Personal home care can give seniors a lifeline by offering personalized and dedicated in-home assistance to avoid the emotional toll of moving to an assisted living facility or nursing home—even if they have a physical disability or chronic health condition.

What is Personal Care?

Personal care is a non-medical home care service that assists older adults with their day-to-day activities to promote dignity and well-being while helping them maintain their preferred autonomy, lifestyle, and routines.

Personal care, sometimes referred to as “private duty” care, provides specialized assistance with activities of daily living such as:

  • Bathing, personal hygiene, and grooming
  • Dressing
  • Errands
  • Feeding
  • Light housekeeping
  • Meal preparation
  • Medication reminders
  • Mobility and transfer support
  • Toileting

Personal care is helpful for individuals who need thorough physical help due to chronic illness or deficits after a stroke or dementia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Personal care provides direct physical assistance with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, toileting, and reminders to take medications. Personal care can also include non-medical assistance for chronic health conditions such as diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

Companion care provides companionship, emotional support, and assistance with non-medical tasks to foster social interaction and enhance overall well-being within the comfort of home. Sharing conversation, hobbies, and activities can help reduce loneliness and isolation, as well as relieve your emotional load.

Personal care and home health care are complementary services that provide comprehensive support for individuals in need of assistance with daily activities within their homes.

While personal home care focuses on non-medical assistance with activities of daily living and household tasks, home health care involves skilled medical services delivered by licensed healthcare professionals, such as registered nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists.
