What are the Potential Effects of TBI? ​ The severity of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) may range from “mild” (i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness) to “severe” (i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury). A TBI can cause a wide range of functional short- or long-term changes affecting: ​ Thinking (i.e., memory and reasoning); Sensation (i.e., sight and balance); Language (i.e., communication, expression, and understanding); and Emotion (i.e., depression, anxiety, personality changes, aggression, acting out, and social inappropriateness). A TBI can also cause epilepsy and increase the risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders. About 75% of TBIs that occur each year are concussions or other forms of mild TBI. Repeated mild TBIs occurring over an extended period of time can result in cumulative neurological and cognitive deficits. Repeated mild TBIs occurring within a short period of time (i.e., hours, days, or weeks) can be catastrophic or fatal. ​ For information on how to prevent TBI and the potentially serious effects from this injury, please visit TBI Prevention page. ​ ​ ​ ​

CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT ALLIED CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT CT PCA PERSONAL CARE CONNECTICUT ALLIED 1/6 APPLY HERE Mpango wa Mhudumu wa Utunzaji wa Kibinafsi (PCA) hutoa huduma za usaidizi za kujitolea kwa watu wazima wenye umri wa miaka 18 hadi 64, ambao wanakabiliana na ulemavu wa kudumu, mbaya na wa kudumu. Mpango huu umeundwa ili kuwawezesha watu hawa kwa uwezo wa kudumisha utaratibu wao wa kila siku ndani ya starehe ya nyumba zao, na hivyo kuepusha hitaji la utunzaji wa kitaasisi kama vile kuishi katika kituo cha muda mrefu au makao ya wazee. Jukumu la mhudumu wa kibinafsi ni muhimu katika mchakato huu, kwani wameajiriwa kuwezesha utendaji wa shughuli za kila siku zinazochangia maisha ya maana na ya kujitegemea nyumbani. Hata hivyo, tafadhali kumbuka kuwa kuna orodha ya kusubiri kwa ajili ya kuingia katika mpango huu. . Kustahiki kwa programu ya PCA hubainishwa kupitia tathmini ya pande mbili. Kwanza, kuna Tathmini ya Utendaji, ambapo ulazima wa huduma hizi lazima uonyeshwe kimwili. Watu binafsi wanapaswa kuhitaji usaidizi wa moja kwa moja wa angalau Shughuli tatu kati ya saba za Msingi za Kuishi Kila Siku (ADLs), ikiwa ni pamoja na Kuoga, Kuvaa, Kula/Kulisha (bila kujumuisha utayarishaji wa chakula), Choo, Uhamisho, Usimamizi wa Dawa, na Usimamizi wa Tabia. . Kipengele cha pili cha tathmini ya ustahiki ni Tathmini ya Fedha. Wagombea wanaotarajiwa lazima wawe wamehitimu kwa Medicaid kwa wakati wanapopokea huduma. Ingawa vikwazo vya kifedha vya Medicaid hazihitaji kufikiwa wakati wa kusubiri kwa PCA, ni muhimu kwamba maombi ya Medicaid yawasilishwe na kuidhinishwa wakati jina la mgombea limeorodheshwa kwenye orodha ya kusubiri. . Wasaidizi wa Huduma ya Kibinafsi, wanaojulikana kama PCAs, wanashikilia nafasi muhimu ndani ya sekta ya afya. Wanatoa huduma ya kibinafsi, ya nyumbani kwa watu binafsi wanaohitaji usaidizi wa ADLs, na hivyo kuwawezesha kudumisha uhuru wao na kuimarisha ubora wa maisha yao. PCAs huingiliana kwa karibu na wateja, kupanua usaidizi ili kuhakikisha faraja na ustawi wao. . Kuna safu nyingi za fursa za majukumu ya Msaidizi wa Utunzaji wa Kibinafsi kote nchini, na kuifanya kuwa njia inayofaa ya kazi kwa watu wenye huruma, subira, na waliojitolea kuwahudumia wengine. Mchakato wa kuajiri wa kuwa PCA unahusisha mahojiano ya kina, na watarajiwa wanaweza kufanyiwa uchunguzi wa uchunguzi wa dawa. . Kwa muhtasari, PCAs ni muhimu katika sekta ya afya, kutoa huduma muhimu ya nyumbani kwa watu binafsi wanaohitaji usaidizi wa taratibu zao za kila siku. Majukumu haya yanapatikana kote na yanaweza kuwa chaguo la kazi lenye kuridhisha kwa watu wenye huruma, wenye subira waliojitolea kuwahudumia wengine. Masharti ya kuwa PCA ni pamoja na kufanyiwa mahojiano ya kina, kupita mtihani wa uchunguzi wa dawa, na kuwasilisha wasifu wa kitaalamu. . .
