Personal Care Assistance

Personal Care Assistance is a health care program that provides services to individuals with differing abilities and medical needs. The main focus of the program is to help promote the recipient's independence so they can remain in their homes and community. 


A Personal Care Assistant (AKA Direct Support Worker)  is the individual providing the PCA services to the recipient. There are four categories covered under PCA services. Tasks and duties under each category provided by the PCA are according to the recipient's needs. 


  • Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): These are daily activities the recipient needs assistance with to keep them safe and healthy.  Some examples are: dressing, grooming, bathing, eating, positioning, transfer, and mobility.


  • Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs): These are daily activities the recipient needs assistance with to remain independent from a structured routine/care plan provided by a facility or institution.  Some examples are: grocery shopping, meal preparation, etc. 


  • Health-Related Tasks: Some examples of these tasks are assisting the recipient  to take their medication on their own, promoting safe exercise, etc. These tasks assist the recipient with healthy practices.


  • Positive Decision Making and Redirection of Behaviors: As necessary, the PCA will occasionally assist the recipient with positive decision making and behavioral redirection. PCA's will also exercise positive communication skills with the motive to understand a challenging behavior and find the best fit resolution for the recipient.
