Hospice Care

Thank you so much for all of your help during the last years of Jayce’s life. Your work was a great support for Mike & I and gave us wonderful relief. We always felt very comfortable and confidant in the many caregivers that stayed with Jayce. We really enjoyed them and know that Jayce did too. Your work is so very important so thank you again.

Home Hospice Care in Lancaster & York PA

For over twenty years, By Your Side Home Care has partnered with local Hospice Care companies in Lancaster and York PA to provide supplemental, non-medical care that keeps your loved ones comfortable in their own homes.

Our hospice caregivers work tirelessly to ensure that your loved one feels completely comfortable and supported. We have earned the appreciation of many hospice care companies throughout Lancaster and York, and they often recommend our services as a supplemental component to their own.

What Our Home Hospice Care Aides Do

While our caregivers are unable to assist with any medical duties, they are a resource for keeping your loved one comfortable, ensuring they take their medication, assisting with personal care, and maintaining a comfortable household.

When a person is receiving hospice care at home, it is because they have chosen to live their finals days in the place they find most pleasing and familiar. Doing everything possible to make those days as pain-free and comfortable is the mission of the entire hospice staff. Our hospice home care aides also follow that mission, with experience providing care and necessary support to someone in their time of greatest need.

As is the case with our traditional in-home care aides, our home hospice care aides perform a wide variety of tasks, including:

Toileting
Cleaning the home
Preparing food
Taking out the garbage
Bathing
Making reminders about medication
Assisting with phone calls
Running errands
Dressing
Overnight care
Companionship & conversation

Since hospice doctors’ and nurses’ time can be somewhat limited, these tasks can be especially beneficial to you and your loved one. Doing everything possible to keep your loved one well-attended and their home orderly can be a comfort during the end-of-life stages.

Why Supplemental Hospice Care at Home is Important

The hospice care team is comprised of doctors, nurses, social workers, and even chaplains. While all of these people are extremely sensitive and skilled, their time is split between your loved one and many other patients as well.

As much as they would like to provide the small but important help around the home, they are likely not able to. Having another trusted professional to provide those supplemental services can be a massive relief to your loved one, to the hospice staff, and to you and the rest of your family.

We have heard from many families that our caregivers made a tremendous impact on them and their loved one’s final days. At By Your Side Care, this is a responsibility we take very seriously, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve your family.

But don’t just take our word for it, read over what a few of our clients say about our hospice services!
