  • Administer medications according to the Medication Observation Record (MOR) while ensuring resident privacy. Document all medication-related actions accurately and in compliance with Oaks Senior Living policies.
  • Respect residents' rights to refuse medication and ensure their safety during medication administration. Provide clear explanations regarding medications being administered.
