Help with Daily Living Skills
Personal Care Program at First Step
The Personal Care program at First Step is designed to help families with special needs. We can provide help for those who need assistance with at least two of the following personal care tasks:
- Eating
- Bathing
- Grooming
- Toileting
- Dressing
- Mobility and Transfer
For those who need assistance in two of the areas listed above, we can also help with meal preparation, housework, laundry, and shopping.
We’re ready to help. Here’s what will happen when you pick up the phone and call us at First Step:
- An appointment will be scheduled with one of our Registered Nurses.
- The Registered Nurse will come to your home to meet with you and assess your needs.
- We will establish a plan of care.
- We will send the plan to your doctor for approval.
- A trained, certified personal care aide will come to your home and perform the chores listed in the care plan.
Those who use our Personal Care program services may do so in connection with one of our other programs. This allows the person with special needs to take part in age-appropriate activities and routines.
Personal Care is an Arkansas Medicaid Program. If you need a Medicaid card, we can help you apply for one.
