Personal Support Services (PSS)
In-home personal care — no live-in requirement
Personal Support Services (PSS) provides in-home personal care — help with bathing, dressing, meals, and daily tasks — from a caregiver who does not have to live in the home.
It's a flexible option for families who need reliable support but can't have a caregiver move in. The number of care hours is set by a nurse assessment based on the family member's needs.
