PennCares helps older adults and individuals with disabilities maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life at home through personalized in-home care and support services.
A little extra help can make all the difference.
Sometimes the right support is what allows daily routines to continue with dignity, independence, and peace of mind.
It may mean assistance with household chores or personal care. It may mean companionship and a reassuring presence throughout the day.
PennCares can help.
Our caregivers provide capable, respectful, and responsive in-home support for older adults and adults with physical disabilities. We work with each person to create a flexible schedule that adjusts easily as care needs or preferences change.
Our compassionate team members are thoroughly screened, extensively trained, and reliable. Whether you or your loved one needs daily assistance or occasional support, we’re here for you.
