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.
Questions worth asking
- 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?

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.
