Around The Clock Care

What is "Home?"

For most of us, the word “home” evokes warm feelings of comfort, security and well-being. For older adults, home also means holding tight to cherished memories and maintaining self-esteem and independence. When illness, injury or age make life a little more challenging, remaining at home in a comfortable, familiar environment encourages recovery and enhances the quality of life. Home can be defined as a private residence, an independent or assisted living facility or even a short term stay in the hospital, we recognize the additional benefits provided by a personal, professional assistant.

 

What is 24-Hours Home Care?

24-Hour Home Care is a comprehensive service that provides assistance in all aspects of daily living activities. This includes providing companionship and assistance with everyday tasks like bathing and dressing, light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation to appointments and errands, medication management and more.

What is Live-In Care? 

A live-in caregiver resides in the client’s home and provides consistent assistance with daily functions. They are trained to take on tasks like bathing, eating & toileting so that your loved one can have a more comfortable life. A live-in caretaker will reside at your loved one’s house for 24-hours every day of the week and be there when they need help performing their basic Activities of Daily Living or if they show any signs of distress. This is especially helpful because a live-in caregiver and the senior have a more personal bond. The caregiver knows the daily routine and is a consistent presence in the home. Benefits of a Live-In Caregiver are: lower rates, easy transitioning, communication and reliability. Live-in caregivers work around the clock to take care of their clients. The 8-hour break and sleeping bed are provided for them so they can rest when not working. Live-In Home Care may not be the best choice for the senior who needs assistance at night with toileting, wandering, or confusion. The caregiver must be able to sleep, take breaks, and rest.

​

What is Hourly Care? 

Hourly Home Care services provide an important option for seniors who need help throughout the night. It’s a great way to ensure that seniors receive the care they need without having to commit to a live-in arrangement. Hourly home care services provide an alternative option for those seeking after-hours support. Caregivers come in for several hours during the night or early morning to assist with tasks such as medication reminders, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and other activities as needed. This type of service provides greater flexibility since caregivers can be hired on an as-needed basis.

So when it comes to nighttime assistance for seniors, hourly home care can be an excellent choice depending on the individual’s needs.
