3. Dignity and Respect

In providing support, the CNA encourages individuals to make choices and decisions about areas that impact their lives. Activities in which individuals participate are to be of their choice and CNAs are there to support these choices. CNAs will treat individuals with dignity and respect and with sensitivity to an individual's feelings, wants and needs. Outings and activities are planned with input from the individual and person's interests in mind.

4. Individual Support

The CNA will give individuals opportunities to participate in their daily routine. However, the CNAs have the responsibility for all support necessary for individual functioning if the individual cannot complete the tasks thoroughly. Examples of such functions include, but are not limited to, assistance with bathing, grooming, arranging hair appointments, preparation of meals, and laundering clothes. CNAs will provide support and assistance to individuals in any employment setting in which they are placed.CNAs will assist individuals in maintaining appearance and dress appropriate for the occasion. Support is provided to the minimum degree necessary in order to promote the growth of independence.

Examples of such functions include, but are not limited to, sweeping, dusting, cleaning of bathroom fixtures, and bed making. CNAs are expected to take pride in the appearance of the facility and include individuals in house maintenance to promote training and independence. CNAs are expected to keep the exterior grounds of the facility free of trash, clutter, and cigarette butts. Any maintenance concerns will be reported to management.
