About Us
Transforming Sandycove Drug Store has been a journey towards enhanced services, combining technology, sustainability, and patient-centric care. In September 2017, recognizing the potential for growth and improvement, we embarked on a significant renovation and expansion, which reached completion in the fall of 2018. Our pharmacy transformed from 700-square-foot into a spacious 2500-square-foot facility, allowing us to address the evolving needs and challenges faced by our older adult clients and patients who cherish their independence while residing in their own homes. They rely on us not only for prescriptions but also for a wide range of services tailored to their unique needs.
We take pride in being attuned to the evolving needs of our older adult patients, ensuring that our offerings go beyond the conventional pharmacy experience and Frontshop merchandise. We prioritize patients well being and embracing the expanded scope for pharmacists, we offer services such as vaccinations, injections, minor ailment assessments, prescribing, disease management and medication review. We offer daily delivery on both prescription and frontshop merchandise. Our staff acts as personal shoppers in person or via telephone, providing this service free of charge In 2022, our significant financial investment in Automated Compliance Packaging robotic technology became pivotal in our ability to respond to the growing needs of patients requiring compliance packs, especially given the widespread labor shortages post-pandemic.
Sandycove Drug Store is not just a place to pick up prescriptions; it’s a hub of community engagement and heartfelt interactions. Whether you seek expert advice, a warm smile, or a listening ear, we welcome you to experience the blend of professionalism, care, connection, compassion and community that defines us.
