What Personal Care Includes
Personal care (also called hands-on care or ADL assistance) helps seniors maintain their hygiene, dignity, and independence when physical tasks become difficult. Caregivers assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and mobility — always with respect and sensitivity.
Who Needs Personal Care?
Personal care is appropriate when a senior can no longer safely manage bathing, dressing, or mobility on their own. It's often recommended following a fall, hospitalization, or diagnosis of a progressive condition like Parkinson's or moderate dementia.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between personal care and companion care?
Personal care involves hands-on physical assistance (bathing, dressing, toileting). Companion care focuses on social support and light household tasks. Many families use both.
Do caregivers need special training for personal care?
Yes — CareMatch at Home only matches families with caregivers who are trained CNAs or HHAs with verified experience in personal care assistance.
How do I know my parent will be comfortable with a caregiver?
We match you with two options so your parent can choose who they're most comfortable with. A trial period is always recommended.
