--0000000000008162c205ee282416 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I am ok to oversee this case if it is an LPN working there. LPNs have skilled training and the task requirements are acceptable for an LPN, there is no liability essentially with the tasks required. The LPN also has her own license that she would have to hold her accountable for the tasks she does within her scope. If it was an HCA it would have been my licence that umbrellas the care scope and it wasn't in the scope for delegated or transferable tasks to an HCA. If an LPN goes in, it is ok for the family to train her directly, we would just need someone to do the assessment and then we can get the LPN in there for the training and shifts. I would be ok with this case with an LPN working in the home. *Warm regards,Shawntel Sousa, LPN* *Lead Client Success ManagerCalgary Office: *403-301-3777 *Winnipeg Office: *204-489-6000 *Vancouver Office:* 778-279-3634 *Direct Number:* 403-305-6588 [image: TheKey] *Please note my email has changed:* *ssousa@thekey.com * On Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 11:48 AM Sharon Speirs wrote: > We do have inactive caregivers that have since become LPN so we can > certainly hire specifically for this if he is willing to pay.
