Ensuring the proper and timely intake of medications is crucial, especially for individuals facing vulnerability, frailty, dementia, or memory problems. At EdenCare, we recognise the unique needs of our clients and offer specialised Medication Assistance services to promote health and well-being. Our approach is designed to address the complexities of polypharmacy, different dosages, and varied medication schedules, with a strong emphasis on harm avoidance through safe medicating practices. We have implemented robust staff training and audit processes to uphold the highest standards in medication administration.
Tailored Medication Support:
Taking multiple medications with different schedules can be challenging, and our team of dedicated professionals is here to help. Our Medication Assistance service is tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring that each client receives their prescribed medications promptly and accurately. This service can be seamlessly integrated into other care services we provide, offering a comprehensive approach to overall well-being.
Support for Various Medication Frequencies:
Whether medications are prescribed weekly, daily, or multiple times a day, our carers are trained to assist in ensuring adherence and compliance. This is particularly vital for individuals with memory problems, dementia, or those facing frailty. Our goal is to provide the necessary support to make certain that every medication is remembered, included, and taken as prescribed, all while prioritising harm avoidance.
Polypharmacy Management with Dosset Boxes and Blister Packs:
Managing multiple medications, known as polypharmacy, demands a systematic and well-coordinated approach. At EdenCare, we take pride in our close collaboration with community pharmacies, GPs, and discharge teams in hospitals to gain a comprehensive understanding of each client’s medication regimen. Our carers are well-equipped with the knowledge and expertise to manage polypharmacy effectively. This includes the utilisation of dosset boxes and blister packs, which not only promote adherence but also minimise the risk of complications. We ensure that our clients receive their medications in an organised and convenient manner, further enhancing the safety and efficacy of their medication management.
Collaboration with Healthcare Professionals:
We understand the importance of collaboration with healthcare professionals in providing holistic care. By working closely with community pharmacies, GPs, and discharge teams, we establish clear communication channels to stay updated on any changes in medication plans. This collaborative approach enables us to adapt our Medication Assistance service according to the evolving needs of our clients.
Ensuring Memory and Dementia Support:
For individuals dealing with memory problems or dementia, medication assistance becomes even more critical. Our carers undergo specialised training to handle the unique challenges associated with memory-related conditions. We approach each client with empathy and patience, ensuring a positive and supportive environment during medication administration.
Robust Staff Training and Audit Processes:
Harm avoidance is a top priority at EdenCare, and our robust staff training ensures that our caregivers are well-versed in safe medicating practices. Regular audits are conducted to evaluate and enhance our medication assistance procedures, maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in every aspect of care.
