Personal Care Assistants (PCA’s) provide one-on-one non-medical care and companionship for patients at home. On any given day, they help with cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, and bathing. Their care is so incredibly important and ensures that our friends, family, and neighbors have the opportunity to stay safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible.
PCA’s not only help with critical activities of daily living, they also bring companionship, laughter, and friendship to the lives of people who really need it. Some of the services a personal care assistant can provide include:
- Bathing and grooming
- Dressing and undressing
- Exercise and ambulation
- Skin care
- Meal preparation and feeding
- Laundry and light housekeeping
- Range of motion exercises
- Medication reminders
- Transfers
Any type of assistance with activities of daily living so that your loved one can get the one on one care. The PCA is there to love and care for tour family member so it can lighten your load. The PCA also gets to know your loved one and forms a bond like they are their own family member.
