HOW IT WORKS
Care Homes
We provide complete peace of mind by managing medications for all your residents safely and effectively.
How we helped one care home
A case study from more than a year ago.
A 30 bed home approached us with a crisis on their hands.
- They were receiving prescriptions from 6 different surgeries, all at different times.
- Prescriptions were collected from 8 different pharmacies, all at different times.
- They struggled with putting away and monitoring the medicines that came in.
- High staff turnover meant less expertise and more errors in medicine management, which was potentially dangerous for residents.
The newly appointed management team got in touch for help, and we set up this plan:
- We arranged a cycle of delivery dates with the care home team.
- Discussed the situation with the GPs, and asked for prescriptions for residents of the home to be synchronised.
- Provided our colour coded and easy to use personalised medicine charts for all the residents. We were delighted to see how much the staff loved the consistent and simple charts.
- Provided medicine trays (dossets) if clinically suitable for the residents, with colour coded lids coordinated with their personalised medicine chart for simplicity and safety.
