A personal assistant (sometimes called a personal care attendant or PCA) provides the support necessary for someone with a disability to live and work in the community. Typically, a personal assistant works directly for the individual with a disability, although similar services may be provided by home health aides who work for an agency like Blossom HealthCare Inc.

Who uses a PAS

Anyone who, because of a disability, needs support to accomplish everyday tasks may benefit from having a personal assistant.

  • Employees with vision impairments may need assistance with transportation if their job involves making home visits or going to different work locations.
  • People who are deaf may need the services of an interpreter.
  • Someone who needs cueing may arrange with a coworker or other natural supports to provide this support on the job.
