Let's discuss your loved one's needs and build a personalized care plan. No cost, no obligation.
We ensure the right medication is taken at the right time, every time—removing the stress of complex schedules and preventing dangerous mistakes.
As we age, prescriptions often multiply. Managing different pills for morning, noon, and night—some with food, some without—can quickly become overwhelming/confusing. Missed doses or accidental double-dosing are serious health risks.
Chelsea Homecare takes this responsibility off your shoulders. Whether your loved one simply needs a gentle reminder or full assistance with administration, our caregivers follow strict safety protocols to ensure health stability and adherence to doctor’s orders.
By the time people reach an advanced age.
From simple reminders to full administration support.
For seniors who are independent but forgetful, we provide prompt reminders to ensure they take their pills on time, every time.
If your loved one struggles with shaky hands, vision loss, or confusion, we can physically pop blister packs and hand them the water and medication.
We monitor supply levels and head to the pharmacy to pick up refills before they run out, so there is never a gap in care.
We maintain detailed Medication Administration Records (MAR charts), logging every single dose taken, so family and doctors have a clear history.
If we notice side effects or if a prescription is running low, we communicate directly with healthcare providers to resolve the issue quickly.
Beyond pills, we can assist with eye drops, ear drops, applying creams, or putting on support stockings as prescribed.
Let us handle the schedule so you can focus on quality time.
We understand choosing care for loved ones is a big decision. This section answers questions about our services, caregivers, and approach to elderly care.
Generally, our caregivers are trained to support oral medications, creams, and drops. Injections and invasive procedures are typically handled by district nurses, though we can support you in arranging these visits.
Our caregivers are trained to encourage and explain the importance of the medication gently. However, we cannot force a client to take medicine. If refusal persists, we immediately notify the family and/or the GP for advice.
Yes. Safety is paramount. We use Medication Administration Records (MAR sheets) to log the time, date, and dosage of every medication assisting. This log is available for families and medical professionals to review.
We highly recommend using “dosette boxes” or pharmacy-filled blister packs, which organize pills by day and time. This is the safest method. We can work with your local pharmacist to get these set up for you.
Part of our service is inventory management. We check supplies regularly and will alert you or the pharmacy well in advance when a refill is needed to ensure there is no break in treatment.
Yes. In these cases, we switch from simple “reminders” to “full administration,” where the caregiver stays with the client to watch them swallow the medication to ensure it is actually taken and not discarded or hidden.
We go beyond basic tasks to provide care that feels like family.
Every caregiver undergoes rigorous background checks, reference verification, and in-depth training.
We build a custom care plan based on your specific medical needs, preferences, and lifestyle.
From 1 hour a week to 24/7 live-in support, our schedules adapt to your changing needs.
As a community-focused provider, we know the area and connect you with local resources.
No hidden fees. We walk you through the costs upfront so you can plan with confidence.
We keep open lines of communication with family members, so you never have to worry.
