A Personal Care Assistant is someone who helps with daily routines for individuals who have a chronic illness or injuries. Daily living activities include personal hygiene, dressing, showering, grooming and even eating.
Personal Care Assistants are a little more involved when it comes to a day-to-day routine. Typically helping with non-medical-related issues, like reminding them to take their medicine to bedridden care, assisting with showers and so-forth.
Personal Care Assistants are more trained professionals in the fields. They all go through a form of continuous training to keep up to date on the latest methodologies on patient safety handling, lifting, etc.
