# Model is nearly unidentifiable: very large eigenvalue

I'm fitting a generalized linear mixed model using glmer() and I'm getting a warning that I don't understand:

> glmerOut <- glmer(cbind(MissedMeds_N, TotalAdministrations) ~ RegisteredBeds + Ratings + month_id + (1|FacilityKey), family = "binomial", data = df, na.action = "na.omit")
Warning message:
In checkConv(attr(opt, "derivs"), opt$par, ctrl = control$checkConv,  :
Model is nearly unidentifiable: very large eigenvalue
- Rescale variables?

As this is just a warning, can I ignore it?

Here's a model summary:

- Rescale variables?

My goal is to evidence a decline in the ratio MissedMeds_N:TotalAdministrations for month_id and this model appears to support that with significance, but the warning message is throwing me. I don't think I can scale my variables? If I can rescale, which variables do I even need to rescale? Predictors or responses? Or both? Here's my data structure:

> str(df)
Classes ‘tbl_df’, ‘tbl’ and 'data.frame':   3766 obs. of  6 variables:
$FacilityKey : int 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 ...$ RegisteredBeds      : int  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ...
$TotalAdministrations: int 5681 5138 4424 4600 4250 4434 4503 4001 4164 20691 ...$ MissedMeds_N        : int  335 332 323 330 325 330 330 310 299 NA ...
$month_id : int 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 4 ...$ Ratings             : Factor w/ 4 levels "1","2","3","4": 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 NA ...

There is a very similar problem here and like the poster of that question, I'm a bit lost in ?convergence and optimizers and this wasn't fully addressed in the answer, and I don't fully understand the answer itself anyway, and I don't have a high enough reputation to comment.
