Personal Support Worker

Personal Support Workers assist with Activities of Daily Living (A.D.L.). They include assistance with hygiene, grooming, dressing, and toileting. Personal Support Workers also assist with routine instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as managing finances and medication.
Managing everyday tasks can be challenging and overwhelming for people with health-related issues caused by the aging process, illness, or injury. However, having support and care can be an affordable solution that enables individuals to stay in their homes comfortably and safely.
