Comprehensive medicication assistance...
Medication assistance refers to the support provided to individuals in managing and administering their prescribed medicines. It's a crucial aspect of care, especially for those who might find it challenging to keep track of or physically administer their medications. Horizons can help! Whether it's directly administering the medication or assisting clients in doing it themselves, our trained professionals ensure that medicines are taken accurately and on time. Furthermore, by working closely with pharmacies, Horizons Homecare tries to ensure that prescriptions are always up-to-date and reordered promptly, eliminating any potential gaps in medication schedules. This holistic approach ensures that clients receive consistent and accurate medication support, promoting their overall well-being and health.

Taking Medication Can be Confusing
Medication can easily become confusing, especially for people taking several prescriptions at different times of day. In England, an estimated 237 million medication errors occur each year, often linked to complex schedules, small-print labels, and changing prescriptions. Blister packs, while designed to help, can sometimes add to the confusion when doses or timings aren’t clear. For those living with memory loss, poor eyesight, or reduced dexterity, managing medicines safely can feel overwhelming, which is why clear routines and professional support are so important.
Support with Medication...
It's no lie that managing medications can be somewhat stressful for us. With new medicines being prescribed all the time and long queues at the pharmacy. Our staff are comprehensively trained in house by a specialist training coordinator or manager with an emphasis on safe medication administration and assistance for those who wish to continue administering it themselves. We can also help with ordering your repeat medication to mitigate any chances of it not arriving on time.

Our core values...
The foundation of our success
Kindness
We believe that being truly kind isn't a skill, and it certainly isn't something you can learn. Being kind by nature is who you are!
Thats why we only employ, train and nurture those who are truly kind and caring towards other people. Not only does this belief form our recruitment process and decisions, it has become one of the foundations of our business.
Punctuality
We firmly believe that routines are what keep us as people, independent. Why should that change just because you require support at home?
Punctuality is another foundation of our business, and it means that when you become a client of Horizons, you will always know when your care team will be arriving. No more care workers being late, and no more missed visits.
Continuity
Something we have always been very eager to improve is the quite possibly the biggest 'flaw' in social care services today. Continuity...
After all, we wouldn't want our loved ones seeing a different person at every care visit, so why should you have to put up with it?
This is why you will have your very own team of care workers that really understand you and your routines. Your history, your family and your hobbies.
Family
The word family, encapsulates everything that we stand for, but unlike others who say they are a family run company. We truly are!
From our HCAs to our clients, we are all one family striving for better outcomes and happier lives. This is why family is not only a core value, but the bricks and mortar we build the foundations on.
