Home Support
Lumacare understands the demands and pressures of aging at home and living independently. We are here to help coordinate the services you need.
What is Home Support?Personal Support Workers (PSWs) provide assistance with personal care and household management, along with temporary relief for caregivers so that they may tend to their own needs.
All of our PSWs have obtained a College Personal Support Worker Certificate working with older adults with complex needs and completed field training.
PSWs are not able to administer or dispense medication; however, they can remind you to take your medication.
Program Highlights
- Assistance with personal care tasks (bathing, toileting, feeding, grooming, dressing, ambulation)
- Help with light housekeeping (laundry, meal preparation, essential grocery shopping)
- Short-term overnight stays are available
Please note: an in-home assessment may be required before service can be provided in this program.
