CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) assists in all areas of supporting patients health
When you need professional care, we are here for you
Overview
CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) can assist elderly adults with bathing, getting dressed, preparing meals, eating, and hygiene needs while also providing companionship. Our certified nursing assistant’s role is to support the patient’s health.
CNAs have a more limited scope and work under supervision, but they alleviate the workload of others, allowing for better overall patient care.
CNAs are the trained professionals providing the most direct patient care in long term care facilities. You are often responsible for feeding, bathing, talking to, sitting with, and caring for other people’s loved ones. CNA job duties are physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding, and it takes a very particular combination of kindness, patience, and intelligence to do the job well.

Benefits
A certified nursing assistant is a person who has gone through a training program and been certified by the American Red Cross to provide basic nursing care to someone who is ill, injured, or disabled while working under a registered nurse (RN) or licensed practicing nurse (LPN). CNAs are trained to provide physical and emotional care for the patient or resident, including activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and helping a person transfer in and out of bed, a chair, or a wheelchair.
CNAs spend time with residents and patients getting to know them, their likes and dislikes, their life stories, and their families. Because of this close relationship, CNAs are often the first to notice a change in a patient or resident’s behavior that may require medical attention – like a change in their appetite or new symptoms. CNAs help engage residents in community life, support activities, and facilitate relationships with other residents.

Certified Nursing Assistants
The role of certified nursing assistants in long term care facilities is to provide basic daily care for the residents, preserving dignity and monitoring for any changes or concerns in their physical or mental state in the process. While doctors and nurses oversee the majority of the medical care of the residents, CNAs are their eyes and ears, using their intimate knowledge of the patients’ day-to-day norms to pick up on any subtle changes and often being the first to spot any concerns.
There are varying levels of care needed by long term care residents, but common needs include bathing, dressing, brushing teeth, combing hair, assisting with toileting and changing soiled linens, feeding, assisting with ambulation and position changes, and providing companionship and preventing the negative effects of loneliness. Assessment skills are necessary for tracking skin integrity, breathing and circulatory patterns, cognition, movement, and vital signs, and the ability to pick up on any changes (particularly subtle or rapid ones) is paramount.
While completing any of these tasks, it is incredibly important to remember that these residents are individuals with histories, and that, in most cases, they used to be young and able-bodied with intelligence, passions, and drive just like you; therefore, preserving their identities and dignity is just as important as the daily checklist of care tasks. This preservation of dignity and genuine caring is not only important to create a sense of safety and general well-being among the residents, but also has a big impact on the impression family members get when they visit their loved ones. Seeing a loved one resting comfortably with freshly washed hair and clean sheets, and receiving an individualized update from a friendly and familiar CNA can provide a sense of calm and peace-of-mind to those visiting their family. CNAs not only have the ability to positively impact the lives and health of the residents they care for, but also to shape the experience of the entire family during a difficult time, a responsibility not to be taken lightly.
