Personal Care Services (PCS)

Personal care services are hands-on supplemental assistance by a paraprofessional aide with activities of daily living (ADLs). 

ADLs are the basic self-care that we initially learn as children.  ADLs include:

Walking, or otherwise getting around the home or outside. The technical term for this is “ambulating.”

Feeding, as in being able to get food from a plate into one’s mouth.

Dressing and grooming, as in selecting clothes, putting them on, and adequately managing one’s personal appearance.

Toileting, which means getting to and from the toilet, using it appropriately, and cleaning oneself.

Bathing, which means washing one’s face and body in the bath or shower.

Transferring, which means being able to move from one body position to another. This includes being able to move from a bed to a chair, or into a wheelchair. This can also include the ability to stand up from a bed or chair in order to grasp a walker or other assistive device.

When appropriate, personal care services may also include assistance with homemaking IADLs (such as cleaning up after a bath, washing towels, etc. after an aide has assisted with bathing) when these services are directly related to the beneficiary's qualifying ADLs and IADLs.

Beneficiaries requiring personal assistance resulting from a cognitive-related impairment may also receive PCS that include cueing, prompting, guiding, coaching, and setups for IADL services that may be required for the individual to complete the ADL task.


CAP

Enables eligible beneficiaries to remain in their homes or to return to their homes from nursing facilities and live as independently as possible. CAP services include the provision of personal care services along with supplemental formal and informal services purposed to prevent or reduce institutionalizations by providing case management and other needed waiver services.  

Respite

Respite care is a service designed to give family caregivers a period of rest (or “respite”) from the daily responsibility of caring for their loved ones. It can apply to both adult and pediatric patients. The respite period can vary depending on a family’s needs and benefits but often range from a few hours to a few days or weeks. It is commonly provided by home care agencies, nursing and assisted living facilities, adult day care centers, individual care professionals and family and friends.

The specifics of a patient’s respite services are based on their individual needs and care plan. Here are some common respite care services you can expect:
