What is the primary goal of PCA services?

The primary goal of PCA (Personal Care Assistance) services is to promote independence and enhance the quality of life for clients. PCA services are designed to support individuals in carrying out daily activities that they may struggle with due to aging, illness, or disability. This support allows clients to maintain as much autonomy as possible in their lives while receiving assistance with tasks such as personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, and other essential daily routines.

Focusing on independence helps individuals remain in their own homes and communities, fostering a sense of dignity and self-worth. By promoting quality of life, PCA services emphasize the importance of personal choice and participation in activities that are meaningful to each individual, thereby improving overall well-being and satisfaction.
