What is PCS?

At OneSource, we make it a priority to provide assistance for you or your loved ones in the home while encouraging independent living. This verbal and physical assistance is referred to as Personal Care Services (PCS). PCS includes activities related to personal care and hygiene, companionship, homemaking, and transportation.

When does someone need Personal Care Services?

If you or a loved one has difficulty performing simple daily tasks or activities, then it may be time to consider aid through Personal Care Services. PCS is common for individuals suffering from a medical condition, cognitive impairment, or disability. This form of care is offered for those striving to live independently in the community, but who require assistance in doing so.
