Personal care services at home
Hands-on help with the activities of daily living, delivered in your home by trained personal care aides.
Personal care is non-medical, one-on-one assistance with daily living. It's often the right choice when an older adult or person with a disability needs help staying safe and comfortable at home — but doesn't need skilled nursing.
- Bathing and showering
- Dressing and grooming
- Mobility and transfers
- Toileting and incontinence care
- Oral and personal hygiene
- Medication reminders (non-medical)
Payment may be private-pay, long-term-care insurance, or — for eligible participants — Medicaid. See our private-pay guide and Medicaid home-care overview.
