24-hour care vs live-in care
With 24-hour care, caregivers work in shifts and stay awake through the night. With live-in care, one caregiver stays in the home and gets a sleep break. 24-hour care suits a parent who is up often at night or needs help moving safely at any hour.
When families choose it
- After a fall, when nights feel risky
- Later-stage dementia or Alzheimer's
- Coming home from the hospital and still weak
- A spouse who can't do nights any more
- End of life, alongside hospice
Planning the schedule
We build a steady team who know your parent and keep the same faces on the same shifts wherever we can. You can start small, with overnight shifts first, and add days later.
What a family says
After Dad's fall we needed someone there every night. The team showed up, the same faces every week, and we all sleep again.
24-Hour Care questions
How fast can 24-hour care start?
It depends on the week. Tell us how soon on the form, and we'll give you a real start date on your Care Call.
Is 24-hour care more than assisted living?
Usually, because caregivers are dedicated to your parent alone. Many families use it for a period, such as after a hospital stay, rather than for good.
