Home-Based Personal Care Aides

These resources provide companionship services and in-home assistance with personal care tasks, known as activities of daily living (ADLs), which include support for dressing, bathing, toileting, transferring/mobility, and eating. Some of these organizations also help with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as light housework or food preparation, i.e. “homemaker” services. (For organizations that provide these services also see the section: Home-Based Services: Homemaker Services).
