Canadian Acts and Regulations - ANSWER PSWs have a role standard which
says "personal support workers do for a person the things that the person would
do for themselves, if they were physically or cognitively able".
There is a great deal of variation around the kind of care PSW's provide, with
some PSWs providing medical care such as changing wound dressings and
administering medication, and others providing 'only' personal care such as
bathing, transfers from bed and housework. What PSWs can and cannot do varies
based on their training, supervision and employer policies.
