Live-In Care
Live-In Care is an arrangement that provides continuous, supervised home health care services in a manner that maintains the client’s independence, security, health and safety…all at a reasonable cost.
A Live-In arrangement is one in which the client’s needs are attended to on a continuous basis. The primary caregiver in this arrangement is the live-in employee of 5 Star Home Care who moves into the client’s home and is provided with room and board. The Live-In works as needed with the client throughout the week on a 24-hour basis. However, the Live-In must have at least 12 hours of personal time off per 24 hours for such things as sleeping, eating, and bathing. The live-in caregiver will stay on premises during these periods of personal time off.
Live-In employees require 35 additional hours off per week during which they can leave the premises when they are completely relieved of care giving responsibilities. This relief time promotes caregiver well being and avoids “burnout.” 5 Star Home Care offers two options for scheduling relief. In the “Scheduled Relief” option, 5 Star Home Care takes responsibility for scheduling respite caregivers for the Live-In. All such respite caregivers are employees of 5 Star Home Care, and they are responsible for attending to the client’s needs while the Live-In is off-duty. A second option is called “Client/Family Relief.” Here the client or the family arranges for relief of the Live-In. Selecting this option results in lower weekly costs of services for Live-In coverage.
