What is a private duty nurse registry?
A private duty nurse registry is a company which provides referrals to patients for skilled and/or non-skilled nursing services.It is important to do your research when choosing a registry for the care of you or your loved ones. In many cases, registries only carry liability coverage for their office staff. This may put clients at risk for litigation or liability if an injury or incident occurs in their home.

Assistance with self-administration of medication involves placing an oral dosage of medication in the resident’s hand or placing the dosage in another container and helping the resident by lifting the container to his or her mouth.
This is a practice commonly used in many assisted living facilities. Medication reminders are simply reminding a client to take their medication. Medication reminders can be performed by a unlicensed person. Assistance with self-administration of medication must be provided by a licensed CNA or Home Health Aide, who has received additional training to perform this service.
