CDPAP Caregivers Are Paid Well For Their One-of-a-Kind Care

However, typical compensation packages include:
- Highly Competitive Pay Rate
- Transportation Benefits
- Paid Time Off
- Weekly payment
- Direct deposit
04
Tasks That Caregivers Can Perform
CDPAP personal assistants can perform the same care that a home health aide or home attendant can perform. They are also able to provide certain “skilled” care activities that would otherwise need to be performed by a Nurse. Some tasks include:
- Tracheostomy care, including suctioning
- Oxygen administration
- Medication administration
- Diabetes treatment
- Help with daily activities (such as managing bills, medications, intimate tasks, and doctors’ appointments.)
