Start Caring: Your Path to PCA Certification
Arleigh Hatcher • July 30, 2025
Build a rewarding future by providing compassionate care where it matters most.
If you're looking for a fast, meaningful way to enter the healthcare field, becoming a Personal Care Aide (PCA) might be the perfect path. PCAs are essential to supporting individuals with daily living tasks—and the demand for compassionate caregivers has never been higher.
So what exactly does PCA training include, and how can you get started?
🧼 What Do Personal Care Aides Do?
Personal Care Aides help clients maintain independence and dignity in their own homes or in assisted living settings. Their duties include:
Assisting with bathing, dressing, and grooming
Helping with mobility and transfers
Preparing meals and assisting with feeding
Providing medication reminders (note: PCAs do not administer medications)
Offering companionship and emotional support
It’s a role that blends skill, empathy, and reliability—making a real impact in someone’s day-to-day life.
📚 What to Expect in PCA Training
Most PCA training programs are state-regulated and include a minimum of 40 hours of instruction. These programs typically cover:
Infection control and hygiene
Client safety and emergency response
Communication and documentation
Respecting client rights and cultural differences
Orientation to working in home care or assisted living
Training often ends with a final exam or skills assessment, and may include CPR certification.
📝 Important:
Each state has its own licensing or registry requirements. Be sure the program you choose is recognized in your state.
