Respite care

  How do you handle med administration in cases of respite care?

In our agency, our respites go to a variety of sites. For those unable to self-manage their medications, they receive respite services at a site where staff are med certified and inserviced on their medications. For those that are able to self-administer, they may respite in a site with a bit less support, but staff do not pass the medications. We tailor the respite site to the individual and the supports that are available.
