To our valued Clients and Families:

We want you to know that in this challenging time of uncertainty, the safety and health of clients and employees are always our top priority for us at At Your Side Home Care. Therefore, we are actively monitoring developments as the COVD-19 situation continually evolves to ensure that we have accurate information to guide us including updates and procedures issued from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) State Department of Health, local and county authorities, the Home Care Association of America and other agencies and resources.

Currently, for those above age 60 and with compromised immune systems, their recommendation is that the safest place to be is at home. It is recommended that you have extra supplies of medications and basic necessities on hand. And everyone is asked to follow proper handwashing techniques. Please see the CDC website listed below for more detailed information.

At At Your Side Home Care, all of our caregivers are aware of practicing proper infection control, staying home when sick, and staying home if exposed to a family member has been recently ill. All of our caregivers know to immediately communicate these situations to us. These are already established safety practices not new to our staff. We have communicated the importance of following both existing and new protocols in light of this outbreak. For clients we serve who reside in facilities or other group-type living situations, we will work closely with the facility on any protocols, exchange of information, or other guidelines as necessary.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us. I want to assure you that we are doing our best to protect your loved ones and our staff and will continue to update you as necessary if more or different information becomes available.

Co-Owner at At Your Side Home Care

For most of us, the word "home" evokes warm feelings of comfort, security and well-being. For older adults, home also means holding tight to cherished memories and maintaining self-esteem and independence. When illness, injury or age make life a little more challenging, remaining at home in a comfortable, familiar environment encourages recovery and enhances the quality of life. Home can be defined as a private residence, an independent or assisted living facility or even a short term stay in the hospital, we recognize the additional benefits provided by a personal, professional assistant.

Our Certified Nurse Aides, 24-Hour Live-in Assistants and Home Health Aides are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We also provide the security and confidence of 24-hour Telephone Assistance, so fast, reliable help is always available when it's needed. To learn more about our homecare services see our homecare services page.

Different people need different levels of homecare. To meet the requirements of our clients, At Your Side Homecare maintains consistent staffing levels of caring professionals. Homecare service is available for as little as a few hours a week, or as many as 24 hours a day, seven days a week
