Medication Management Without the Headaches

Paper MARs get lost, are hard to read, and give you no warning when something goes wrong. ALChartsPlus eMAR keeps every medication record organized, signed, and ready for inspection — without requiring your staff to learn complicated software.

Medications, Insulin & Treatments in One Place

No more juggling separate systems or paper logs. Manage every medication, insulin dose, and treatment from a single screen.

Flexible Medication Schedules

Set medications to daily, weekly, or monthly frequencies. The system guides caregivers through what needs to be given and when.

Health Monitoring Tasks

Attach related evaluation tasks — blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse checks — directly to a resident's medication record.

Electronic Signatures

Caregivers sign off digitally on every administration. No guessing who gave what or when — every dose is timestamped and attributed.

Historical Signature Records

All electronic signature records are stored and retrievable. When a surveyor asks for documentation, it's right there.

Customizable MAR Printouts

Print medication administration records and resident profiles in a format that works for your facility and your inspectors.

Easy for Staff to Learn

Caregivers don't need to be tech-savvy. The eMAR walks them through each med pass — what's due, for which resident, and when — and they give the medication and sign. Training is included in setup, so new hires can run a med pass on their first shift.

Paperless eMAR

Replace paper MAR sheets, binders, and end-of-month rewrites. Every administration is signed electronically and stored automatically, and missed doses are flagged instead of discovered weeks later. When you need paper, print a MAR in the format your inspectors expect.

eMAR for Group Homes

Group homes and adult family homes often have one caregiver on shift handling everything. ALChartsPlus keeps the med pass simple enough to fit around the rest of the day, and it runs in a web browser on the phone, tablet, or computer you already have — nothing to install.

eMAR for Memory Care

Residents with dementia need consistent, well-documented medication routines. Attach health monitoring tasks like blood pressure or pulse checks to a medication, and keep a full signature history so you can see exactly what was given and by whom across every shift.

eMAR Pricing

The eMAR is included in every plan — along with care planning, ADL tracking, and staff scheduling. No contract, no per-user fees, and a one-time $50 setup fee that includes training.

Why eMAR Matters for Your License

Medication errors are one of the most serious risks in assisted living — and one of the first things surveyors look for. Paper records create gaps: missed signatures, illegible handwriting, lost sheets.

With ALChartsPlus eMAR, every administration is recorded digitally, signed electronically, and stored automatically. You're always prepared — not just hoping everything is in order.

eMAR FAQs

What is an eMAR?

An eMAR is an electronic medication administration record — the digital version of the paper MAR. It tells caregivers which medications are due and records who gave each dose and when, with an electronic signature.

What are the advantages of eMAR in assisted living?

Fewer medication errors, no illegible handwriting or lost sheets, and alerts when a dose is missed. Every administration is signed and stored automatically, so your records are ready when a surveyor asks.

What’s the easiest eMAR for staff to learn?

Look for one that simply shows caregivers what’s due and lets them sign it off, without a lot of screens to navigate. ALChartsPlus is built that way for small communities, and training is included in setup.

How much does eMAR software cost?

ALChartsPlus starts at $55/month for up to 4 residents, with a one-time $50 setup fee. The eMAR is included in every plan along with care planning, ADL tracking, and staff scheduling.

Does it work for group homes and memory care?

Yes. ALChartsPlus is used by group homes, adult family homes, and small assisted living communities, including those caring for residents with dementia. It runs in a web browser, so there’s nothing to install.
