What are caregivers not allowed to do?
In-home caregivers cannot do anything that would be described as clinical or invasive. They cannot administer any medications. If the client does need more than just reminders, then a loved one would have to manage the sorting of the pills and the schedule. If the client requires insulin, or other injections, these would have to be administered by the client or another trusted member of the family. A caregiver should also not be monitoring vitals such as blood sugar, blood pressure, etc.
