According to the project, these professionals must have completed elementary school and qualification course in the field, in addition to a minimum age of 18 years, good criminal record and certificates of physical and mental aptitude. The role of the caregiver may take place in homes, communities or institutions.
The caregiver activity may be temporary or permanent, individual or collective, aiming at the autonomy and independence of the assisted person, ensuring the well-being, health, food, personal hygiene, education, culture, recreation and leisure of the person assisted.
The text of the regulation prohibits these professionals from administering medication that is not orally or guided by a medical prescription, as well as technically complex procedures.
