What Is the Role of a Personal Care Assistant?
Jun 12, 2024 | ABLEize
Living comfortably sometimes means leaning on the support from others, especially during times of need. That is why personal care assistants have become essential, especially for individuals who need help with their everyday tasks because of age, illness, or disability.
Personal Care
One of the primary responsibilities of a personal care assistant is helping with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. They also prepare meals and provide mobility support.
Health Monitoring
These personal care professionals remind clients about their medications, monitor their vital signs, and record any changes in the client’s condition.
Emotional Support
Aside from helping clients with activities like housekeeping and meal preparation, these assistants offer social interaction and engage them in recreational activities to combat loneliness and depression.
Collaboration with NDIS and Support Coordinators
For those under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), a PCA can work closely with a support coordinator to develop and implement a care plan that meets the client’s specific needs.
