Personal and Home Care Aide State Training (PHCAST)
The development of the Home Care Aide Curriculum was made available through funding via The Health and Wellness Health Trust Fund & Personal and Home Care Aide State Training (PHCAST). Based on the demand for in-home and personal care services as a result of North Carolina’s aging population and medical and technological advances, this curriculum was designed to:
- teach nurse aides how to deliver care in the client’s home environment
- build on concepts/skills from Nurse Aide I training and competencies
- focus specifically on the unique care delivery challenges associated with providing care in an individual’s home
- encompass more in-depth knowledge and more advanced soft skill development
- provide a pathway for advancement in a career ladder for the Nurse Aide I*
- provide opportunities for community agencies to partner with high schools and community colleges
*Nurse Aides who successfully complete this course will be listed on the Home Care Aide Registry as having done so.
