Support for staying on schedule
Multiple prescriptions and different dosing times can be difficult to remember. When medication reminders are included in an approved service plan, a caregiver can provide non-medical prompts at the appropriate time and report concerns according to agency procedures.
Reminder support may include
- Verbal reminders to take medication according to the prescribed schedule
- Encouragement to follow established routines
- Reminders that a prescription may be running low so the client or family can take action
- Observation and reporting of missed reminders or concerns according to the care plan
- Coordination with other approved personal assistance routines
Who may benefit?
Reminder support can be useful for eligible seniors, people with disabilities, clients with memory challenges, or anyone whose authorized plan includes assistance staying consistent with daily routines.
