Personal Care at Home

What is Personal Care?

Personal care covers the activities of daily living (ADLs) that become difficult as we age or recover from illness. Our trained home health aides provide hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transfers, ambulation, and meal preparation. Personal care is the most common service we provide and is often the first step for families who want their loved one to remain safely at home.

• Seniors who need help bathing or dressing safely
• Patients recovering from surgery, stroke, or fall
• Adults with limited mobility or balance issues

Insurance & Payment

Personal care is sometimes covered by Medicaid, long-term care insurance, or VA benefits. It is not typically covered by Medicare unless it is provided alongside qualifying skilled nursing. We help families understand their payment options at no cost.
