What Can A Caregiver Not Do?

One of the most important things a caregiver can do is make sure their clients take their medications as prescribed. However, there are a few things a caregiver cannot do when it comes to medications. A caregiver cannot give medications of any kind to a client. This includes over-the-counter medications and vitamins.

Second, a caregiver cannot mix medications for clients or fill their daily med minder box. Third, a caregiver cannot give advice about medications. Finally, a caregiver cannot perform a medical assessment or provide medical care.

While these limits may seem restrictive, they are in place to protect both the client and the caregiver. By adhering to these guidelines, our caregivers ensure that their client receives the best possible care.
