WHAT IS PERSONAL ASSISTANCE AND WHAT DOES AN ASSISTANT DO? Personal assistance is a service in which the assistant acts as the client’s hands and feet, carrying out activities the client would do independently but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The assistant helps the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. Assistance tasks are often ordinary daily activities that people also do in their own lives. The work does not therefore include tasks requiring separate qualifications, such as practical nurse training; anyone can work as an assistant. Tasks may include helping the client shop, go outdoors, eat or cook, get dressed, pursue hobbies or manage household tasks. WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS SUITABLE AS AN ASSISTANT? As the employer of several hundred personal assistants, we can say that people with the right attitude toward this important work are best suited to be personal assistants.
