home health aide

CPR is required for all caregivers referred by Accountable Home Care, Inc. by the State of Florida.  Records of CPR training is maintained by our nurse registry.  A copy of the caregiver's CPR card (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)(CPR) certification from an instructor or training provider that is approved to provide training by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or the Health and Safety Institute stays in the caregiver's file.

Caregivers have the discretion to drive a client to a doctor's appointment or any errand in their own vehicle. This is considered part of the care requirement at the initial assessment where the caregiver who accepts the case is aware of the transportation request and agrees to get reinbursed a set amount for mileage reinbursement.
