PRIVATE CARE
If you or a loved one is in need of a caregiver at home, typically it is referred to as Personal home care or private duty care. This makes it possible for seniors to age in place while living with physical disabilities or chronic health conditions.
This type of home care includes help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Seniors who receive private or personal home care can maintain their independence and continue living at home, rather than transferring to a care facility.
