Medication at home in Solihull with Caremark
When medicines feel complicated or time critical, a little dependable help can make all the difference. Caremark Solihull provides medication at home in Solihull so you can stay safe, well, and independent. From 30 minute calls to live in care and support, from gentle reminders to full administration for complex routines, our local team follows clear, regulator-aligned processes while treating you with warmth, dignity, and respect.
Simple, safe support tailored to you
We keep medication management straightforward. Your Care Assistant arrives at the agreed time, checks your Medication Administration Record, confirms the right dose and route, and then prompts or administers as set out in your plan. Every visit includes safety checks, accurate recording, and fast escalation if something doesn’t look right.
- Timed reminders for routine tablets and time‑critical doses, including Parkinson’s medicines and antibiotics.
- Administration where assessed and agreed, such as measuring liquids and ensuring medicines are taken correctly with food or water.
- Help with eye drops, inhalers and spacers, topical creams and patches, and dissolvable or crushable medicines if authorised.
- Support to order repeats, collect prescriptions, and arrange blister packs or dosette boxes with your chosen local pharmacy.
Our approach aligns with CQC expectations and NICE guidance. Every Care Assistant receives medicines training, competency checks, and regular refreshers. We use robust MAR charts or secure eMAR to record each dose, refusal, or change, giving you and your family clear oversight and peace of mind.
Why families choose Caremark Solihull
We’re your local experts for medication at home in Solihull. Our DBS-checked Care Assistants know the area and work closely with GPs, community teams, and your local pharmacy. We invest in ongoing training across medicines management, infection prevention, mental capacity, and safeguarding, so your care is safe, consistent, and kind.
Life doesn’t run on a single timetable, so we fit around yours. Choose short visits for reminders or longer visits for complex routines, with options for multiple calls each day, from 30 minute calls to live in care and support. Weekend and bank holiday cover is available, and we respond quickly if your health needs change. With your consent, we liaise with prescribers to clarify directions and update MAR/eMAR promptly. If we spot side effects, missed doses, or potential interactions, we act quickly and keep you informed.
Working with your pharmacy and local services
Good care is a team effort. We coordinate with your preferred local pharmacy to manage repeats, deliveries, and blister packs. If you need urgent advice, we can help you check a pharmacist open on Sundays and signpost the Pharmacy First service where suitable. Pharmacy First can provide treatment for certain minor conditions without a GP appointment, which can save time and keep you on track with your medicines.
Whether it’s arranging a pharmacist open on Sundays for time‑critical items or making the most of Pharmacy First for quick guidance, we’ll support you to access the right help at the right time. Our aim is to keep you well at home and reduce avoidable trips and delays.
Getting started and pricing
We begin with a free home assessment anywhere in Solihull. A Care Manager reviews your prescriptions, allergies, daily routine, and preferred local pharmacy, then designs a personalised plan. We complete risk assessments for each medicine and route, set clear timings, and agree who to contact if there are concerns.
Pricing is transparent and based on visit length, time of day, and level of support (reminders, administration, or complex care). You’ll receive a clear quotation before anything starts, with no hidden fees. If your needs change, we adjust your plan and costs promptly and explain everything in plain English.

We support customers who are privately self-funding or arranging care through local authority funding and NHS pathways. We’re here to guide you through the options.
