Qualicare Home Care Greater Austin provides nonmedical Personal Assistance Services built around the person’s choices, routines, communication style and goals. We work with the person and family to identify where help increases independence rather than replacing it.
Respect for the Person Comes First
The person receiving support should be included in planning to the greatest extent possible. We use respectful, age appropriate language and do not assume a diagnosis defines preference or ability. A successful match respects how the person communicates, what they enjoy and how they want assistance offered.

- Meals, shopping and household tasks
- Transportation and community participation
- Companionship and interest based activities
- Mobility and transfer support within the service plan
