How it works
Dignity first, every time.
Personal care asks for a lot of trust. That is why the same caregiver comes each visit, learns how your loved one likes things done, and follows the routine instead of rushing it.
Your care coordinator writes the routine into the care plan before the first visit, so nothing is left to guesswork, and adjusts it as needs change.
Care starts at 5 hours a week. Most families pay $32 to $36 an hour. Paying for care
Often helps

Questions
What families ask about personal care.
Is personal care medical care?
No. Personal care is non-medical help with daily routines like bathing and dressing. For wound care, injections or other clinical needs, we help you coordinate with the right medical provider.
What if my mother is uneasy about help with bathing?
That is very common. We start slowly, follow her lead, and keep the same caregiver so trust can build. Many families begin with other help and add bathing once she is comfortable.
Can the caregiver give medications?
Caregivers give reminders so medications are taken on time, but they do not give medications or manage doses.
Also at home
Most plans combine a few of these.
Home-cooked meals, groceries, laundry and a tidy, safe home, kept up visit after visit.
Escorted rides to appointments, from the front door to the waiting room and home again.
