Personal Care Assistance (PCA/CFSS)

Daily routines can become difficult when health needs change, making simple tasks feel physically or emotionally draining. Personal Care Assistance and CFSS help adults stay comfortable and independent by providing steady support throughout the day. Whether someone is recovering from an injury, living with a disability, or managing long-term health challenges, this service adapts to real-life needs at home. The goal is to ease the stress of daily living while respecting personal comfort and privacy. Through Miles of Cares LLC, adults receive dependable assistance that helps them maintain dignity and control over their routines.

What Is PCA?

Personal Care Assistance (PCA) helps adults with disabilities or health challenges complete everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and moving safely at home. It provides hands-on support that makes daily routines easier, safer, and more manageable, allowing individuals to maintain independence and dignity. PCA also brings peace of mind to families by offering reliable and consistent care.

What Is CFSS?

Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is Minnesota’s updated and more flexible version of PCA. It offers the same essential daily-living support but gives adults more choice and control over how their care is delivered. CFSS allows individuals to participate in planning, choose their workers, and access additional tools that support greater independence and self-direction.

Our PCA/CFSS services include:

• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs): bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, transfers
• Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs): meal preparation, shopping, light housekeeping
• Health-related tasks and medication reminders
• Behavioral support through observation and redirection
• Education and guidance to help clients understand and participate in Minnesota’s CFSS care models
• Flexible support options for clients with disabilities or special health needs to live independently
