Who it helps
Is personal care right for your family?
Personal care is a good fit when someone is safe at home most of the time but needs a helping hand, or when a family caregiver needs support. It may help if your loved one:
- Finds bathing, dressing or moving around harder than before
- Forgets meals or medications
- Spends long hours alone and feels lonely
- Is living with memory loss or dementia
- Is coming home after a hospital stay and needs extra help
- Has a family caregiver who needs time to rest, work or run errands
A typical visit
What a visit can look like
Every visit follows your loved one’s own routine. Here is an example of how a morning visit might go.
A friendly check-in
The caregiver says hello, asks how the night went and notices anything that has changed.
Getting ready
Help with a shower or wash, dressing and grooming, at a pace that feels comfortable.
Breakfast and reminders
A meal your loved one enjoys, plus a reminder to take medications as prescribed.
Time together
A walk, a game, tidying up or an errand, and a note so the family knows how the day went.
The right caregiver
How we match caregivers
The relationship between your loved one and their caregiver matters. When we match a caregiver, we think about:
- The care your loved one needs and the skills that care requires
- Personality, interests and the language they are most comfortable with
- The days and times that fit your family’s schedule
- Any preferences you share with us
If the match does not feel right, tell us. We will listen and look at other options with you.

Questions
Personal care FAQ
How many hours of care can we schedule?
It depends on what your loved one needs. Some families start with a few visits a week, and others need help every day. We will talk through the options and build a schedule that fits.
Can you help someone living with dementia?
Yes. Our caregivers support people living with memory loss by keeping routines steady, offering gentle reminders and helping them stay safe and engaged at home.
Can the care plan change later?
Yes. Needs change over time, and the care plan changes with them. Just let us know, and we will adjust tasks or hours with you.
How do families pay for personal care?
Families use private pay, Medicaid, long-term care insurance or VA benefits, depending on their situation. See paying for care or call us to talk about your options.
