Safety is our number one concern. In order to provide the utmost level of quality non medical home care support for families, a registered nurse from Accountable Home Care reviews the medications for which assistance is to be provided. The review of medication is conducted by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse to ensure that the referred CNA or Home Health Aide are able to assist in accordance with their training and with the medication prescription.
