We remind. We never give the medicine.
Our caregivers do not hand out pills, open pill bottles, or change doses. Only a nurse or another licensed medical worker can give medicine. We are a non-medical agency, and this rule protects your loved one.
What the caregiver does
- Reminds on schedule: morning, midday, evening, bedtime
- Watches: notes whether each dose was taken
- Warns about refills: tells family when medicine runs low
- Builds a routine: ties doses to meals or bedtime
- Keeps family in the loop about missed doses
- Writes it down: notes go in every shift report
Who this helps
- People who take several medicines a day
- People with memory loss: reminders stop missed or double doses
- People with new medicines after a hospital stay
- People who live alone, with no one to notice a missed dose
