  3. Ensure timely transportation for clients to various appointments and activities.
  4. Administer medication according to agency policies, conducting daily audits as required.
  5. Prioritize the safety of clients, taking all necessary precautions to protect them from harm, and orient them on security and emergency procedures.
  6. Maintain communication with client families and coordinate community resources to meet individual needs.
  7. Encourage active participation in leisure activities chosen by clients.
  8. Interact with clients respectfully, ensuring they are never subjected to any form of abuse or neglect.
