Just something to help; mom has only SS and that is not much. She is not good with caregivers, so I want and need to get cerification. Help! Thank you.
If you are planning to look after your mother 24/7, why do you need the formal certification? Whose requirements are you having to meet?
Not saying it's not a good idea anyway; but who would be paying you, and what are their criteria?
If you Google PCA, you will get plenty of results. Pick, say, three-to-five course providers you like the look of - preferably ones local to your state - and check them out thoroughly before you commit yourself to anything. Or, you could approach your local Social Services and see if they can recommend a provider. But for heaven's sake don't pay anyone any money for training or certification without being certain that they're reputable.
