You are a Home Caregiver, and you must obtain a Palm Beach County Home Caregiver ID Badge if you receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from a Vulnerable Adult for assisting that vulnerable adult with Covered Activities.
Vulnerable Adult is defined as a person 18 years of age or older whose ability to perform the normal activities of daily living or to provide for his or her own care or protection is impaired due to a mental, emotional, sensory, long-term physical, or developmental disability or dysfunction, or brain damage, or the infirmities of aging.
Covered Activities include Activities of Daily Living (bathing, grooming, shaving, oral care, using the toilet or other continence-related activities, dressing, eating, transferring from seated to standing position, getting in and out of bed); and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (finding and utilizing resources such as making and keeping doctor’s appointments, driving or arranging for travel – either by public transportation or private car, preparing meals, shopping, housework, managing medication, and managing finances).
