Medication Reminder From a Home Health Aide / CNA
Safety is our number one concern. In order to provide the utmost level of quality non medical home care support for families, a registered nurse from Accountable Home Care reviews the medications for which assistance is to be provided. The review of medication is conducted by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse to ensure that the referred CNA or Home Health Aide are able to assist in accordance with their training and with the medication prescription.
State of Florida Requirements for Self-Administration of Medication
The patient or the patient’s surrogate, guardian, or attorney in fact must give written consent for a home health aide or C.N.A. to provide assistance with self-administered medications. Be sure to discuss your concerns and challanges with a team member at Accountable Home Care today.

Testimonials View All
We retained Accountable during a very emotionally trying period in our mother’s life after she became very ill and could no longer live alone. Accountable provided services to our mother for approximately 1 year. Although it is very difficult to bring a caregiver into the home of a person who has been independent for her entire life, Accountable was very sensitive to our mother’s needs and concerns. They worked with us to find professional, qualified caregivers to care for our mother. We would recommend Accountable to anyone in need of professional, qualified and sensitive caregivers for part-time or full-time care.
