Personal Care Assistance in Rural America

Abstract: 

PCAs provide essential services for people with self-care disabilities (eg, difficulty dressing, bathing, and running errands) and yet are not sufficiently available where there are higher numbers of people with self-care disabilities. This StoryMap online resource explores where people with disabilities who need help with self-care and daily activities live, and compare that to where PCAs are located. This will help to better understand if there are enough PCA workers available where they are needed.
