What Is Personal Care?
Hands-On Help. Delivered with Dignity.
Personal care is non-medical, hands-on assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs) — bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, and more. It is designed for seniors who need physical support but want to remain safely in their own home rather than move to a facility.
At Divine Living Home Care, our personal care aides are trained, insured, and carefully matched to each client. We understand that allowing someone to help with intimate tasks requires enormous trust — and we earn that trust through consistency, professionalism, and genuine compassion.
Every care plan is customized. Some clients need help only with morning routines. Others require support throughout the day. We work with you and your family to build a plan that fits — and we adjust as needs change over time.
We serve families across Hingham, Norwell, Scituate, Marshfield, Duxbury, Plymouth, Brockton, Cohasset, and Cape Cod.

Recognizing the Signs
4 Signs Your Loved One May Need Personal Care
Difficulty with Daily Tasks
Your loved one is struggling with bathing, dressing, or grooming — tasks they once handled independently.
Frequent Falls or Unsteadiness
You've noticed balance issues, bruises, or close calls that suggest mobility support is needed.
Declining Hygiene
Unwashed clothing, body odor, or unkempt appearance may signal they need hands-on help but won't ask.
Caregiver Burnout
You or another family member are providing personal care and feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to continue.
