Supporting Health, Safety and Peace of Mind
Taking the right medication at the right time is essential for maintaining good health, especially for older people and those living with chronic conditions. But as routines change or memory becomes less reliable, managing medication independently can become challenging — and even risky.
At All About Living, our Medication Prompting services offer a simple but vital layer of support to help you or your loved one stay on track with prescribed treatments. It’s a safe and effective way to support health, independence, and peace of mind.
Why Medication Prompting Matters
Even minor delays or missed doses can lead to complications, hospital visits, or a decline in health. Our trained support workers can provide gentle reminders and supervision to help ensure that medication is taken correctly and consistently.
We help by:
Prompting at scheduled times to take medication
Monitoring for changes in behaviour or wellbeing
Providing reminders in line with your care plan
Escalating concerns to a nurse or doctor when needed
Medication prompting is not the same as administering medication, which must be done by a nurse. However, it’s an essential preventative support that helps maintain daily routines and avoids missed doses.
Peace of Mind for Families
If you’re caring for a loved one, knowing that someone is checking in regularly to support their medication routine can be a huge relief. Families often worry about the risk of overdoses, underdoses, or confusion around prescriptions — especially when managing multiple medications.
Our Medication Prompting service provides:
Confidence that your loved one is supported daily
Less stress for carers juggling work, life, and care responsibilities
Early detection of changes in health or medication issues
Reassurance that support is consistent and reliable
Tailored to Your Needs
Medication prompting can be included as part of your Home Care Package (HCP) or accessed through the Support at Home Program starting 1 July 2025. Our team will work with you to ensure this service is part of your personalised Care Plan, based on your doctor’s recommendations and individual circumstances.
We also work alongside family members, case managers, and health professionals to ensure that care remains safe, respectful, and person-centred.
