When a workplace accident results in catastrophic injuries that leave a worker unable to care for him or herself at home, attendant care services may be available through workers’ compensation
What are attendant care services?
Attendant care services commonly involve a trained caregiver assistant who comes to the injured person’s home to assist him or her during the day or around the clock, if necessary. The caregiver assistance is available to help with tasks such as cooking and personal care, as well as leisurely tasks like taking a walk.
The purpose of attendant care is for the injured worker to get the home help he or she needs, while also making sure that the injured worker doesn’t get hurt again.
