• Personal hygiene, mobility, preparing meals and taking essential medication are elements

of daily life that most people take for granted, but there are many individuals who are

unable to perform these tasks independently.

• The personal support worker (PSW) is the front-line care provider whose responsibilities

focus on the provision of personal care and support that include activities of daily living

with client populations across all institutional, community care and service settings.

• PSWs provide compassionate, client-centred care to enhance and maintain the quality of

everyday life.

• Within this program I have intensively studied Anatomy and Physiology, Mental health

challenges, Communications and Interpersonal skills, Health promotion and

Development across the life span.
