Patient Care services

➢Patient care assistants should naturally have a desire to care, serve and help people. They need to anticipate the patient’s requirements and plan accordingly. This means they must be good at listening to what a patient says and need to recognize the behaviors and identify the needs of the patients.
➢ They should be well organized and should be able to prioritize handling the range of assigned duties skillfully.
➢Another essential skill is being able to help patients handle the basic tasks of day-to-day life. A good assistant knows how to perform or help with tasks to make the patient feel safe, supported, and capable.
➢Patient care assistants need to be aware of the patient’s medical condition and requirements. They should be able to recognize and report abnormalities and changes in a patient’s health status to family members and the necessary doctors or caretakers. This means they need exceptional attention to detail to notice subtle differences with their patients from day to day.
➢Another important quality required for a patient care assistant is good people skills. This field demands dealing with people all day long, including patients, nurses, doctors, families of the patient, and other medical experts. The assistant needs to keep a calm and clear head, even if the patient is irritable or stressed. Not everyone will be in their best mood in cases of medical emergencies.
