Pride ‘N’ Living Home Care’s personal care assistant (PCA) services provide routine health and personal care support and assistance with activities of daily living to patients with physical impairments or disabilities in private homes, nursing care facilities, and other residential settings. These services are part of our commitment to delivering dependable, personalized healthcare assistance in Minnesota.

Our personal care assistants help clients overcome mobility restrictions to get out of bed, bathe, dress, and groom. They also provide some basic health-related services, such as checking the patient’s pulse rate, temperature, and respiration rate. They also help with simple prescribed exercises and assist with medication administration. Our PCAs are skilled communicators and may advise families and patients on nutrition and cleanliness, as they can also assist with light housekeeping and homemaking tasks.

Our PCAs may work exclusively with one client at a time or have several clients with long-term care needs. They may also care for newly discharged hospital patients who have relatively short-term needs.

Benefits of Personal Care Assistance

Personal care assistance offers more than daily help—it promotes independence, enhances safety, and brings comfort to individuals facing mobility challenges or chronic conditions. PCAs can bridge the gap between hospital discharge and full recovery, provide long-term care to those with disabilities, and reduce the risk of rehospitalization.

From managing medication reminders to helping with light housekeeping, our care supports the entire household while preserving the dignity of those receiving it.

Why Personal Care Matters

Many individuals experience difficulty with daily activities like grooming, mobility, and hygiene due to age, illness, or injury. Without assistance, these tasks can lead to frustration or isolation. Personal care assistants help ease this burden by offering respectful, one-on-one care focused on physical well-being, emotional reassurance, and social connection.

Whether clients need short-term support or long-term personal care, having a dependable PCA can make daily life more manageable and enjoyable.
