Help in the Home Domiciliary Care ProgramDomiciliary Care Program
PCA’s Domiciliary Care (Dom Care) program matches certified home providers with those in need of a caring, supportive home. Dom Care residents are unable to live independently due to physical, emotional or mental impairments, but do not need special around-the-clock attention. Providers are people in the community who want to open up their homes to provide care for up to two consumers.
Care managers match consumers and home providers according to their preferences, and continue to work closely with them to ensure that the match remains mutually beneficial.
