Personal Care Assistance
Our caregivers provide hands-on assistance with activities of daily living, guided by an individualized care plan and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
What we offer
These services reflect the full range of support we provide. Availability depends on the client’s needs, the assessment and the scope of our Minnesota Comprehensive Home Care License.
Built around you
Whether it is a few hours of companionship a week or clinical support delegated by a nurse, your care plan pulls from the same list. Nothing is bolted on from a different provider, and nothing is bundled in that you did not ask for.
Start with the kind of help you recognize. We will use the assessment to work out the right level of care and explain what is available under your plan.
Everyday care
Non-clinical, hands-on assistance with the everyday tasks that keep a person safe, clean and comfortable in their own home.
Our caregivers provide hands-on assistance with activities of daily living, guided by an individualized care plan and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
We support bathing and grooming routines with patience and privacy, reducing fall risk while preserving independence wherever possible.
Caregivers assist with dressing and undressing, including adaptive clothing needs, at a pace that respects the client's comfort.
We assist with walking, transfers and positioning to reduce fall risk, using proper technique and any mobility equipment already in place.
Caregivers plan and prepare meals and snacks that reflect dietary restrictions, preferences and physician guidance.
Light housekeeping keeps the home safe and comfortable: laundry, dishes, tidying, and general upkeep of client living areas.
Companionship visits provide conversation, shared activities and a familiar, trusted presence for clients who live alone or spend long hours without company.
We step in for a few hours, a day, or longer so family caregivers can rest, work or attend to their own needs, with continuity for the client.
Caregivers can accompany clients to appointments and errands, providing support getting to, from and through the visit when this is part of the agreed care plan.
For clients who self-administer medication, caregivers provide reminders and observation to support an existing medication routine.
Clinical support at home
Clinical support is discussed during assessment and provided only when appropriate to the client’s needs and within our licensed scope.
Care planning and clinical support are coordinated with the client’s care team when appropriate and within the scope of the services agreed for that client.
Medication support may include reminders, administration support and monitoring when appropriate, based on the client’s plan and applicable requirements.
Wound support focuses on healing and infection prevention for people recovering from surgery or injury, or living with a chronic wound, and is provided as appropriate to the client’s condition and within our licensed scope.
Access to seasonal and routine vaccinations, which matter most for seniors and people who are medically vulnerable. Availability and follow-up depend on clinical appropriateness, current requirements and the client’s care plan.
For people who need daily attention rather than a hospital bed: monitoring vital signs and general health, and assistance with mobility, hygiene, dressing and nutrition when included in the client’s plan.
Support for people living with ongoing respiratory needs at home, coordinated with the client’s care team and provided within our licensed scope.
Ventilator support is provided for clients whose plan of care calls for it, with caregiving matched to the level of clinical need identified at assessment.
Airway support delivered in the home, coordinated with the client’s clinicians and provided only where it is appropriate and within our licensed scope.
Assistance with the routines and equipment that support nutrition and digestive health at home, as set out in the client’s care plan.
Consistency matters here. Care is planned around the routines, cues and safety needs of the individual and revised as the condition changes.
One-to-one nursing hours for people whose needs go beyond personal care, provided within our licensed scope and coordinated with the wider care team.
Aide and PCA support covers hands-on help with activities of daily living, delivered by staff matched to the level of support the assessment identifies.
Every clinical service is subject to assessment, availability and our licensed scope.
A plan that stays useful
The work around the care itself — assessment, planning, goal setting, education and the communication that keeps everyone involved pointing the same way.
Talk through your needsThe assessment establishes the appropriate level of intervention and is the basis for every other decision in the plan. Nothing is quoted or scheduled before it.
Care plans are developed with the client and, where appropriate, family members and healthcare providers, then reviewed and revised as needs change.
Managing care across several providers is where families lose the most time. Coordination covers appointment planning, referrals, medication updates and communication with the client’s care team.
Goals give the plan something to measure against. They are set with the client and their care team and included only when appropriate to that person’s needs and agreed services.
Education is adapted to the client’s needs, learning style and language, and supports informed decisions, self-advocacy and safer care at home.
Isolation and low mood affect recovery as much as any physical symptom. Support here is built into the plan rather than treated as an extra.
Care rarely stays still. Continuing care means the plan is reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted rather than restarted every time circumstances shift.
Stable housing underpins everything else. We can help identify resources, complete applications and connect clients with housing partners and community programs; placement itself is not guaranteed.
Scope of practice
Clinical support is discussed at assessment and provided only where it is appropriate and within our licensed scope. If you need something outside that scope, we will say so and help you find the right provider rather than stretch a care plan to fit.
Not sure what you need?
A short conversation and a care assessment is the fastest way to build the right plan — and it costs nothing to ask.
