Reliable, punctual attendance for both daily windows is an essential function of this role

Identify and immediately report any missed doses, refusals, adverse reactions, or medication discrepancies to clinical/nursing staff. Conduct brief wellness checks during each medication pass window as applicable. Provide crisis intervention, de-escalation, and conflict resolution as needed during the medication pass. Communicate effectively with clinical, medical, and administrative teams to ensure continuity of care between medication passes.
