An Introduction to Medication Administration

When we think of medication, tablets, pills and syrup that we get from general practitioners often come to mind. However, there are many other routes to administer medication. One common example is insulin injection.

While it may seem like a simple process, it’s extremely important to get it right. Medical professionals are encouraged to aim for the following guideline when administering medication to avoid error: the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the right route, and the right time.

Common Issues with Medication Administration

For most of us, medication administration through oral and topical routes is quite manageable. We just have to make sure we take or apply the correct dosage — which is often indicated on the label attached — at the correct time.

However, certain groups of people may need additional support and reminders. For example, an individual with dementia may forget to miss their medication or take an extra dosage because they forgot that they’ve taken it before. Seniors with multiple chronic illnesses may also find it hard to keep track of their complicated medication schedule.

Injections, on the other hand, can be tricky to administer. Insulin injections are simple enough to administer but have to be taken at the right times, usually multiple times a day. Those undergoing regular IV therapy such as chemotherapy or sustained courses of antibiotics may also require professional assistance.

Medication Administration at Home

Pillboxes are one way to organise your medication, especially for seniors with multiple chronic conditions. For seniors with dementia, it will be best to have a dedicated caregiver to look after them and make sure they take the correct dosage at the correct time and frequency. Those who need help with injections and IV drip treatments can consider engaging home nurses.

If you need support, our multi-disciplinary team of caregivers, nurses, doctors and therapists at Homage can help to develop personalised holistic care and medication management plan for your unique care needs.

What our customers say

Help during the pandemic

The team has been sublime to work with albeit having to temporarily halt engaging them for care services due to the pandemic situation now in Malaysia. All teething issues in the initial phase of engagement were swiftly addressed and satisfactorily so. Special shoutout to Shirley from Homage who has been responding promptly to all my queries and requests (and went far and beyond my expectations with her actions in all counts).

Wong Voon Bing
Highly recommended care when I'm away

My father had a fall recently and sustained a hip fracture. Living overseas and not being able to travel back home to assist with recovery was very worrying. A friend recommended Homage to help with his nursing care. They are prompt in replying to messages. The care provided was excellent and highly professional. We have been very pleased with the service. There are times when we had to change the appointment time and they obliged and looked into our needs.

Anisa Aisha
Positive experience

Our experience has been very positive. So far, we have used their Care Pros perhaps 10 times (for checking in on mum) and she has been nothing short of kind and supportive. The coordinator Bel has also been a great help since day one. I find the price to be reasonable. Love the reporting feature on their app. You could see what has been done during the visit. It’s worth trying out.

Adelaine Yeo
My gratitude and appreciation

My 85-year-old mother, who underwent post-ventral incisional hernia surgery in January 2019 had CPs from Homage, all professionally trained, from leading Malaysian hospitals. The CPs nursed my mother with diligence, and compassion; providing invaluable tips on elderly caregiving to family members. My gratitude and appreciation to Team Homage.

Azwan Shahuddin
Definitely one of the best!

I had positive experiences with Homage so far. They are flexible, affordable, and professional. The coordinator from Homage has been very helpful and accommodating to my request since day one. Caregivers assigned to take care of my grandmother are punctual, professionally trained and attentive. Hope they will continue to serve well.

Kamilah Barvin
Comprehensive physiotherapy program

Homage has helped us a lot in assisting the recovery of our beloved father. They provide us with a comprehensive explanation regarding the physiotherapy program. The therapist they sent is highly qualified, courteous, passionate, and gave outstanding service. And above all, the charges are fair and affordable.

Farizal Anam
Guidance for my domestic helper

Thank you Homage for your assistance after my mom was discharged from the hospital due to dengue fever. Mom regained her confidence to take her first shower after discharge with the help of Homage's caregiver, something my domestic helper will not be able to do. Also to guide my domestic helper to handle her in a more hygienic way. My maid learned the proper method and able to give better care to mom now. Highly recommend it to people who looking for professional care services to manage family members who need help.

Overall a good team work

I want to thank Homage for their excellent service especially Ms. Ginger for her brilliant communication and customer service and for making the necessary arrangements. She does a good follow-up before and after the physio, also accurate feed-back. We appreciate Ms. Shu for her excellent physio service which made my mother gain confidence that she can walk again. Ms. Shu is very patient, hard-working, and committed to seeing my mum will be completely restored and healed. Thank you.
