Career Area of the Week:
How about a HOME HEALTH AND CARE AIDE? HOME HEALTH AND CARE AIDES help the elderly, ill and persons with disabilities live in their own homes instead of in a health facility. Most aides work with clients who need more extensive care then family or friends can provide. Home health and care aides provide health-related services, such as giving oral medications under physician’s orders or direction of a nurse. They provide personal care services such as bathing, dressing and grooming clients. They assist clients in and out of bed and help with simple, prescribed exercises.
Federal law requires home health aides to pass a competency test covering areas such as communication skills, observation, reporting and documentation of patient status, reading and recording vital signs, basic infection control, emergency procedures, the physical, emotional and developmental characteristics of patients, personal hygiene and grooming and basic nutrition.
If you did not have your picture taken the first time (Oct 30) then you can take your picture (and purchase a packet) on December 11th. You must bring $ with you on the 11th.
If you took your picture on October 30 and you are unhappy with the pictures, then you may do retakes on December 11th. HOWEVER, you must return all the pictures you previously purchased or retakes are not allowed.
Don’t forget to stop by the office and see the PVMS clothes we are selling. The last day to order is THIS FRIDAY. Be sure to purchase yours so you can show your Royal spirit. All money must be turned in no later than Friday, December 4th. You may pick up an order form in the office.
