SBA Home Care — Patient Care Staff Terms

Patient Care Role Scope: For Elder Care, Ayah / Patient Attendant, Male Attendant, GDA / General Duty Assistant and qualified ANM/GNM or other nursing Candidate placement requirements, the agreed duty should be based on the selected Candidate's role, available records and the Client's stated care requirements.

Role Classification: Elder-care attendants, Ayah / Patient Attendants, Male Attendants and GDA / General Duty Assistant Candidates are not represented as licensed nurses or medical practitioners merely because they are placed under a patient-care category. The agreed duty should match the Candidate profile, training and documented competency.

Qualified Nursing Placement: Where the Client requests an ANM, GNM or other qualified nursing Candidate, SBA Home Care may facilitate placement according to the Candidate's stated qualification and, where applicable and available, registration-related records held in the Candidate file. The Client should review the relevant records before final selection.

Medication and Clinical Task Boundary: A non-nursing Candidate may provide reminders or assistance only within the agreed role and according to Client or treating-professional instructions. Nursing procedures, medication administration, wound/catheter-related care, monitoring or other clinical tasks should be assigned only where appropriate to the selected Candidate's documented qualification, registration, training or competency records available for the placement and should follow treating-doctor or authorised medical-professional instructions. No Candidate should independently diagnose, prescribe or alter dosage.

Patient Safety Information: The Client should disclose relevant mobility or transfer needs, infection precautions, allergies, behavioural concerns, equipment, doctor-advised precautions and emergency contacts reasonably required for safe duty planning.

No Agency Clinical Supervision: SBA Home Care does not prescribe treatment, make medical decisions, provide clinical supervision through this placement service or guarantee clinical outcomes. Clinical decisions remain with the Client, patient and treating medical professionals.

Emergency Care: If the patient condition requires urgent medical attention, the Client should contact the treating doctor, hospital or appropriate emergency service rather than relying solely on a placed Candidate.
