There are three levels of medication support. Level 1 is where the person receiving support self-medicates with guidance, Level 2 is where the carer administers medication and Level 3 is where carers administer medication using a specialist technique.
The important thing to remember is that you’ll never be given a ‘level’ as a person since it might well be that you’re able to take your pills, but you need help administering medicated cream.
That’s why it is important that your care plan is carefully considered and, where required, includes input from your doctor.
