Homecare partnerships with your local pharmacy

One of the benefits of having a fully managed care service is the way that we can work with other health professionals such as district nurses, pharmacies and physios.  Often our clients are not able to visit their pharmacy and family members either live some distance away or find it difficult to make extra trips because of family and work commitments.  At Home Instead, we understand how important it is to make sure prescriptions are well managed and our care team are well-practiced at stepping to help manage this vital relationship with your local pharmacy.  This can be particularly important when in transition between hospital and home or if family members are on holiday.  Communication can be crucial at these times, and can be particularly difficult for people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, so clients find peace of mind in the fact it is all taken care of and by asking the right questions, we can help clients to understand what their medication is for and help them to manage it better.
