About this service
Personal care is help with the daily routines most of us never think about until they become hard: getting in and out of the shower, getting dressed, using the bathroom safely. It is often the first kind of help a family needs after a fall or a hospital stay, and the kind a parent is most reluctant to accept. Our caregivers give that help with patience and discretion, so your parent keeps as much independence and privacy as possible.

How it works
Book personal care by the hour, starting from a one-hour visit, with no weekly minimum and no long-term contract. One hourly rate covers every Carenami service. Your dedicated Care Captain matches your parent with a background-checked caregiver, keeps the same caregiver on the schedule wherever possible, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
