Partnership In Care
Since 1994, By Your Side Home Care has helped thousands of Lancaster and York County clients remain comfortable, safe, and independent at home. Providing affordable in-home care for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and post hospital patients is what By Your Side Home Care is all about!
Available from 2 to 24 hours a day, from 1-7 days a week, professional caregivers assist with supportive hands on personal care, homemaking services, transportation, and companionship. (See care options)
Our experienced, professional staff are readily available to assist you throughout the care process. At the outset of care, you will be assigned a personal placement coordinator who will carefully listen to your needs and match the precise caregiver who will best fit the level of care you are requesting. After a caregiver is referred, we maintain regular contact with you to ensure your ongoing satisfaction. We provide the coverage you need when your regular caregiver schedules time off, or your care needs change. 24-hour emergency assistance is also provided when the unexpected occurs. Follow-up home visits to evaluate any changes in your service needs are also part of our protocol.
Care Providers
By Your Side recognizes that our reputation is built on the quality of the caregivers we refer. That is why we employ the most rigorous screening methods in the industry. Only 1 out of ten caregivers meet our standards for referral.
Our comprehensive screening includes:
- Initial phone screen
- In-person, in-depth, and behavior-based interview
- Comprehensive skills assessment testing
- Initial FBI and PA criminal background checks
- Subsequent criminal background checks every two years
- Drug screening
- Annual health screenings
- Minimum of three professional references checked
At By Your Side our clients remain in control. If you are not satisfied with any referred caregiver, for any reason, we will make every effort to refer a new caregiver who better fits your needs. Your satisfaction is always our top priority.
