What is the goal of Attendant Care regarding the individual's location?

• A. To relocate the individual to a care facility.
• B. To train caregivers on medical procedures.
• C. To assist the individual to remain in their home and/or participate in community activities.
• D. To minimize community involvement.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is supporting where the person lives and how they engage with their surroundings. Attendant Care aims to help the individual stay in their own home and remain involved in the community, rather than moving to a facility or cutting back on community participation. This emphasis on living at home and being active in the community aligns with promoting independence and choosing the least restrictive environment possible. A caregiver would focus on practical supports at home—daily routines, transportation to activities, and access to local programs—to keep the person connected to their neighborhood and friends. Relocating to a care facility changes the living situation, focusing on medical training for staff doesn’t address where the person lives, and minimizing community involvement runs counter to the goal of staying in the community and maintaining independence.
