Personal Care

Personal care services are hands-on services that assist a person with critical day-to-day activities that they are unable to perform on their own. 

Dignified Support for Daily Living

Personal care services provide one-on-one assistance with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, laundry, and bed changing, ensuring comfort and dignity at home. Our trained caregivers offer discreet and compassionate support, helping you or your loved one maintain independence while feeling safe and well cared for.

Also known as non-skilled or non-medical care, personal care services enable seniors and individuals with disabilities to remain in the comfort of their own home, enjoying an enhanced quality of life in a familiar, supportive environment.

We know everyone’s personal care needs are unique, but it typically involves assistance with the following tasks:

  • Bathing/cleaning/showering

  • Shaving

  • Assistance with medication

  • Eating habits

  • Toilet assistance

  • Laundry

  • Skin care

  • Changing your bed

Unlike home health care services, personal care services are non-medical in nature and may be provided without a prescription or regular certification. 

Benefits of Personal Care Services

There are several benefits to choosing this type of in-home care over an assisted living facility or a nursing home.

  • Freedom and Comfort of Staying at Home. For most seniors, the thought of living out their lives in their own homes brings a sense of reassurance and comfort, especially when they can still receive the companionship that personal care services provide. Often, having help with simple tasks is enough to allow an elderly person to live safely and comfortably at home for years.

  • Cost-Effective. While personal home care does involve a specific cost, it is generally significantly lower than the expenses associated with assisted living or a nursing home. For instance, the average monthly cost of a nursing home in the US is around $7,000, while the cost of personal home care can range from $1,500 to $3,000 per month, depending on the level of care needed.

  • Personalized Care.  Our personal care attendants are dedicated to understanding and meeting the unique needs of each client.  Every situation is distinct, and while some may require 24-hour care, others may only need an hour or so of assistance per day. This personalized approach ensures that each individual feels understood and cared for.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life.  Personal care services have been a source of optimism and hope for our clients, allowing them to enjoy an excellent quality of life. This is made possible by their ability to live at home, maintain independence, and form a close bond with their caregiver.
