Personal Support Worker with CCHST
A Personal Support Worker (PSW) in Canada is a caregiver who assists people with daily personal care needs as they deal with the effects of ageing, injury, or illness. A PSW works under the direction of a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN).
CCHST’s curriculum adheres to the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) PSW program and is based upon the Ontario Personal Support Worker Training Standard released in October 2014.
The range of services provided by Personal Support Workers depends upon each person’s individual needs they support or the organization that employs them. According to seniors living-in-place or long-term care facilities, almost all PSWs’ direct support is personal care, such as dressing, personal hygiene, mobility, and other routine activities of living. PSWs working privately or in a person’s residence can provide home management, such as shopping, assistance in house cleaning and meal preparation, family responsibilities such as routine caregiving to children, and assisting with social and recreational activities.
