Limitations of Personal Care

LIMITATIONS OF PERSONAL CARE. This is a brief audio course about the importance of knowing Limitations and delineating the types of services that can be provided by a Personal Care Worker (PCW). Bonus: PCW Self-evaluation Skills Checklist.

This program is a review of examples of limitations where skilled home health care would be needed to meet higher needs of the consumer. This is an eBook that covers licensing standards and the scope of functions and tasks for Personal Care Workers. Each PCW must demonstrate competency in performing each of the tasks listed. Non-medical, Class B home care agencies (HCA) are under no obligation to offer all of these tasks and services. But if the HCA offers the service, Administrators must assure that the clients’ needs are appropriately met and that the person providing such personal care services is competently and safely performing the functions and tasks specified in the consumer’s plan of service.

Universal Precautions

This non-audio course presents Universal Precautions, which is required annually for workers of Skilled and Non-medical Home Care Agencies. Bonus includes Step-by-step competency test: Apply and Remove PPE. 2 CEU

Video program with former CDPHE Surveyor Laura Neill. The goal of this workshop is to provide an indepth review of Part 6 and Part 8 of Chapter 26 using the Non-medical Management perspective.

It is easy for managers and staff to mistake nuances in regulations while distinguishing between skilled and non-medical operations. As the Manager, you teach your staff as well as clients and their family members in understanding the differences between skilled and non-medical care in terms of when each type of care may be needed, costs involved and resources available so they can make informed care decisions.
