Companionship Care<\/h3>\r\nThere are times when you may need a \u201ccompanion\u201d who assists with activities like shopping, transportation to appointments, and daily tasks that do not require \u201chands on\u201d care. In North Carolina, companions are not permitted to provide hands on assistance with things like ambulation, transfers, toileting, bathing or other personal care that requires them to actually \u201ctouch\u201d the client. \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n

In-Home Aide Services<\/h3>\r\nAn In-Home Aide is someone who is passionate about providing hands-on care for our elderly clients. Our RNs observe the In-Home Aides in our classroom, ensuring that they demonstrate competency performing personal care tasks. An In-Home Aide may provide all types of physical assistance except that involving oxygen, tube feedings, or indwelling catheters. We encourage our In-Home Aides to take the Certified Nursing Assistant course.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA)<\/h3>\r\nIn North Carolina, CNAs are certified through a rigorous six week course where applicants are tested on written materials and required to perform a demonstrated skills exam. A CNA may assist with oxygen, catheter care, incontinence assistance, bathing, grooming, transfers, medication reminders and tube feedings. CNAs may work in private homes, Independent Living Communities, Assisted Livings, and Skilled Nursing Homes. They can also be hired to stay with individuals during hospitalization to ensure their safety in unfamiliar and temporary surroundings.\r\n
