"I'm convinced that med admin at group homes is one of the Nine Levels of Caregiving Hell."

Scarry! Psych meds have to be so precise. It's not like giving Colace...

I agree this oversight is part of caregiving hell, if I didn't enjoy the folks I work with so much the med techs would send me running out the door. Over the years though, we really have had 2 significant errors from med techs that resulted in ER visits but luckily no prolonged harm done. At least they caught their errors immediately and reported it for quick intervention which saved lives. The techs however were teminated for breaking policy.
