Care, Nursing & Residential Homes
We offer services to Care, Nursing & Residential Homes meeting current guidelines for handling medicines. We provide a wide range of Dosette Boxes, to fulfil the need of the home.
As a responsible healthcare provider, we understand the high importance of Safe and Accurate Medicine Administration, whatever the size of the Care Home organization. It is also understood and recognised the time constraints facing the staff to provide care to their patients; which is why we commit to work in close partnership with Care Homes, establishing their individual needs and tailoring a complete support package to help the Care Home staff meet current guidelines for handling medicines. This is all done by providing safe, secure and efficient systems for administering medicines in order to help Care homes meet best practice to achieve Care Quality Commission (CQC) requirements. Below are the services we can offer your home.
1
Expertise and Support:
We work closely with Care Homes to help them choose a system that works for them, providing advice on every step; from storage and training assistance to support with ethical issues.
2
Dispensing Systems and Tools:
There are many dispensing systems available, including a choice of Multi-Dose and Unit-Dose; as well as a traditional dispensing service to meet the needs of every Care Home.
3
Repeat Prescription Management (ordering medication process):
We offer a script management service which ensures that every Care Home will have the correct medication available at the right time.
4
Medication Administration Records Sheets – MARs Charts:
MARs Charts will be provided for all medications supplied to the Care Home, including monthly and acute items. The MARs Charts will contain a specific time of administration for each medication e.g. 08:00pm.
5
Acute Medication:
Medications such as antibiotics will be attempted to be delivered the same day as we receive the prescription.
We will agree with the Care Home to a daily cut-off time for the supply of interim/acute/emergency prescriptions, providing that we have the item(s) in stock, it will be delivered the same day.
6
Waste Management:
We can arrange collection of all waste medications for Care Homes.
