A proposal put forth by the Ontario government will allow personal support workers (PSWs) to administer certain medications to long-term care residents,
prompting concerns from advocates who are worried about safety and overall accountability in the facilities.show the government is looking into allowing PSWs who have received training in drug administration to be able to provide long-term-care residents with non-controlled medication.
Calandra added that nurses are taking on a greater role in long-term care, so allowing PSWs to handle non-controlled medications will free them up to deal with more pressing needs. “The concern however, of course, is that in long-term care are often dealing with very complex health needs. So we're going to make sure that there's additional training and support for those types of medication management. All medications are not the same. And that means that not everyone should be able to get everything.”
