Personal care allows a senior to live comfortably in their home instead of nursing facilities or in-patient hospitals.  A customized care plan is built around your loved one’s unique needs, so they never have to feel like their independence is compromised and another person manages their life.  Personal care is offered for patients needing temporary or prolonged assistance post-hospital discharge, adults with Alzheimer’s and other dementia conditions, Parkinson’s and related movement disorders, 24-hour care, and individuals simply needing help remaining independent.

It is important to note, personal care is different than companion care.  Companion care, also known as sitting services, does not allow the caregiver to touch the patient, such as lifting or transferring them out of bed and into a wheelchair. On the contrary, personal care does allow such services and therefore is considered a higher level of care than companion care.
