Consulting On:
Personal Care Attendant (PCA) agencies
Personal Care Attendant (PCA) Agencies employ and train personal care attendants who provide assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and meal preparation, to individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions.

Home Care Agencies
Home care agencies specialize in providing a wide range of in-home care services, including personal care assistance. They employ and train personal care attendants who assist individuals with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and meal preparation.
Private Duty Agencies
Private duty agencies offer personalized in-home care services, including personal care assistance, to individuals who require ongoing support. They provide trained personal care attendants who work directly with clients and their families to meet their specific care needs.
Medicaid Waiver Programs
Some states have Medicaid waiver programs that allow individuals to receive personal care services in their homes. These programs often contract with PCA agencies to provide trained personal care attendants to eligible individuals.
Consumer-Directed Programs
Consumer-directed programs, also known as self-directed or participant-directed programs, allow individuals with disabilities or chronic health conditions to hire and manage their own personal care attendants. These programs may provide support, training, and resources to individuals who prefer to have more control over their care.
Disability Services Organizations
Nonprofit organizations and disability services agencies may offer personal care attendant services as part of their comprehensive support programs for individuals with disabilities. These organizations may also provide advocacy, case management, and other related services.
Hospice Agencies
Hospice agencies focus on providing compassionate end-of-life care and support. They may have personal care attendants who assist individuals with personal care needs during this time, ensuring comfort and dignity.
Home Health Care Agencies
Home health care agencies provide skilled nursing and medical care services, but they may also offer personal care assistance through their trained personal care attendants. This allows individuals to receive both medical and non-medical support at home.
Independent Living Centers
Independent Living Centers (ILCs) support individuals with disabilities in living independently in the community. Some ILCs have programs that include personal care attendant services to help individuals with their daily activities.
Health and Wellness Programs Providers
ADRCs may organize health promotion and wellness programs for older adults and individuals with disabilities. These programs may include health screenings, educational workshops, exercise classes, and nutrition counseling.
