Caregivers provide nonmedical service and assistance to a client in their home and community, who, because of advanced age or physical or mental disability, cannot perform these services. These services enable the client to remain in his/her residence. Therefore, the caregiver must feel comfortable caring for a client in a private home or setting. The Caregivers main objective is client satisfaction and safety for both oneself and for the client.

The Caregiver must have sensitivity for the needs of others, a professional manner, and a positive attitude. Aides are responsible for ensuring that service is delivered in a caring and respectful manner, in accordance with relevant Agency polices, industry standards, and state regulations. Aides needs to report on time to scheduled shift unless specific circumstances come up.

The Caregiver provides service to a client based on and limited to a client’s care plan developed by the RN, the client, and/or the client’s family. The care plan is based on an assessment of the client’s needs for services, developed in conjunction with a functional assessment and with the input from the client and/or client’s family. Caregiver services are tasks that are necessitated by a client’s disability or chronic condition that limits the client’s ability to perform functional activities or daily living (ADL’s) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL’s).
