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.

What does Activities of Daily Living mean?
Activities of Daily Living and Senior Care
Activities of Daily Living is a term used when discussing care for the elderly or the disabled. Activities of daily living are duties a person needs to do in order to be safe. As we age, care may be required to help a family member or a patient called ADLs. ADLs are referred to as "activities of daily living" which includes bathing, dressing, continence, eating, toileting, and/or transferring.
Using a Long Term Care Policy for Personal Care Services
When a patient opens a claim with a long term care insurance company, care time sheets/notes must reflect activities of daily living as qualifiers. A change in medical condition often times requires a caregiver in a home for an elderly family member. At Accountable Home Care, we offer flexible hours designed to meet your lifestyle. Whether you need daily care or short term respite, Accountable Home Care in Palm Beach Gardens is here for you and your family.
