Professional Boundaries & Ethics helps front-line caregivers navigate the closeness of home care without crossing the lines that protect clients and themselves. Caregivers often work alone in clients' homes, build genuine relationships, and see private parts of people's lives — which makes clear boundaries essential. This course defines professional boundaries, the difference between a professional and a personal relationship, the risks of gifts, money, and dual relationships, confidentiality and privacy, social media, and the ethical principles that guide caregiving. It connects boundaries to client rights and protection from exploitation. The throughline is balance: you can be warm, kind, and genuinely caring while keeping the professional boundaries that keep the relationship safe, respectful, and free of exploitation.
