Home and Community Professional (HCP)
The Home and Community Professional (HCP) will work with adults with disabilities in their homes and communities. HCPs provide supervision, assistance, and companionship in the areas of health, safety, and welfare. The goal of the HCP is to help the participant to have the most meaningful experience in regard to participation and inclusion in their communities. HCPs may help the participant with daily tasks including grooming, household care, meal preparation and planning, ambulating, and medication administration (in accordance with regulatory guidance). These types of supports are a part of Companion services. HCPs may also work with clients on goal-oriented tasks where new skills are learned or enhanced. These types of supports are a part of In Home/Community Supports. HCPs report to the Clinical Director of Adult Services, who serves as a direct supervisor and mentor.
