Medication Administration

Home Care & Medication

A home carer can visit you or your loved one on a daily basis to ensure medication is being taken correctly. Medication administration is an essential part of any care plan, and our carers are trained in a number of medical problems and health issues which require specific medicines.

Anyone requiring assistance with medication will have a medication chart inserted in their file, which all care workers are trained to read and record details on each time medication is prompted or administered. All care workers at Novus Care have rigorous medication training and can manage a number of drugs and prescription medicines including dossett boxes, blister packs and the preparation of liquid medication. Carers also understand the correct approach to take when prompting clients to take medication, and explaining why it’s important.

Neglecting to take medication correctly, or an accidental overdose, can have serious consequences. Relatives and loved ones can find it difficult to contact someone repeatedly throughout the day to make sure they have taken their medicines at the correct dosage. A home care worker can incorporate medication administration into a daily visit, while undertaking other domestic tasks such as preparing meals or doing the laundry.
