Personal Care Services Near Me in Pasadena, CA
If you're searching for personal care services near me, Right at Home Pasadena sends caregivers to help older adults with bathing, dressing, getting around and meals, right in their own homes.
This page explains what in-home personal care covers, who it suits, how it starts and where to go for costs. It is non-medical care: it supports daily routines and does not replace a doctor or nurse.
What is in-home personal care?
Personal care is hands-on help with the routines most of us do without thinking: washing, dressing, moving around the house, and eating. When these get harder, a caregiver comes to the home and helps, so your loved one can keep their routine in familiar surroundings.
You may also see it called personal in-home care, in home personal care or senior personal care. They all describe the same thing: practical, non-medical help with daily living, set out in a care plan agreed with your family.
It is not nursing. Treatment, injections, wound care and similar tasks need an appropriate healthcare provider.
Bathing, mobility and meals: what help looks like
Here is what our personal care covers:
- MobilityWalking and wheelchair assistance, transferring, and safety supervision.
- HygieneBathing, bed baths and shower assistance, grooming, dressing and oral care.
- ToiletingBathroom and incontinence assistance.
- MealsHelp with meals.
Caregivers can also keep notes after each visit, so the family knows what happened. Which tasks your loved one needs, and how often, is decided at the free assessment rather than guessed in advance.
Personal care and homemaker help: who needs which?
Many families ask about personal care and homemaker services together. At Right at Home, the two are separate parts of the care plan.
Personal care is the hands-on help above. Companion care covers light housekeeping, laundry, tidying, taking out the trash, meal preparation, grocery shopping, companionship and walks or outings. Plenty of households use a mix of both.
Personal care often suits an older adult who is unsteady on their feet, finds the shower difficult, or needs help getting dressed. It can also support a family caregiver who needs a break: see respite care. For memory-related needs, see dementia home care. For the full overview, visit senior in-home care.
How it starts, and who comes to your home
Care begins with a free assessment. A staff member visits the home to understand what your loved one and your family need. From there we build a care plan and match a caregiver.
All caregivers go through background and reference checks and are bonded and insured. If your family isn't happy with a match, you can switch to a different caregiver with one phone call. Read more about our caregivers and hiring standards.
Care managers can be reached 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we have served the Pasadena area for 18 years. We support English, Korean, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
