The Medication Assistant (MA) serves as a caregiver who provides resident‑centered nursing care and daily living assistance to assigned residents under the supervision of a charge nurse. The MA delivers age‑appropriate care related to the physical and psychological needs of residents per the plan of care. Responsibilities include assisting with basic health care needs such as bathing, toileting, grooming, dressing, obtaining and recording vital signs, and providing psycho‑social support and other personal care.

The MA may assist residents in transferring, re‑positioning, and walking using appropriate transfer techniques and equipment, and performs range of motion and passive exercises. The MA completes tasks related to food preparation and dining, creating a positive dining experience, and may assist with meals and snacks. The MA administers prescribed medications as delegated by a licensed nurse within state regulations, documents outcomes related to care, medication administration, behavior, activity, and dietary, and communicates changes in condition or concerns to the charge nurse.

The MA also collects non‑invasive body fluid specimens, gathers vital signs, provides housekeeping and laundry services, assists with wellness and recreational programs, and encourages resident participation.
