Caregiver / Homemaker / Non-Medical Home Care

Sometimes called custodial care, our home care givers help clients with activities of daily living or ADLs. ADLs include bathing, eating, dressing, using the bathroom, and transferring. Personal care is less involved than skilled nursing care, and thus may also be given in a home setting. Abcor Home Health provides homemaker services for personal care, household duties, and activities of daily living. The personal care provided by the agency is only performed by quality professionals who are fully trained and supervised.
