Personal Care Assistant Reference Check Form

Personal Care Assistant Reference Check Form

Finding the right personal care assistant for disability services requires thorough vetting to ensure safety, reliability, and quality care. This Personal Care Assistant Reference Check Form helps disability service providers, case managers, and families gather detailed feedback from previous employers and supervisors about a candidate's skills, character, and suitability for providing intimate personal care.

Why reference checks matter in disability services

Personal care assistants support individuals with daily living activities including bathing, dressing, mobility, medication reminders, and communication facilitation. The role demands not just technical competence but also patience, empathy, respect for client dignity, and unwavering reliability. A comprehensive reference check helps verify:

• ADL assistance experience: Bathing, toileting, grooming, feeding, and dressing support
• Mobility support skills: Safe transfers, wheelchair assistance, and fall prevention
• Communication facilitation: Supporting clients with speech or cognitive differences
• Dignity and respect: Maintaining privacy, autonomy, and person-centered care
• Reliability: Punctuality, consistency, and trustworthiness in vulnerable situations
