    Personal Care Aid Services are designed to help clients with normal daily activities and monitor the medical conditions of functionally impaired/disabled clients. The kinds of activities that the aide performs are comparable to those that family members would perform for the person in need. PC aides provide assistance with walking, bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, preparing meals, and feeding. The aide also helps to maintain the home environment, including light cleaning, laundry, shopping, and keeping the home safe. The client’s vital signs, such as respiratory rate, pulse rate, and temperature, are observed. The aide may also remind the client to take prescribed medication(s) and, when necessary, transport and/or escort the client.

    PCA aides work under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in the client’s home.

    Under no circumstances may a PC II aide perform any type of skilled medical service.
