    Jessica: "Having the right care and support allows me to actively live the life I’ve been given"

    August 22, 2023

    When you follow your heart to a caring career, you make a real difference in the lives of others. Jessica shared this information—in her own words—about the difference having dedicated Personal Care Assistants (PCAs) have made in her life.

    How does having the right care and support make a real difference in your life?

    Having the right care and support allows me to actively live the life I’ve been given. My PCAs help me with every activity of my daily living. They get me out of bed and showered, help with my bathroom needs, grooming, getting dressed, and many other tasks. With my PCA's total assistance, I can prepare and eat healthy food. Because of my PCA’s support in my life, I could get to work and have a career for over 25 years and be out in the community and participate in the world. If I didn’t have PCAs, none of this would be possible.
