Quality Personal Care in Pittsburgh

Personal care services help Pittsburgh residents complete the daily tasks they can no longer safely manage alone. The six core activities are bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, transferring, and eating. Most clients need help with two or three. A few need help with all six. Personal care is hands-on by definition. Caregivers physically assist with movement, hygiene, and toileting. That is what separates it from companion care, where the caregiver provides company, meals, and errands but does not touch the client beyond steadying a hand. Care Solutions trains every personal care aide in safe transfer technique, body mechanics, and infection control. We use gait belts for transfers from bed to wheelchair or wheelchair to toilet. We follow handwashing protocols between every task. We watch for early signs of pressure injury, urinary tract infection, and skin breakdown. Bathing is the single highest fall-risk activity in most homes. We assess the bathroom during intake and recommend grab bars, a shower chair, and a non-slip mat when those are missing. Dignity is non-negotiable. Our caregivers explain each step, ask permission before touching, and protect privacy through proper draping. They report changes in skin, behavior, or appetite to our supervisor the same day. The supervisor decides whether to alert the family or call the primary care physician. Call (412) 341-7780. We serve Pittsburgh and the surrounding neighborhoods across Allegheny County.

Our personal care services help individuals maintain their hygiene, comfort, and dignity when they need assistance with activities of daily living. Every caregiver is trained to provide compassionate, respectful care.
