What Is Personal Care?

Personal care (sometimes called “private duty” or “hands-on assistance”) refers to non-medical, one-on-one help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)—the fundamental tasks everyone must perform to remain healthy and comfortable.

Certified home health aides or experienced caregivers step in to:

• Bathe and shower safely

• Assist with toileting and continence care

• Help with grooming, shaving, oral hygiene, and hairstyling

• Provide dressing support & wardrobe selection

• Apply skincare lotions and monitor for pressure sores

• Manage transfers and mobility aids to reduce fall risk

• Prepare nourishing meals and feed if needed

• Prompt hydration and medication reminders

By delivering compassionate, respectful hands-on care, we eliminate the fear of slips in the tub, forgotten medications, or clothing left unchanged—allowing families to worry less and seniors to feel their best.

Our Person-Centered Approach

At Amwell Home Care, we never deliver “cookie-cutter” service. We start with a free in-home assessment where we learn about health conditions, mobility level, preferred routines, cultural or religious considerations, and privacy concerns.

Together we design a schedule—from a quick morning visit to full 24/7 care—that fits your lifestyle and budget.

• Caregiver Match Guarantee – We pair clients with aides whose skills, language, and personality align with your loved one’s needs.

• Consistent Team – Familiar faces build trust; we minimize frequent staff changes.

• Collaboration With Clinicians – On request, we coordinate with physical therapists, nurses, and physicians to reinforce care plans and spot emerging issues early.

• Transparent Communication – Digital shift notes and real-time updates keep families in the loop, whether they live in Jacksonville or across the country
