PERSONAL CARE
Respectful help with the routines that shape each day.
Personal care supports adults who want to remain at home but need another person's help with daily activities.
THE SHORT ANSWER
What families should know first
Personal care may help when bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, eating or moving safely through a daily routine has become difficult without assistance.
What personal care may include
- Bathing, dressing and grooming assistance
- Toileting and personal hygiene support
- Help with eating and meal routines
- Mobility support within the approved non-medical care plan
- Companionship and practical help around the home
When families often begin looking
A change in strength, balance, memory or confidence can make familiar routines harder. Families also call when a spouse or adult child can no longer provide every hands-on task alone.
- Morning or evening routines are taking much longer
- A person is skipping bathing, dressing or meals
- A family caregiver needs reliable hands-on help
- A recent change has made staying home more difficult
How the plan is built
We start with the exact tasks, timing, preferences and home situation. The care plan stays within Peacemaker's non-medical scope and gives the caregiver a clear routine to follow.
Depending on location, care needs, requested hours and caregiver availability, services may begin within 48–96 hours. This is not a guaranteed start time.
Important: Peacemaker provides non-medical home care. Caregivers do not provide skilled nursing, therapy, emergency care or hospital-level services.
