Pediatric Personal Care Support
Hands-on daily support that helps your child stay safe, comfortable, and confident at home, in school, and in the community.

This service may be appropriate when a child:
- Needs assistance with bathing, dressing, or hygiene
- Requires help with mobility or safe transfers
- Benefits from structured daily routines

Personal Care Support strengthens independence while ensuring families have reliable, compassionate support in place.
