What are the Duties of a Direct Care Staff

Direct Care Staff assist their clients with eating, toileting, light housekeeping and dispensing medications. They help clients achieve the activities of daily living, such as maintaining good hygiene and dressing themselves, or assist with more complicated instrumental activities of daily living, such as shopping, cooking and doing laundry. They might assist their clients in securing and managing their health care, obtaining and using transportation, managing their finances, and securing doctor’s appointments. Some clients need help writing letters to their loved-ones, while others need to be provided with recreational and social opportunities.

Other duties may be assigned.


Duties or related vary. You can ALWAYS refer to HHS or DADS Texas.
