Medication Reminders: Frequently Asked Questions

Can a caregiver give my parent their medication?

Non-medical caregivers do not administer medication. They remind your parent when a dose is due, confirm the right medication and dosage are taken as prescribed, track the schedule, and pick up prescriptions so nothing runs out. If your parent needs medication administered, such as injections, IV therapy, or medication they cannot self-administer, a licensed nurse from our private nursing or Medicare-certified skilled nursing team can be added to the plan.

Will you tell me if my parent misses a dose or has a side effect?

Yes. Caregivers log each reminder, note any missed or refused doses, and report side effects or changes in condition to the family and to our nursing team. Families also have access to a password-protected family portal and can set up a communication plan with their Client Care Manager based on their preferred frequency and method of contact.

How does a medication reminder visit work?

The caregiver follows the medication schedule set up at the start of care, prompts your parent at the right times, confirms the dose was taken, and records it. Reminders can be part of a short check-in visit or built into a longer visit that also covers meals, personal care, or companionship.
