Medication Administration

The Medication Administration course prepares caregivers to handle med pass safely and confidently in real-world care settings. Taught by an adult family home operator with more than 20 years in long-term care, the class goes far beyond simply reading labels.

We cover types of medications, common routes, documentation, timing, and how to reduce errors. Participants learn to read orders, follow the "five rights," and recognize red flags that need a nurse or provider's attention. Practical practice with mock med pass builds skill and comfort.

Special focus is given to adults with physical disabilities, who often have multiple prescriptions, pain regimens, or specialized dosing schedules. We discuss communication with pharmacies and families, storage requirements, and what to do if a dose is missed or refused.

For caregivers in Milwaukee seeking to meet employment requirements or strengthen their skills, this Medication Administration course supports safer care, better health outcomes, and greater trust from the families you serve.
