PERSONAL CARE AIDE
$500.00
The GCTI Personal Care Aide Program is a 40 hour, introductory program. Our program is designed to put you directly into a career as a Personal Care Aide, fully preparing you for your rewarding new career
A Personal Care Aide cares for patients in the home. Their work enables the elderly, disabled, and ill patients to live in their own homes rather than in a health care facility. With their help, patients can spend less time in the hospital, which not only reduces health care expenses, but also allows a patient to enjoy the comforts of their own home.
The primary role of the PCA is to perform assistive duties, such as range-of-motion exercises, personal hygiene, grooming, transfers, and proper positioning of the patient. Their work sometimes includes light housekeeping chores, such as shopping, cooking and light cleaning.
Skills Lab provides our students with hands on training to monitor vital signs and learn necessary documentation skills needed to work confidently in any situation. We use a variety of live models and teaching aides to provide a well rounded experience.
