Personal Care

Respectful Support for Daily Living — Right Here in Pennsylvania

Personal Care helps people with everyday physical needs while supporting comfort, safety, and independence at home.

At Around Town Homecare, we provide respectful, professional personal care tailored to each individual’s needs—so families can feel supported and individuals can thrive in the communities they call home.

Pennsylvania’s older adult population is growing — and with it, the need for compassionate, skilled personal care in local communities.

What Is Personal Care?

Personal Care focuses on assistance with essential activities of daily living (ADLs), including hygiene, mobility, dressing, and toileting. This support helps individuals live more safely, comfortably, and independently, especially when physical limitations affect routine tasks.

Why Personal Care Matters in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is home to approximately 3.4 million older adults, one of the largest senior populations in the United States. By 2030, as many as one in three Pennsylvanians will be age 60 or older, driving increased demand for in-home supports like personal care.

National research supports the importance of personal care:

  • Proper assistance with daily activities reduces fall risk and injury
  • Consistent support improves hygiene and skin health
  • Hands-on care decreases hospital readmissions and caregiver stress

This isn’t just care — it’s community care that keeps people engaged, safe, and respected at home.

What Our Personal Care Services Include

Our caregivers deliver trained, compassionate support based on each individual’s preferences and abilities. Services may include:

  • Assistance with bathing and personal hygiene
  • Dressing and grooming support
  • Toileting and incontinence care
  • Safe mobility and transfers
  • Meal assistance and hydration support
  • Routine support with medications (non-medical reminders)

Every visit is provided with dignity, permission, and active communication.

Who Benefits From Personal Care?

Personal care can support:

  • Seniors facing mobility challenges
  • Adults recovering from surgery or illness
  • Individuals with chronic conditions limiting independence
  • Families needing reliable, respectful in-home support
  • Anyone who values staying active and secure at home

With Pennsylvania’s aging population increasing rapidly, more people and families are turning to trusted in-home personal care.

Safety, Dignity & Community-Based Support

At Around Town Homecare, we base our services on evidence-informed safety standards:

  • Protecting against falls with safe transfer techniques
  • Maintaining skin health and personal hygiene
  • Respecting personal boundaries and preferences
  • Encouraging mobility and active participation
  • Supporting routines that promote well-being

We don’t just complete tasks — we care for the whole person.

How Personal Care Supports Pennsylvania Families

Pennsylvania families provide billions of dollars in unpaid elder care every year — but that often comes with emotional, financial, and physical strain. Professional personal care services help ease that burden by:

  • Ensuring consistent, trained support
  • Providing structured routines that improve safety
  • Giving families peace of mind and time to rest
  • Strengthening connections within local communities

Together, we help families and neighbors live with dignity and connection.

Practical, Community-Focused Tips

For clients & families:

  • Accepting help early can prevent injuries and keep routines stable
  • Keeping communication open improves care outcomes
  • Maintaining hydration and skin care protects overall health
  • Personal care complements, not replaces, family involvement

We’re here to help you make care decisions that feel right for your family and your home.
