What is Personal Care? 

Personal care is providing support for everyday activities to individuals who may be challenged by age, illness, disabilities, or other circumstances. This type of care helps maintain a person’s dignity, cleanliness, and well-being.

Personal care is usually provided by caregivers trained to be sensitive and respectful of the individual’s privacy.
