Many things could cause you to have a bad experience as a Personal Care Aide. You could have a mean client, a family member or a client who makes inappropriate comments, a client who dies, or many other possibilities. Explain a time when you had a bad experience and how it turned out.

"I had a horrible experience with a client who had the beginning stages of dementia. He touched me inappropriately while I was attending to his activities of daily living and made rude suggestive remarks. I asked him to stop touching me, and I told him I did not like the way he was talking to me. His son came to the house shortly after that, and I described what happened. The son apologized and said he would call the agency and request a male aide, so I didn't have to be subjected to that. I was replaced with another aide and did not have anything like that happen again."
