The CMA is responsible for the proper administration of medications in compliance with state regulations and Oaks Senior Living policies. This position involves delivering personalized care, responding to emergencies, and safeguarding residents' rights to safe and confidential treatment.

  • Preferred supervisory experience in healthcare or service industries.
  • Must possess a Certified Nursing Assistant Certificate.
  • Must hold a Georgia Certified Medication Aide Certificate.
  • Good standing with the Georgia CNA/CMA Registry is required.
  • Proficiency in English (reading, writing, speaking).
  • Friendly and caring attitude with a passion for working with older adults.
  • Minimum age of 21 years and a satisfactory criminal history check.
  • Physical examination by a licensed physician and a negative drug screen are mandatory.
  • Able to respond effectively in emergency situations.

Key Responsibilities

Resident Care Services

  • Follow each resident's Negotiated Service Plan and report any changes in condition to the appropriate personnel.
  • Respond promptly to resident calls for assistance.
  • Seek guidance from the Executive Director or Wellness Director regarding medication administration or treatments when uncertain.
  • Assist with meal service and oversee caregiver staff in the dining area, ensuring cleanliness post-meal.
  • Implement infection control measures by adhering to standard precautions and proper waste disposal protocols.
  • Foster positive relationships with residents and their families.
  • Address resident emergencies according to established procedures.
  • Help develop and maintain caregiver staff schedules that meet residents' needs and ensure adequate staffing.

  • Encourage teamwork and exemplify the Oaks Senior Living philosophy.
  • Maintain an open-door policy for staff to discuss concerns or grievances.
  • Keep CPR & First Aid certifications current.

Medication Management

  • Adhere to the six 'rights' of medication administration (right resident, right drug, right dosage, right time, right route, right documentation) consistently. Verify these rights at three critical points: when retrieving the medication, just before administration, and immediately after.
  • Administer medications as per the Medication Observation Record (MOR) while ensuring resident privacy. Document all medication-related actions accurately following Oaks Senior Living policies.
  • Respect residents' rights to refuse medication and ensure their safety during administration. Clearly explain the purpose of medications to residents prior to administration.
  • Monitor residents for adverse reactions to medications and report any concerns to the Wellness Director or Executive Director without delay.

Communication

  • Participate in all staff meetings and mandatory training sessions.
  • Effectively communicate residents' needs to caregiver staff during shift changes, following Oaks Senior Living policies. Report any changes in residents' conditions or concerns to the Wellness Director or Executive Director.
