Personal Care in Gainesville

Personal care, which is often used interchangeably with the term private duty care, is one of the most popular care options available from Visiting Angels® Gainesville. Through this type of home care, seniors can live in a familiar environment while having the advantage of physical support with their daily activities.

This level of care is often best suited to those who are coping with a physical disability, chronic condition, or other obstacle that prevents them from being able to safely go about their day-to-day routines at home. It can also make a major difference for elderly adults who are dealing with strength limitations or difficulties with their balance or coordination. These individuals can maintain their independent lifestyle at home when they have dedicated assistance from a personal care provider.

What is Personal Care?

Personal care is frequently requested by seniors in the Gainesville area because it covers a wide variety of common needs. The individualized care plans we create in this category of care typically include help with a number of activities to promote the senior's safety and well-being as they age in place.

Examples include:

  • Getting dressed and grooming
  • Taking a shower or bath
  • Transportation to appointments
  • Safely using the restroom
  • Picking up prescriptions and other errands
  • Light household chores and cooking
  • Conversation and fun social activities

When setting up care for a senior in your family, you may not be sure whether this type of care is right for them, or whether they would best be served through companion care. These two forms of home care cover many of the same needs, but there is a crucial distinction: companion care does not include direct physical assistance with activities of daily living. If your loved one's limited mobility prevents them from safely going about their daily routine without physical support, then personal care in the Gainesville area is likely the best choice for them. Of course, we can help your family with this decision during a free consultation.
