About medication reminders

What it usually involves

Prompting your loved one to take their medicines at the right times, checking the pack, and noting if a dose is missed.

How a self-employed carer can help

Reminders and prompts as agreed with you. They can't change doses or make medical decisions. Whether they do more, such as handing over tablets or applying creams, is agreed directly with them, depending on their experience.

Have you helped someone with their medication before?
How would you record that tablets were taken?
What will you do if a dose is missed or refused?
Are you happy to be around pets?

Helpful guides

Questions families ask

What's the difference between a reminder and giving medication?

With a reminder, the carer prompts and your loved one takes it themselves. Giving medication means the carer handles it. Agree which, and write it down.

Can the carer help with repeat prescriptions?

Many will. The pharmacy or the NHS App can make ordering easier, with your loved one's agreement.

Is it free for families?

Yes, completely. We never take a cut of what you pay a carer or cleaner.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
