What Are Personal Care Assistant (PCA)?

Services provided by Personal Care Assistants (PCAs), a non-medical form of home care, enable individuals with disabilities of any age to live independently at home and at work and to participate in their communities. A personal care attendant is a type of personal support worker who works under the supervision of an authorized representative or an older adult with a handicap.

Planning, preparing, and shopping for groceries are important aspects of a Personal Care Assistant’s work. For all individuals, a steady and nourishing diet is necessary. It follows that the Personal Care Aide needs to be well-versed in healthy meal planning and knowledgeable about any dietary requirements or condition-specific details that may influence a person’s eating habits.
