Personal care, companionship, and homemaking

At By Your Side, our motto is “service from the heart.” We faithfully provide care to those in need, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of aging. With a caring staff as our foundation, all things are possible!

We hire our caregivers for their empathy and experience. Then we train them to be up to date on skills needed to work with the elderly. Those skills include the following:

  • First aid and emergencies
  • Infection control
  • Dementia care and strategies
  • Maintaining a safe home environment
  • Managing medications
  • Bathing and personal care

By Your Side holds a comprehensive-level license in the state of Oregon that ensures there are registered nurses on staff. Our nurses oversee and manage medications and serve as medical backup for our in-home caregivers. In addition, they work with and train our caregivers in a variety of specialized tasks.

When you want the very best, turn to the service with heart and integrity. We are a local, veteran-owned business.

Personal care

Do you have a relative who wants to age in place but is unable to safely care for themselves?

  • Maybe they are discharged from the hospital and need a caregiver in the home until they are fully recovered.
  • Perhaps your loved one has Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia and needs daily assistance. Or they are unable to get in and out of the shower without risking a fall.
  • Are you concerned you don’t have enough strength or stamina to help your relative without getting injured?

These are some of the many reasons that families give us a call. They understand they can rely upon our knowledgeable caregivers to support a loved one during this vulnerable time.

Personal care services at home include the following:

  • Bathing, dressing, and grooming
  • Medication reminders
  • Fall prevention
  • Assistance with walking
  • Help getting in/out of chairs, in/out of bed
  • Meal preparation and feeding if needed
  • Toileting and incontinence care

Companionship

Studies reveal that loneliness is as bad for our health as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. Aging in place often results in loneliness and social isolation. As humans, we are not meant to be without regular contact with others. At By Your Side, “service from the heart” means that our caregivers come to your home ready to connect and engage. From running errands to going for walks, or simply staying at home doing a puzzle together, they reach out to make conversation and provide your loved one with regular and positive interaction.
