What
Is A Personal Care Home?
A personal care home provides a place  to live for many elderly and
mentally or physically disabled persons who are unable to care for
themselves but who do not require 24 hour nursing services in a licensed
nursing care facility.
In a personal care home, meals are prepared, linens
provided and clothes laundered. Residents receive assistance with
personal hygiene, with bathing and dressing, with medications, with
making phone calls and with correspondence. They may also be offered
assistance with obtaining transportation to appointments and help with
their personal finances.
 Socialization,
activities, and contact with community services are arranged. Assistance
is provided to access both emergency and on-going health care services,
which can include visiting nurses, in-home rehabilitative therapy
services and medical testing
Who BENEFITS from a Personal Care Home?
 A
Personal Care Home is a perfect place for those who do not need the
level of care that a skilled nursing home provides but still have a need
more supervision than living alone provides.
