Personal care services provide assistance and support for people with disabilities, living independently in communities such as Duluth, Minnesota and the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. This includes the elderly as well as others with special health care needs. HealthStar Home Health aims to make communities and families strong by enabling individuals of all ages to live a more independent and fulfilling life. To achieve this, HealthStar Home Health offers Personal Care Assistant (PCA) services.
A personal care assistant may help individuals with daily living activities, such as:
- Eating
- Toileting
- Dressing
- Grooming
- Bathing
- Transferring and positioning
- Mobility
A PCA will also provide assistance with daily living tasks such as meal planning and preparation, shopping, managing finances, communication via telephone or other avenues, and transportation within your community. A HealthStar personal care assistant will also provide hands-on assistance with various health related functions, including mental or behavioral illnesses.
According to a recent report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare jobs and industries are expected to have the fastest employment growth and will add the most jobs between 2014 and 2024. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the slowdown of labor force due to the increase in the proportion of the population entering prime retirement age. This slowdown of labor force growth is expected, in turn, to affect the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annual growth, which is then projected to generate a 6.5% increase in new healthcare jobs between 2014 and 2024.
HealthStar Home Health recognizes that as the senior population ages, more and more Minnesota families are tasked with caring for their parents as well caring for their own family. This age group is commonly referred to as the “sandwich” generation and is quickly becoming overwhelmed when their daily job, family commitments and additional duties when caring for aging parents are all factored in. This type of situation is creating the fast-growing need for various healthcare jobs, including personal care assistants.
