Please note that per NY State, Advocates' employees cannot administer medication.

If the person receiving services cannot administer their own medication and a family member or natural support is not available to administer medication, the person receiving services/designee should work with their Care Manager to identify a service that can administer medication outside of Advocates' service hours.

The only exception to this may be emergency life-saving medication such as an epi-pen, with training and oversight by a medical professional.

Please reply to this email if you have any questions.
