This practical course offers students the opportunity to acquire personal care and assistance skills within the parameters of the HCA role. The course is comprised of class, supervised laboratory experiences and supervised experience in a long term care facility. The aim of this course is to assist the student to integrate theory from other courses to develop care-giver skills that maintain and promote the comfort, safety, and independence of individuals in community and facility contexts.

Due to Covid-19 this course has been revised and may continue to change upon direction of the college.
