Personal Care Assistance (PCA)

At TotalCare Services LLC, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals who require assistance with day-to-day activities due to a disability or chronic condition. Our Personal Care Assistance (PCA) services provide essential support, empowering individuals to live as independently as possible in their homes and communities.

What Are PCA Services?

Personal Care Assistance (PCA) services offer help with activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), health-related tasks, and redirection or intervention for behaviors that may endanger the individual or others. Our PCA professionals work closely with individuals, their families, and support teams to provide personalized care tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Who Can Benefit from PCA Services?

  • Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, mobility, and toileting.
  • Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) like meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and grocery shopping.
  • Health-related tasks such as medication reminders and assistance with medical devices.
  • Behavior management for individuals requiring supervision, redirection, or support with behaviors that may pose risks.
