A Handbook for the Home Care Aide

Revised in 2009 with an updated food guide pyramid and appendix with general guidance for use of the food pyramid.

 

This handbook is an invaluable reference for home care aides after they have completed their training.  It is not meant to replace or provide the basic training needed to become a home care aide.  The handbook provides an overview of the type of clients served in home care and the nature of their illnesses or disabilities.  As a quick, convenient review for specific skills required in home making and personal care, the handbook is indispensable.
