Welcome to Personal Care Services, Inc.

We offer the following services:

---

 
Companion
Companion services consist of non-medical care, supervision and socialization activities provided to an adult on a one-on-one basis. This service must be provided in direct relation to the achievement of the recipient’s goals per his support plan. A companion provider may also assist the recipient with such tasks as meal preparation, laundry and shopping; however, these activities shall not be performed as discrete services. This service does not entail hands-on medical care. Providers may also perform light housekeeping tasks, incidental to the care and supervision of the recipient. Companion services may be scheduled on a regular, long-term basis.
 
Companion services are not merely diversional in nature but are related to a specific outcome or goal of the recipient. An acceptable companion activity could include going to the library, getting a library card, learning how to use the library and checking out books or videos for personal use, shopping for groceries, or going to an animal shelter to learn about animals, perhaps volunteering or assisting at the animal shelter.
 
In-Home Support
In-home supports are services that provide a recipient in a supported living situation with four to 24-hours-a-day assistance from a support worker or support workers. The support worker may live in the recipient’s home or apartment and share living expenses (rent, utilities, phone, etc.) with the recipient. The support worker provides companionship and personal care, and may assist with or perform activities of daily living and other duties necessary to maintain the recipient in supported living. The in-home support services are separate and not a replacement for the services performed by a supported living coach. Some recipient’s in supported living may need only the services of an in-home support worker, or only the services of a supported living coach. Other recipient’s may need both services. When both services are used, the providers must coordinate their activities to avoid duplication.
 
Personal Care Assistance
Personal care assistance is a service that assists a recipient with eating and meal preparation, bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and other self care activities of daily living. The service also includes activities such as assistance with meal preparation, bed making and vacuuming when these activities are essential to the health, safety and welfare of the recipient and when no one else is available to perform them. This service is provided on a one-on-one basis. Personal care assistance may not be used solely for supervision.
 
Respite Care
Respite care is a service that provides supportive care and supervision to a recipient when the primary caregiver is unable to perform these duties due to a planned brief absence, an emergency absence or when the caregiver is available, but temporarily physically unable to care for or supervise the recipient for a brief period. Providers of respite care services may be licensed residential facilities, licensed home health or hospice agencies, licensed nurse registries, or agencies that especialize in services to persons who have a developmental deisability. Independent vendors may also provide this service.
