What is the primary goal of a PCA during client interactions?

The primary goal of a PCA during client interactions is to promote the client's independence and well-being. This involves supporting clients in their daily activities, encouraging them to make choices, and facilitating their ability to perform tasks on their own as much as possible. Fostering independence enhances the client's self-esteem and quality of life, allowing them to engage fully in their everyday activities.

By prioritizing the client's independence and well-being, a PCA not only provides physical assistance but also emotional support, contributing positively to the client’s overall health and happiness. This focus aligns with the core mission of personal care assistance, which is client-centered care that respects individual needs and promotes autonomy.
