What is the difference between a Habilitation Counselor and a PCA or Personal Care Attendant?
A PCA will only ensure that cares such as bathing, dressing, eating, personal hygiene, and medical needs are met. A Habilitation Counselor has a broader range of responsibilities. They may assist with these tasks, but will also address a broader scope of services that may include community integration, recreation, assistance with bill paying and/or money management, socialization, apartment maintenance, street and community safety skills and grocery and personal needs shopping.
