Care Homes
Care homes have specific medication and support requirements and here at Savages, we treat each home we work with as an individual.
A tailored medication supply
We can supply medication for your residents in a multitude of ways, all designed to suit your requirements. Original packs, weekly dossetts for more independent residents, racked time blisters – speak to us about having a system that is as unique as all your residents.
Custom MAR sheets
It can be difficult to complete an audit with a barely visible notes and signatures. Our MAR sheets are enlarged and colour coded to aid your carers in their important medication rounds. Have you considered an eMAR system? We are expecting these to become commonplace in the next few years so why not invest early with us and your residents will feel the benefit with reduced round times and easier auditing at the press of a button, giving you time to spend on other important tasks.
Visits from our pharmacist.
Many providers offer regular pharmacist visits to your home but how do you know their input is being fed back correctly to benefit your home? There is no ‘middle man’ with our service at Savages; the pharmacist that visits you is the same one that oversees the dispensing of your residents medication. Have you always wanted to try a new way of working but your current provider cannot change their policy for this? At Savages, our pharmacists write and review the instore policies, meaning we can adapt to change as quickly as your ideas spring to mind!
Friendly, personalised service.
We are a single pharmacy with a regular, dedicated team that will know your needs inside out. You will always know exactly who to speak to for any issues. We also love to become involved in any projects you have at your home – pharmacy teams are also expert bakers and crafters! We want to ensure you feel our community spirit whilst we work together and drive your home to outstanding CQC results for medication safety.
