Spotlight on Certified Medication Aides – Unsung Heroes of Long-Term Care

Certified Medication Aides don’t always get the recognition they deserve – but at Care NW Staffing, we see you, we value you, and we want to shine a light on the essential work you do every day.

Whether you’re passing meds with precision, monitoring residents for changes, or offering a calming word in a moment of stress, Certified Medication Aides bring both clinical skill and human connection to the heart of long-term care. Your role requires focus, patience, and compassion – and it directly impacts quality of life for the people you serve.

In long-term care and skilled nursing facilities across Oregon and Washington, our partner teams rely on Certified Medication Aides not just to administer medications safely, but to be observant, thoughtful, and team-oriented. You’re often the ones who catch subtle shifts in behavior or health, speak up for residents who need extra support, and help ensure consistency in care – especially on per diem shifts.

We know it’s not always easy. The pace is fast, the expectations are high, and you’re often juggling multiple responsibilities at once. But your work matters deeply. Families sleep better at night knowing someone like you is on shift. Nurses and care teams count on your follow-through. And residents feel the difference when they’re cared for by someone who sees them as more than just a name on a med pass list.

To every Certified Medication Aides working with Care NW Staffing: thank you. You are a critical part of the care team – and we are proud to work alongside you.
