Ensuring Safe and Timely Medication Management
Taking prescription medications may seem simple enough, but as we age we start taking more medications and supplements. For those who struggle either physically or mentally to keep up with their normal daily activities, even taking medications can add a level of complexity. It’s okay to get help! We admire those who can reach out and accept help before medication management becomes a bigger issue.

Nurse Delegation
Some clients may require assistance with administration of medications. In those situations, many of our caregivers have training called “Nurse Delegation.” That means that a licensed nurse may delegate certain tasks to caregivers who have completed this training. This can include medication administration and diabetic blood sugar/insulin monitoring.
