In Home Aide and Caregiver Respite

The Contractor is expected to assist older adults by performing personal care tasks essential to activities of daily living, with some home management tasks possibly included as incidental to the personal care. Such personal care and home management tasks are performed to enable individuals to remain in their own homes when they are unable to carry out these activities for themselves and when no responsible person is available for these tasks. Additionally, assistance will be provided with these tasks for individuals who have a family caregiver residing with or assisting in the home. The in-home aide service will allow the caregiver to take a much-needed break and tend to other tasks or responsibilities. The Contractor is obligated to provide these in-home aide services for the Agency in accordance with the requirements of the N.C. Division of Health Service Regulation and the service policies and procedures of the NC Division of Aging and Adult Services found at https://www.ncdhhs.gov/documents/files/homeaide-policies-and-procedures/open covering such areas as aide competency, training and oversight, assessment and service planning, service priorities, and documentation and quality assurance.
