
Questions about medication management
What kind of medication support do you offer?
Support is tailored to your needs. It can range from reminders and help opening packs, through to nursing support where clinical input is needed. We’ll agree the right level of support with you when we build your care plan.
What happens if my medication changes?
Let us know as soon as your GP or pharmacist changes your medicines, and we’ll update your care plan. Questions about the medicines themselves should always go to your GP or pharmacist.
Is medication support covered by Support at Home?
Under Support at Home, help with taking medication can be provided as part of personal care, and nursing care is a separate clinical service. What you can receive depends on your assessment and approved services. Private clients are also welcome. Learn more about Support at Home.
