Q: Will the In-Home Aide give me my medication and insulin injections?
A: The In-Home Aide will remind you to take medication. The Client or a family member must prepare the medication dosage since the Aide is not allowed to take medication from the prescription bottle. This is also true with the insulin injection. The Aide may remind the Client to take the insulin but is not allowed to administer it. If the Client is unable, a family member may perform this task.
