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

"My husband has Alzheimer's, and the caregiver from Home Instead is here to help him. We absolutely love her. My husband is very difficult, and he loves her as well. Her name is Paige. She is a wonderful companion. She fixes him his breakfast and his lunch three days a week. She helps him with his hygiene, helps him with his bathroom routine, and helps him with his shower. She engages him in conversation. They tease each other. They do a lot of laughing. My husband asks me on days she's not here, "When's our girl coming?" She is just a wonderful caregiver, very attentive, very caring, extremely personable, and just a delight to have in our house."

"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. Our big hearts and unwavering commitment haven't gone unnoticed Recognized as one of the leading human services providers in Pennsylvania, we take our commitment to improving people's lives very seriously - continually creating new and better ways to make a difference; balancing our mission focus with our business focus, so we can help more people with more services. Thanks to the innovative spirit of our employees, UDS was recognized by the Central Penn Business Journal as one of the region's most innovative nonprofit organizations. Most recently, UDS received the Samaritan Counseling Center's annual "Ethics in Business Award." Additionally, the UDS Foundation personal care division, Independent Living Services, is a certified medical assistance provider licensed by the State of Pennsylvania, and UDS Accessible Home Modifications is an accepted builder in the Department of Veterans Affairs Home Loan Guaranty Program.

"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."

"The worker is very good. She does everything I ask her to. I would like to have the same cleaning lady instead of changing ladies almost every other week. Right now, I want to keep the woman I have. She knows what to do when she comes. "
