In-Home Personal Care Assistance Services
HFC's In-Home
Services Program addresses the needs of those elderly members of the Hispanic
community who are partially or fully shut-in and unable to attend to all
of their needs. Specially trained bilingual Personal Care Assistants visit
on a regular basis and provide as-needed care and assistance such as assistance
with: chores, light meals, light house cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping,
etc.
One of the
most important roles that the Personal Care Assistant serves is one of
companionship. Many seniors who are homebound often do not have opportunities
for basic human contact, but the Personal Care Assistant provides this
contact for the individual.
