What Is Personal Care?
Beyond Basic Companion Care
Personal care refers to hands-on assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), including bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and eating. When physical conditions, cognitive changes, or recovery needs make these tasks difficult to manage alone, personal care provides the skilled, respectful support that keeps daily life moving safely.
Personal care is distinct from companion care, which covers lighter support such as housekeeping, errands, and conversation. Many Heart of Gold clients receive both as part of a single, integrated plan built around their full range of needs.
Screened, trained, and insured caregivers
Caregivers who treat your home with the utmost respect.
Continuous communication
Between you, your family, your caregiver, and our field supervisors.
The Heart of Gold Approach to Personal Care in Stroudsburg, PA
Providing personal care well requires more than technical skill. It requires patience, sensitivity, and genuine respect for the person receiving care. At Heart of Gold, we begin with a thorough in-home assessment to understand both your loved one’s physical needs and their personal preferences and routines.
From there, we match each client with a caregiver based on skills, experience, and compatibility. Every caregiver has passed a full background check and drug screening. Each personalized care plan is revisited regularly to ensure care always reflects the current situation rather than an outdated assessment.
Detailed Personal Care Services We Provide
Below is a detailed look at each area of personal care assistance Heart of Gold provides to families throughout Stroudsburg, PA, and Monroe County.
Bathing and Hygiene Assistance
Bathing is one of the most personal activities of daily life, and assisting with it requires both skill and genuine sensitivity. Heart of Gold caregivers are trained to support tub and shower bathing, bed baths, and sponge baths, depending on your loved one’s mobility and comfort level.
Dressing and Grooming Support
Getting dressed sets the tone for the entire day, and our caregivers understand the difference it makes to look and feel like oneself. We assist in selecting appropriate clothing, using adaptive garments, button hooks, and shoe horns as needed.
Toileting and Incontinence Care
Toileting and incontinence needs are among the most sensitive areas of personal care in Stroudsburg, PA, and we approach them with complete discretion and professionalism. Our caregivers follow scheduled toileting prompts to support continence habits and reduce accidents.
Mobility and Transfer Assistance
Moving safely from bed to chair, from chair to bathroom, or from room to room requires proper technique and trained support. Heart of Gold caregivers are trained in standby assist for clients who need nearby supervision, and in hands-on transfer techniques using gait belts for added safety.

Thank you, Heart of Gold. You are more than an agency to me and my family. Your workers are caring people. I live with a degenerative disease that is slowly tearing me apart. You and your staff always show me the best of care, from washing my body, feeding me, and keeping my surroundings clean, to being a friend when I need one. Thank you, Heart of Gold, for over five years of good service and caring people.
★★★★★
The Heart of Gold caregivers that took care of my mother were truly exceptional. Their loving care and attention enabled my mother to remain living in her home. Whenever I visited, my mother always looked very well cared for and spoke very highly of her caregivers who also became her friends. When I left, I knew she would be safe and that was a big relief for me. When my mother, at age 98, passed away her main care providers attended her funeral. We all hugged and said good-bye. It showed me how blessed my mother was to have been surrounded by such wonderful people.
