Aging isn’t what it used to be. Many seniors and adults with disabilities want to remain at home, surrounded by comfort, not hospitals or institutions. But the challenges of bathing, dressing, grooming, and moving safely often require a little help.
At Vital Health Services, we provide compassionate, skilled Personal Care Services in Greater NJ, helping individuals maintain independence while living safely at home.
Whether you’re caring for a loved one in Bloomfield, Montclair, or West Orange, our personal care assistants bring peace of mind and a helping hand.
What Are Personal Care Services?
Personal care is hands-on assistance with the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), the basic tasks needed for everyday life.
Our certified aides and professionals support individuals with:
- Bathing and hygiene assistance
- Dressing and grooming
- Mobility and transferring (bed to chair)
- Incontinence and toileting care
- Medication reminders
- Meal preparation and light feeding assistance
This care is ideal for seniors, individuals with mobility issues, recovering patients, or those with developmental or cognitive disabilities.
Who Provides the Care?
Our trained personal care assistants (PCAs) and home health aides (HHAs) are:
- Certified and background-checked
- Experienced with both physical and cognitive support
- Trained in fall prevention, mobility assistance, and safe lifting techniques
- Compassionate and respectful of your loved one’s dignity
We match caregivers to clients based on personality, language, gender preference, and health needs, ensuring comfort and continuity.
Why Choose In-Home Personal Care?
For many families in Essex County, hiring a personal care aide is a way to keep their loved one at home without sacrificing safety. Some key benefits include:
- Aging in place with dignity
- One-on-one care in a familiar environment
- Improved hygiene, nutrition, and safety
- Reduced risk of hospital readmission
- Support for family caregivers

At Vital Health Services, we develop custom personal care plans based on:
- Daily schedule and preferences
- Health conditions and medications
