The CNA is a trained worker who provides in-home personal care and activities incidental to personal care for Agency patients while under the supervision of a nurse supervisor.

The CNA provides direct patient care and social support to homebound patients of all ages.  Direct personal care consists of those tasks related to the individual’s physical care such as bathing, grooming, dressing, feeding, and elimination.  The  CNA is trained to assist with the patient’s physical activity involving changing position in bed, ambulation, transfers, routine exercises, and the routine care of prosthetic and orthopedic devices.  They will also be responsible for those household chores incidental to meeting the patient’s personal care needs.  A nurse establishes and supervises the CNA plan of care.
