Our Personal Support Workers will assist with daily personal care needs as clients cope with injuries, illness or conditions of aging. All PSWs employed by Exclusive Care Services must possess certificates. Unfortunately this is not an industry standard, but we feel certification is an important requirement and we demand that they all possess certificates.
