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 means the difference between daily struggles and daily routines maintained with dignity, independence, and peace of mind.
It might mean assistance with household chores or personal care. It might mean learning and practicing new skills for greater self-sufficiency at home and beyond.
PennCares can help.
Our attentive caregivers and habilitation professionals provide capable, respectful, and responsive support for older adults and adults with disabilities. We work with you to create a flexible schedule that adjusts easily as your 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 help, we’re here for you.
