  • 1. Homemakers and companions in Florida and Connecticut may provide hands‑on personal care and nursing services as long as they have completed first aid training.
  • 2. If a client is unresponsive and not breathing normally, the homemaker/companion should call 911 immediately and then notify the agency per policy.
  • 3. In both Florida and Connecticut, the homemaker/companion role focuses on providing a safe environment, companionship, housekeeping, and reporting changes in the client’s condition, not on providing medical treatment.
  • 4. After a serious fall where you suspect a head, neck, or back injury, it is best practice for a homemaker/companion to help the client stand up to check if anything is broken.
  • 5. Connecticut is moving toward requiring homemaker‑companion workers to complete structured training, including first aid and recognizing changes in a client’s condition, within a defined period after hire.
  • 6. In Florida, homemaker‑companion staff must receive training in infection control and HIV/AIDS as part of ongoing regulatory compliance.
  • 7. Homemakers and companions should follow the Check – Call – Care approach: check for safety and response, call 911 when there are emergency warning signs, and provide simple, non‑invasive assistance within their training while waiting for help.
