Personal Care
What is Personal Care?
Personal care refers to the assistance provided to individuals who need help with daily activities and personal hygiene due to age, illness, disability, or other reasons. This type of care is essential for maintaining health, safety, and dignity, allowing individuals to live as independently as possible in their own homes or in a care facility. Personal care services are typically delivered by professional caregivers or home health aides who are trained to offer compassionate and respectful support.
