Our staff of Personal Care Aides provide showers, bathing and skin care in addition to light housekeeping services to eligible seniors in their home. A case manager will visit you for an in-home evaluation to determine services and level of need. Clients are placed on service using prioritization factors such as emergency situations, chronic health conditions, and limited resources. A Personal Care Aide will be assigned, up to two visits a week for Personal Care, as deemed appropriate by the case manager. Great conversation, a smile and a little laughter is all part of the atmosphere provided by our in-home staff.
