Medication
Organisation
Remembering to take medication correctly isn't always easy. Especially for those individuals with a cognitive impairment. I can provide reminders over the phone or in person, pick up prescriptions, and assist in organising a dosette box if required.
I am unable to administer medications directly.
Companionship and Welfare Checks
It is well know that loneliness is common amongst the elderly population, and can have a detrimental effect on wellbeing. Companionship may mean something different to each individual, whether its a chat over a cup of tea, a walk outdoors, baking, or accompanying on appointments and trips out.....the list is endless!
