Private Duty Care (PDC) can assist families in keeping their loved one at home, or supplement care in a facility. PDC can lessen the stress of family members so that they have time to enjoy parent/child or spousal relationship. Family members who live at a distance often feel reassured to know that someone is checking in with and helping their loved one at home. PDC can protect dignity, increase comfort, and help clients maintain their independence.
