Affirmative Homecare offers personalized home care services to seniors who want to maintain their independence and age in place comfortably. Our dedicated personal care services provide the essential in-home support that your loved one needs to handle everyday tasks, 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 helps older adults with activities of daily living, such as dressing, personal grooming, bathing, toileting, mobility, and transfers. Personal caregivers can also assist with errands, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and other routine activities to ensure your loved one’s optimal safety, comfort, and well-being.

Personal Care vs. Companion Care

Personal care and companion care are two common in-home care services that have some similarities but differ in the level of assistance provided. Personal caregivers offer direct physical assistance and can perform other duties, while companion caregivers provide companionship and emotional support and can assist with errands or light housekeeping but cannot help with activities of daily living.

Affirmative Homecare recommends personal care services if your loved one requires direct physical assistance or has a chronic health condition, such as deficits after a stroke or dementia. If your loved one does not need this level of assistance, companion services may be recommended.

Get Started With Personal Care Services

Affirmative Homecare understands how important it is for seniors to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. We make it easy to start private home care services with a free consultation with a care coordinator who will address your concerns and develop a customized care plan and schedule. We will select a caregiver whose skills and abilities suit your loved one’s needs and requests.
