Personal care, a synonym for private duty care, can be arranged for your loved one through our local home care agency, Visiting Angels^® Issaquah. This type of home care gives elderly adults the support they need to live at home while dealing with the difficult aspects of a physical disability or chronic health concern. As these services cover help with everyday activities, your loved one can look forward to maintaining their preferred lifestyle and enjoying their independence despite their age-related issues.

What is Personal Care?

As a form of care that is frequently requested by families in the Issaquah area, personal care includes a wide range of services. Customized care plans in this category often cover help with a combination of daily activities and routines, all with the intention of enabling seniors to stay safe, comfortable, and fulfilled.

Our caregivers are available to assist with crucial routines and basic tasks such as:

• Dressing and showering
• Grooming and using the restroom
• Transferring between locations
• Going to the grocery store
• Picking up prescription meds
• Running other errands
• Doing basic chores at home
• Preparing meals and snacks
• Helping seniors stay socially active

When setting up care for someone in your life, you may struggle to know which care type is best for them. As companion care and personal care have a high level of overlap, you may be particularly confused about the differences between these two categories. The main distinction is that personal care covers direct physical aid with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), while companion care does not. As a result, if your loved one is unable to get dressed, shower, or walk on their own, they are likely the ideal candidate for personal caregiving services from Visiting Angels Issaquah.
