A Personal Care Assistants (PCA) offers personal care services that are part of a client’s established plans of care. PCAs provide services that include helping clients:

  • Maintain their personal hygiene by assisting them with bathing, dressing, grooming etc.
  • Assisting with toileting and incontinence care
  • Assisting with transfers from the bed to a chair, and other locations
  • Prepare meals, for those who have difficulty preparing meals themselves

Besides providing personal care, a CNA/PCA helps with household chores. Having someone else take care of these duties gives clients the satisfaction of knowing that essential housekeeping chores will not be neglected. A CNA/PCA helps in this way by:

  • Washing dishes
  • Doing laundry
  • Sweeping and vacuuming
  • Dusting
  • Making beds
  • Preparing meals
  • Grocery shopping
  • Running errands when needed

Most importantly, CNA/ PCA's provide the companionship many clients need to maintain their self-worth and dignity. Family members may not be readily available to provide care or visit their loved one, especially if they are raising a family or do not live in the same area.

Personal Care Assistants CNA/PCA's, on the other hand, are there each day to:

  • Accompany the client to medical appointments
  • Help the client with exercising, as prescribed by a doctor
  • Play games and help clients with their hobbies
  • Help clients maintain a prescribed diet
  • Read to clients
  • Engage in meaningful conversations with clients

In some cases, PCAs are with older adults more than their clients’ family members. So, it stands to reason that concerned family members want to talk with PCAs to find out how their loved one is progressing. You essentially become apart of the family.
