Did you know…

It’s in my service agreement that if the triboard cancels bus transportation to/from/day - I do not travel for service visits. This is largely due to my insurance policies and for the comfort, care and safety wellbeing of my clients.

Another consideration is that driving in extreme weather places can cause an enormous amount of stress, anxiety and discomfort on both driver and passenger.

Please monitor weather updates closer to your next service visit as will I. If an appointment falls on this visit, it would be best to reschedule close to. I will always contact my clients around 0600 when triboard makes their announcement to inform them what the outcome for the day will be.

Thanks to all my clients and their families for a lot of patience and grace this season as we navigate this unprecedented winter we’re experiencing!!

🧐 There has been a lot of confusion lately on what a PSW can/can’t do in terms of ✨light house keeping✨ vs when it is time to hire a housekeeper…

At the initial meet and greet with me, expectations on assistance with light housekeeping are discussed.. washing walls and windows, sweep/mop/vac each floor/room, cleaning multiple bathrooms and dusting is unrealistic in a typical PSW visit and would fall under hiring a housekeeper. Without laundry OR care, the listed items would easily take an experienced housekeeper (and with no care/respite) several hours.

What PSWs CAN do per OPSWA: dishes, laundry, sweep/mop/vac floors. This can read vague, but it acts as a guideline to the limitations of our scope, and better informs clients/client families. PSWs are expected to first and foremost provide care, comfort, companionship and be the eyes and ears for loved ones that cannot be there themselves. A limited amount of light housekeeping can and will be provided if and when time allots it. Light housekeeping duties are also completed if and when the care for the client is completed and/or safe to do so.

❗️Please note that arrangements should be made ahead of time to allow for a longer scheduled visit to complete care, laundry, and light housekeeping if needed.

Ps - laundry, dishes, light housekeeping is to be only directly done for the client 😅

Thanks for understanding 🩷
