If my loved one is having unusual pain such as a headache or a sore back, can they request a pain reliever such as Tylenol or Aleve? What about Tums?

Any medication we administer to the resident must be on their Medication Administration Record (MAR). Please ensure we have a doctor’s order on file if you believe your loved one will need a specific medication frequently. Please note, residents on our Medication Administration Program are not allowed to keep medication in their rooms unless ordered by a doctor.
