Outings and activities are planned with input from the individual and person's interests in mind.

4. Individual Support

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.

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.
