This In Focus Backgrounder from the Canadian Research Centre for Care in the Community gives an overview of the role of home support workers within the broad continuum of care, their training programs and standards in Canada and other jurisdictions. While there may be some overlap in the issues around home support workers who serve older people and those who care for people with disabilities, there are many issues distinctive to aging or disability.
