A Personal Support Worker or PSW is an individual who is certified to perform personal care duties, transfers, lifts, etc. They are typically involved in both personal care tasks and incidental activities of daily living, such as housekeeping, meal preparation, socialization, and companionship.

The term "Unregulated Care Provider" (UCP) refers to an unregulated employee who performs various tasks traditionally attributed to regulated professionals. It is common for UCPs to administer routine medications to residents in retirement, group, and home care settings under the supervision of Registered Nurses.
