Caregivers assist clients with ambulation through physical assistance or supervision depending on the need.

Caregivers can assist clients with transfers only when the client has sufficient balance and strength to reliably stand, pivot, and assist with the transfer. Adaptive and safety equipment may be used in transfers, provided that the client is fully trained in the use of the equipment and can direct the transfer step by step. Adaptive equipment may include, but is not limited to wheelchairs, shower chairs, and grab bars.
Reminders: Caregivers can assist a client with medication reminders but only when medications have been pre-selected or prepared by the client, a family member, a nurse, or a pharmacist and are stored in containers other than the prescription bottles, such as weekly medication boxes. Medication boxes must be clearly marked as to the day and time of dosage.
Please note: Medication reminding includes inquiries as to whether medications were taken, verbal prompting to take medications, handing the appropriately marked weekly medication box to the client, and opening the appropriately marked box for the client if the client is physically unable to open the container. These limitations apply to all prescription and all over-the-counter medications.
Caregivers can assist with groceries, paying the client’s bills, or any other shopping only after authorization is obtained to access the client’s personal funds.

Peace of Mind for Our Clients and Their Families
When routine tasks become too much to handle alone, By Your Side Home Health Services offers hourly services to assist our clients with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, medication reminders, errands, and much more. By helping with daily activities, our hourly home caregivers enable clients to maintain their normal routines and independence, while staying in the comfort of their home.
Our professional caregivers are dedicated to the overall well-being of their clients. We are on call to serve you 24/7, so help is available immediately. There is no long-term commitment with hourly home care from By Your Side Home Health Services. Use our services for as long as you need them.
Each caregiver is experienced in caring for seniors and undergoes a thorough background check to ensure the safety of our clients. To maintain professionalism, our live-in caregivers are only allowed at the client’s home during assigned hours and must have their own separate residence. They are strictly forbidden from using their client’s property for personal use.
We make it our everyday goal to ensure that each client, not only benefits but also feels joy and peace by the service we bring along with our “whatever the client needs” attitude. We plan on setting our service apart from other agencies by simply striving to always provide graceful and comforting treatment.
