About Us
Care At Home Pharmacy is a home-service-based pharmacy. We do not have a front store, as we want to focus solely on delivering pharmacy needs directly to your home, emphasizing regular home visits by a personal pharmacist. It can be overwhelming to manage multiple medications and medical conditions, but we are here to help. .
Through the home visits, our pharmacists take as much time as you need to understand how to manage your health and medications properly. They will develop a close relationship with you and liaise with your doctor as medication or health-related problems come up.
We want you to live the best quality of life possible and help you avoid emergency visits and hospital stays. Ways in which we can help you take your medications safely and regularly include bubble-packing your medications or offering customized payment plans to make your medicines affordable.
Our Vision
- To provide convenience in medication management so you can achieve your healthcare goals, save time, and live your life.
- To be a life-long healthcare partner so we can help you prevent disease worsening and complications from arising.
- Supporting families & caregivers in managing their loved one’s health can be time-consuming and stressful.
