Persönlicher Betreuer hilfs- und pflegebedürftiger Menschen


Explanation:
Was this a question?
I found this description: "The Personal Support Worker program is designed to give you the opportunity to develop those skills required to provide personal support services to consumers and their families, clients and residents in the community, at home, and in long-term care facilities and institutions. Services provided by the graduate include assistance in daily living activities, personal care and hygiene, restorative/activation and home management activities.
While persons trained as personal attendants or personal support workers are expected to use judgement in responding to the needs of their clients, they are not expected to diagnose, assess or to respond to acute or unexpected situations (beyond any emergency assistance which might be required)."

Just a proposal:

Wenn ich es richtig verstehe, geht es nicht nur um \"Kranke\".
\"Personal\" weist vermutlich darauf hin, dass sich der Arbeitsplatz nicht im Krankenhaus befindet. Daher wäre wohl auch

\"Pflegepersonal für häusliche Pflege\" möglich.

agree  Steffen Walter: würde hier zustimmen, aber könnte es sein, dass es hier um die Hauspflege geht (= Pflege Hilfsbedürftiger in ihrem eigenen Zuhause)?
