Personal Care Assistant (PCA) Services in New York City & Long Island
Hands-on daily living support delivered with dignity and respect — helping your loved one maintain independence in their own home.
What Is A Personal Care Assistant?
A Personal Care Assistant (PCA) provides direct, hands-on support with the physical tasks of daily life that have become difficult to manage independently, bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and mobility. The goal is to help your loved one maintain as much independence and dignity as possible while ensuring their safety and comfort at home.
Unlike a Home Health Aide, a PCA does not perform medical tasks or work under a clinical care plan. PCAs are ideal for individuals who need consistent physical support with daily activities but do not require nursing-level medical care.
Eden's PCAs are trained, background-checked employees who understand that personal care is intimate, and that the relationship between a caregiver and client is built on trust, respect, and consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Care Assistant Services
What's the difference between a Home Health Aide and a Personal Care Assistant?
A Personal Care Assistant supports daily living tasks without a medical component. A Home Health Aide has additional clinical training, they can monitor vitals, work under a nursing care plan, and assist with health-related tasks. If you're unsure which your loved one needs, a care coordinator will help you figure it out.
Can a PCA help with both personal care and light housekeeping?
Yes, Eden's PCAs assist with personal care tasks and light daily household tasks as part of the care plan.
Will my loved one always have the same aide?
We prioritize consistency. Eden matches your loved one with a primary caregiver and maintains that relationship as long as it's working well. If a backup is ever needed, we provide one seamlessly.
