Tips for a Safe and Successful Home Infusion Therapy Experience

If you or a loved one is receiving home infusion therapy, reaching a successful outcome is the top priority—and Landmark Infusion is here to help you every step of the way. Our experienced clinicians are available to answer questions, provide guidance, and support you throughout your treatment. Below are some essential tips to help make your home infusion therapy as safe, smooth, and effective as possible. 

1. Make Safety Your Top Priority 

Your health and safety are always our main concern, especially during home infusion therapy. Here’s how you can help create a safe environment at home: 

• Set up a clean, clutter-free area for your infusion with ample space to work and move around. 

• Arrange furniture for easy navigation to help prevent trips and falls. 

• Keep pets out of the infusion area. Pet fur and dander can introduce contaminants that put your PICC line and medication at risk. 

• Post emergency numbers in an easy-to-find spot and ensure family or caregivers know how to contact your healthcare team in case of any issues. 

2. Don’t Skip a Dose 

Following your prescribed Plan of Care is essential to your healing. Missing even one infusion dose can reduce the medication's effectiveness and prolong your treatment. 

To stay on track: 

• Set reminders or alarms 

• Ask family or caregivers to help you stay accountable 

• Stay in regular communication with your healthcare providers 

3. Practice Infection Prevention 

Infection control is critical with home infusion. All medications are carefully prepared in a sterile environment—it's up to you to keep that same level of cleanliness at home. 

Here’s how: 

• Wash hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap before and after infusions. 

• Use alcohol swabs as instructed. 

• Keep your PICC line clean, dry, and intact at all times. 

• Report any swelling, redness, or discomfort to your nurse right away. Home health nurses will also assist with dressing changes and check for complications. 

4. Stay Connected With the Pharmacy 

Landmark’s pharmacy team is committed to keeping your treatment on track. Our customer-focused staff will check in weekly and are always available to assist. 

• Use our CITUS mobile app to easily communicate about medication refills, supplies, and deliveries. 

• Be sure to answer calls from Landmark so we can keep your treatment seamless and timely. 

5. Review Your Education Materials 

Education is key to confidence and success in your therapy. 

Every new patient receives: 

• A welcome folder with a handbook, laminated guide, and other helpful handouts. 

• Access to videos and downloadable guides tailored to your specific therapy needs.
