- PRN (As Needed) Medications: Administering medications based on each participant’s condition and monitoring their effectiveness.
- Medication Storage: Safeguarding medications by storing them correctly, including refrigeration for temperature-sensitive prescriptions.

Medication Monitoring, Record-Keeping, and Side Effect Management
Safe and effective medication management goes beyond administering prescriptions. It’s also about keeping participants healthy, informed, and supported every step of the way. At Ability Aid Support, our dedicated team in Melbourne ensures your medications are monitored with precision and handled with care.
- Monitoring for Side Effects: Carefully observing and promptly reporting any adverse reactions, such as rashes, dizziness, or digestive issues, to keep participants safe.
- Effectiveness Assessment: Regularly tracking each participant’s response to medications, such as monitoring blood sugar for diabetic care or pain levels for pain relief.
- Medication Reconciliation: Reviewing all medications during care transitions (e.g., hospital discharge) to prevent duplications, errors, or harmful interactions.
- Incident Reporting: Documenting and reporting any medication errors or adverse events quickly and responsibly.
- Record-Keeping: Maintaining detailed, up-to-date records of medication schedules, dosages, and responses to support ongoing care and safety.
