Personal Care

Personal care refers to the assistance provided to individuals who require help with activities of daily living (ADLs) due to aging, illness, injury, or disability. These activities may include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility assistance. Personal care services are typically provided by trained caregivers, home health aides, or certified nursing assistants either in the individual’s home or in a residential care setting. The goal of personal care is to support individuals in maintaining their independence, dignity, and quality of life by helping them with tasks they may be unable to perform on their own. Personal care services are tailored to each individual’s needs and may also include light housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship, providing holistic support for individuals to live safely and comfortably in their own environment.
