Home Delivery of Prescriptions

Many caregivers are unaware that pharmacies deliver. It is a great way to make sure your loved one is receiving the medications they need. I suggest calling the pharmacy you use at this time and ask them if they deliver. It usually does not cost extra for the delivery if you are within the delivery area of that pharmacy. There is a pharmacy in Lynnwood Washington "Hadfields Pharmacy" that has great customer service and all arrangements can be done over the phone and fax. Just call the pharmacy you currently use and speak to the pharmacist or manager and also ask about other services that might be helpful to you as a caregiver. Another great service many people don't know about are the daily dose prescription bubble packs. It is a small cardboard dispenser about 6"x9" and has each dose in single plastic bubble that can be punched out the back of the board as the dose is needed. The board generally comes with a 30-31 day supply. When you only have about a weeks dose left, you just call the pharmacy (some have special phone systems that handle orders from touchtone phones) and place your next months order. Another great reason for using a pharmacy with this type of system is that if you get a new written prescription from the doctor, it can be faxed right to the pharmacy and will be delivered that same evening or the next day. I am going to research some pharmacies that do deliveries and will post links on this page to help any of you caregivers out there that may not already have a pharmacy in place for your loved one. If you know of any pharmacies in your area with these or other great services, please let us know. Thanks!
