Referral Services
Referring the best caregiver is our first priority.
Referral Service for Pre-Vetted Caregivers
YourLife Referral Service is a referral source for independent in-home senior caregivers in Erie and Niagara counties. We are a referral service for companions, personal care assistants, home health aides, certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses and registered nurses. These caregivers operate as independent contractors relative to YourLife Referral Service; we are strictly a referral source. They are a great option for those who need some additional assistance but wish to retain their lifestyle in the comforts of their own home, and for those in facilities who need personalized attention.
Prior to making a referral, a YourLife Referral Service professional will meet with you and your family to discuss your caregiver preferences. We review the active caregivers in our database and, based on our experience, endeavor to refer caregivers who we believe are the best match with your stated preferences. Because you are always in control of your care, you may end a relationship and request a referral of an alternative caregiver who may be more compatible at any time.
The Family-Directed Care Model that we support puts you in control of your care. You design your own daily schedule and select the caregiver among our referrals that you believe could help you meet all your needs. Under this model, clients can awaken at their desired time, bathe or shower when they choose, enjoy meals of their preference, take trips to entertainment venues or outdoor recreation areas that they select, all while accompanied by a caregiver. This model is far superior to and less expensive than living in a residential healthcare facility and offers the added benefit of allowing you to continue doing what you enjoy while living in a familiar, comforting environment. This option is also different from a home care agency, where your home care is managed by the agency, rather than by you.

Nothing but good things to say about YourLife Referral Service. Very professional staff and great caregiver referrals. A life changer for my father who was able to regain a portion of his life back, and I was able to gain the confidence that he would always be looked after properly.
Thank you very much for referring a wonderful caregiver to my mother in her final weeks. It meant so much to be able to keep her home. Thank you!
Just want to thank you for all the compassion and care [my husband] and I received from the caregiver you referred. It was a pleasure to deal with you under some difficult circumstances!
