- Accompanying and supporting clients with appointments, errands, grocery shopping, and community activities
- Supporting mobility and safe movement within the home and community
- Providing companionship and psycho-emotional support
- Encouraging client independence while providing assistance where needed
- Observing and reporting changes in the client's physical, cognitive, emotional, or functional presentation
- Completing clear and timely documentation following each shift
- Communicating relevant concerns or changes to the Care Coordinator
