| Annotation | Twenty-five interviews were conducted (18 clients and 7 family caregivers) to identify what clients and caregivers considered to be the most important dimensions of personal care provision. Respondents were generally satisfied with their current aides (care assistants). However, there are unmet needs, including care at additional times of the day or week, also problems, particularly aides arriving late. The most common problems reported from past experience with previous aides included those who arrive late, did not show up, or who were viewed as "lazy". Eight important dimensions were identified, including having aides who are reliable, honest, easy to be around, and who possess a good knowledge base. (KJ/RH). |
