What is Personal Care?

This service is available to anyone who is elderly and/or disabled. Sometimes the challenges of everyday life can turn into impossible tasks. Activities such as cleaning, doing laundry, preparing meals, taking a bath, getting dressed, and brushing teeth can become difficult to perform to the point that independent living can become impossible. Consequently, nursing facilities may become the only option. However, there is a choice. Integrity Home Care can help one avoid nursing home placement. Depending on an individual’s needs, our agency can provide trained personal care aids that will assist with personal care and daily activities allowing the individual to live in the comforts of his or her home.

Department of Medical Assistance Services (Medicaid) pays Integrity Home Care to provide Personal/Respite care to Medicaid eligible recipients. Individuals not eligible for Medicaid may receive Personal/Respite services as private clients.

To find out how to apply for these services you can speak to your doctor, contact your local Department of Social Services or contact Integrity Home Care.
