long term care

Under the State of Florida, Certified Nursing Assistants can assist a patient when the patient squeezes the eye drop bottle. The caregiver can assist the patient by holding steady the patient's arm when they self administer the eye drops.

Light housekeeping is designed for a caregiver to maintain the cleanliness and walking path of the area in the home for their patient. Light housekeeping is wiping down the kitchen countertop after preparing a lunch and wiping down the shower door. Light housekeeping does not mean heavy scrubbing, moving furniture or cleaning out cupboards.
