What Are Personal Assistance Services?Personal Assistance Services (PAS) refer to help provided to people with disabilities to assist them with tasks essential for daily living. These tasks include bathing, dressing, getting around, toileting, eating, shopping, remembering things, and other activities. PAS, along with assistive technology such as wheelchairs, text readers, and hearing aids, help people with disabilities to participate in activities at home, at work, and in the community. PAS is also known as long term care (LTC), caregiving, attendant care, personal care services (PCS), assistive care and other terms that refer to one person helping another to do daily activities. While in some cases, this assistance is formal (paid), the majority of this assistance takes the form of unpaid family or friends who give informal assistance.
