Personal Care Assistants
PCA (Personal Care Assistant) services may be available to clients who are enrolled in Medical Assistance, a MCO (managed care organization), Minnesota Care expanded benefits, (AC) Alternative Care, or a waiver program. Our Personal Care Assistants provide supportive care, helping you live as independently as possible.
PCAs provide services and support to help you with:
- Activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, grooming, and getting in and out of bed.
- Health related procedures and tasks, such as assistance with self-administered medications.
- Observation and redirection of behaviors, to keep you safe at home.
- Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), such as housekeeping, shopping, and meal preparation.
For information about scheduling an assessment to see what PCA services may be available to you, see our PCA Fact Sheet.
For more information about nursing services, call us at 612-800-4790 or contact one of our Community Liaisons.
Note: We currently accept PCA clients who have at least 21 hours of PCA needs and have their own PCA caregiver.
