N.M. Admin. Code § 8.370.15.37 - PROGRAM SERVICES
A. The
boarding home must be able to provide oversight to the residents, such as
reminding them of meals, medications and appointments and monitoring activities
while on the premises of the boarding home.
B. Each resident shall designate a personal
physician and dentist to be called in case of emergency. In the event that the
resident does not have a personal physician or dentist, the boarding home may
assist the resident to make necessary arrangements to secure the services of a
licensed physician or dentist as needed.
C. Boarding homes shall provide assistance
with certain instrumental activities of daily living and assistance with
accessing or the coordination of community services, including but not limited
to:
(1) coordinating travel to and from
appointments;
(2) assistance with
communication or technology devices;
(3) assistance with applying for services or
employment;
(4) limited assistance
with self-administered medication for the individual who is capable to
self-administer their medication or treatment, but may need cues, reminders or
prompts or assistive technology to self-administer their medications. It may
include assisting (if needed) with opening of a medication container for the
resident and other assistance not involving medication administration. If
limited assistance with self-administered medication is being provided, the
resident retains all responsibility for taking their medications. Limited
assistance with self-administered medication is not the same as "assistance
with taking medication" or "medication administration" which require a
registered nurse or a certified medication assistant (CMA) under RN supervision
who follows board of nursing regulations to perform.
