What It’s Like To Work In The Personal Care Assistant Field
A personal care assistant is responsible for tending to the daily medical needs of patients who are either convalescing at home, or are recovering in a long-term care facility. A personal care assistant also helps with daily tasks such as making meals, cleaning a living area and organizing the patient’s personal items. A personal care assistant follows instructions from medical professionals on the care of patients and contacts emergency medical personnel if there is an issue. A personal care assistant is not a medical expert and does not act in any kind of medical capacity.
