Personal care helps great people take great care of themselves.
For our clients who might need a little more assistance beyond our companion care services, we offer personal care services. Our care attendants assist with tasks such as bathing, toileting, dressing, feeding, medication reminders and other non-medical self care.

Personal Care is different than nursing care in that we do not do anything of a medical nature. However, when the need arises, we can refer you to one of our nurses that we partner with. These professionals would be able help by covering tasks outside the scope of non-medical in home care. Responsibilities such as full medical care management and liaising with the healthcare team as a patient advocate, writing care plans, administration of medication, taking and recording vitals, wound care management and more.
