At Kinship Crew, we understand the critical importance of medication oversight in delivering exceptional live-in home-based care. As we prioritize the safety and well-being of our clients, our caregivers provide vital services that ensure clients take their medications on time and as directed while upholding state regulations governing non-medical care.
What Our Caregivers Are Allowed to Do
Our caregivers are dedicated to providing medication assistance through diligent oversight and compassionate support within the parameters set forth by Illinois state standards for home care. While they are not permitted to dispense or administer medications, they play a crucial role in guiding and assisting clients with their medication routines.
Assistance Through Reminders and Cues
As part of our commitment to ensuring medication adherence, our caregivers offer essential cues and gentle reminders to help clients stay on track with their prescribed dosage schedules. From prompting them at designated times to organizing medications within reach, our caregivers facilitate a safe and reliable system that supports consistent medication intake.
Support with Handling Medications
Our caregivers are trained to offer valuable assistance in various aspects of handling medications. This can include helping clients open pill bottles, handling pillboxes, or providing helpful aids such as a tablespoon of applesauce for easier swallowing. By offering practical support and reassuring assistance, we aim to ensure that clients can take their medications effectively and comfortably.
