ObjectivesGraduates of this program have the knowledge, skills, and attitude necessary to provide personal care and home management services to clients in both community and institutional settings. They interact with clients, families, and care/service team members.

They work under supervision and, as valuable members of care/service teams, provide personal care and home management services to clients who are experiencing physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural challenges.
Practical experienceThe practical components of the program will be taught on-site at each of the campuses with instructors/technologists present. All work placement components will be arranged at each of the campus locations.
