Authorized Non-Medical Support

Medication Reminders

Simple prompts can support a routine without crossing into medication administration or clinical care.

What a medication reminder means

An attendant may give a verbal prompt at the scheduled time and may bring an already prepared medication container to the client when that task is authorized in the service plan.

The client remains responsible for taking the medication. Instructions must come from the client, an authorized representative, pharmacist, prescriber, or approved service plan.

What attendants do not do

Do not select, measure, prepare, or administer medication
Do not change a dose or schedule
Do not fill pill organizers
Do not evaluate side effects or provide clinical advice
Do not contact a prescriber or pharmacy unless an authorized non-clinical task permits it

Safety: For medication questions, missed doses, reactions, or side effects, contact a pharmacist or licensed healthcare professional. Call 911 for an emergency.

Support must match the authorization

The exact reminder task depends on the client’s program, service plan, and authorization. Contact Primetime to discuss non-medical personal assistance and the approved scope for a specific client.
