What is a PCA worker?

PCA workers, or Personal Care Assistants, are professionals who help individuals with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or age-related conditions perform daily activities. Their duties often include assisting with personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and mobility. PCA workers enable clients to live more independently in their homes and communities. They may work in private residences, assisted living facilities, or for home care agencies, and their responsibilities can vary depending on the client's needs.
