Personal Assistance At Home
A Personal Assistant For Elderly Clients and Adults With Disabilities
Independence and Companionship: Begin Thriving at Home
Research shows that between 10% and 43% of older adults face depressive symptoms that significantly affect their daily functioning. This can stem from feelings of isolation, lack of resources, health issues, or missing out on regular activities.
Personal Assistance Services (PAS) offer hope and peace of mind. They ensure that daily tasks can be accomplished and that essential needs are met without burdening family members. There’s hope for you or your loved one to continue enjoying a fulfilling life, even in the face of challenges to independence or functional ability.
With our part-time or full-time senior care Personal Assistance Program, seniors and their families can find immediate relief, allowing them to rediscover joy in life. Don’t wait for physical, emotional, or mental well-being to decline. Contact us today and start thriving at home.
What Is Personal Assistance?
Personal Care Assistance (PCA) refers to a non-medical support professional hired by a licensed agency to help you or a loved one at home with activities of daily living (ADLs). A Personal Care Assistant provides services to seniors, adults with disabilities, and individuals with reduced mobility.
A PCA works collaboratively with other caregivers and health professionals, such as Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), Registered Nurses (RNs), Occupational Therapists, and hospice providers, to ensure that each client’s specific needs are addressed comprehensively.
When Is Personal Assistance Needed At Home?
The best time to bring in a personal assistant is when you or a loved one just needs a little extra help at home. If there are no complex medical needs that need to be addressed and personal hygiene is manageable, a personal assistant for elderly adults or those with disabilities may be the perfect fit.
Home Health Care vs. Personal Care Assistance (PCA): What’s The Difference?
Personal assistance is a subcategory of home health care that provides non-medical assistance. This service manages the personal matters in life that require attention but that seniors and adults with disabilities may find difficult to manage on their own.
Home health care providers offer a medical component to their services, like nursing care, physical therapy, wound care, and medication management.
