Annual On-Site Evaluation of In-Home Workers

Every in-home service aide, including personal care aides, APC aides, homemakers, chore workers and respite care workers, receives a written performance evaluation at least once a year, based in part on at least one on-site visit to a participant's home, which also reviews the adequacy of the care plan with the participant. The evaluation is signed and dated by the supervisor and the aide and kept in the aide's personnel file; a report made by a supervisor who is not a registered nurse is initialed and reviewed by the Agency's registered nurse. If an evaluation is not done or not documented, every payment for that aide's services may be recouped.
