Personal Care

Personal Care provides assistance with personal hygiene, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and transferring in and out of the bed. Personal Care provides a total of 10 hours for the year, which equals to 5 visits.

In-home Respite

In-home respite is designed to provide the caregiver with a break from their caregiving responsibilities. For example, if you have a doctor's appointment or just need a break, the program will provide the caregiver with an aide to allow a 4-hour break. The service provides a total of 36 hours for the year, which equals a total of 9 visits.

Adult Day Health Care allows temporary relief by bringing your loved on to an adult day health care facility for health maintenance, socialization and recreational activities.
