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.

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. 16.12.5.10 NMAC.
