The 10 Best Home Care Agencies for Seniors in Columbia County, PA for 2025

"Home Instead met the needs of the family that was requested. The care provided was on a very limited basis over weekends. But an employee was always available, and the persons who were being cared for seemed to be pleased with their service. We would recommend Home Instead for your family needs. Richard Boop"

"My mother has had care for over two years now at her home. It’s a fairly rural area where mother lives, and Home Care were about the only people that would provide and have enough caregivers for around the clock care for her. The caregivers come on time. They are there to provide car services, help her use the bathroom, help her shower, help dress her, and take care of the meals. They try to engage her once in a while, play some games, or go for walks if the weather is nice. I would recommend them. "

"My mother has some aides come to her home from CareGivers America - Berwick, PA. She is very happy with them. They do a really good job. They provide regular nursing aide service. They do light housekeeping, cooking, and laundry. They also do puzzles with her and that type of thing. They take her for walks and rides. They do the scheduling. As far as the billing, my mom has medical assistance, so it's all taken care of through that. Medical assistance tells us how many hours my mom has for the week and then we kind of came up with our own schedule of what would work for us, and they accommodated us. In the beginning, it was a little rocky. They didn't have a whole lot of help in the beginning. Now that they have a manager for Berwick, it's much easier to manage. We've had nothing but good service ever since she came there. They are pretty good now. If there are any issues, she steps up to the plate and takes care of them right away."

"We had on and off services from Comfort Keepers for my mother-in-law. There were certain things they couldn't do for us, we wanted to give them the key to the building because she didn’t have an electronic lock to let them in, but they did not take it. Other than that, they were good. They did almost everything and would do anything for her liked gave her a bath or made her lunch. They even became friends or companion during that time. "

It was 1965 when we were inspired by the touching story of a young girl named Anna who was unable to attend a local theater showing of Mary Poppins with the other children...because she was in a wheelchair. From this inspiration was born United Cerebral Palsy of Lancaster County. In 2000, we became United Disabilities Services (UDS) - a new name to reflect our greatly expanded capabilities.

"We got Independent Life Home Care & Concierge Solutions for my brother-in-law. They're okay, we've been using them a few years. Before he was only allowed two hours a day, so they would come in and make his supper, maybe do some light housekeeping. But now that he needs more care, they gave him ten hours a day, seven days a week. The caregivers are good, I don't have any problems with them, it's just the agency doesn't have many caregivers, and they're short-staffed a lot."
