Job Summary:
West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing, Inc is seeking a Medication Aide to provide a range of services related to the supervision of residents in self-administering their medications. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the Medication Supervisor to enable residents to live permanently at West 108th Street as safely and independently as possible.
Responsibilities:
Medication Administration:
Ensure that all medications are administered according to medication orders and in compliance with all applicable New York State Department of Health (DOH) and Office of Mental Health (OMH) regulations. When assisting with medication administration, carefully watch each resident, assuring that the right resident is taking the right medication in the right dose at the right time by the right route.
Medication Storage:
Ensure that all medication is stored appropriately in original labeled container, in accordance with safety requirements. Refrigerated medications should be stored in refrigerator, oral medications stored separately from topical medications, controlled substances stored in double locked box, medication room always locked when not occupied by staff, medications in resident rooms stored according to DOH/OMH regulations.
Medication Orders:
Ensure that no medication is dispensed without written orders from the prescribing practitioner. Documentation of medication orders should be accurate and up-to-date. In the event of telephone order, ensure that written Confirmation of Telephone Order has been sent to the physician and that a copy is maintained in medication files. Corrections to the Medication Administration Register (MAR) should be made in ink, and correction fluid or cover-labels should not be used in the MAR. Any changes to the medication order should be tagged on the prescription bottle, but the prescription label should not be altered.
Documentation of Medication Administration:
Ensure that all medication administration is documented by the individual assisting with administration and follows all applicable regulations. In the event of resident absence or resident refusal of medications, ensure that this absence or refusal is documented in compliance with all applicable regulations.
Medication Supply:
Ensure that there is an adequate supply of medications on hand for each resident. Specifically, in the event less than 3 day supply of medication, order refill, send in new prescription, or refer problem immediately to the assigned caseworker.
Medication Changes:
Changes should be made only when there is a prescribing practitioner's written order, or when there is a Confirmation of Telephone Order in place. If there is a new medication prescribed, ensure that the pharmacy gets the prescription and delivers new medication. If there is a medication with dosage change and the actual pill changes, ensure that pharmacy gets the prescription and delivers the new medication (making sure to pull the supply of the previous dosage). If there is a medication with a dosage change, but no new prescription (for example, the doctor changes the order from 2 pills twice a day, to one pill twice a day), the MAR should be changed to reflect the change and ensure that the prescription container is tagged with the change.
Incontinence Supplies:
Assist residents with monitoring and management of supplies used to assist with incontinence issues. Work closely with outside providers, insurance companies, pharmacy, Fleming House Social Service and PCA staff to ensure that residents are receiving proper amounts of supplies at appropriate times.
Medication Updates:
Create/collect/maintain all Medication Update forms related to resident appointments with outside providers. Ensure that all information related to medical appointments is properly disseminated to appropriate caseworker.
Additional Responsibilities:
Supervise the personal hygiene and physical well-being of the residents. Assist residents as needed in activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, walking, and other personal care needs. Monitor to ensure that residents are eating meals regularly each day. Assist residents in using the dining room, participating in activity programs, and joining in the life of the residence. Escort residents to medical and other appointments as directed, including visiting residents who are in hospital. Assist kitchen staff as needed in meal preparation, serving, and clean up. Assist housekeeper/porter as assigned, including participating in recycling activities and laundry. Travel for errands to stores, clinics, and offices as directed.
Other:

Communicate with staff about resident progress, needs, and problems with other staff. Attend training sessions and conferences as required for enhancement of job skills. Submit all required reports in a complete and timely manner. Assist with other duties as directed. Assist in matters of personal care that contribute to the health and safety of the resident community.
Qualifications Expected:
