Live-in care is a good solution when assistance and companionship are needed around the clock. Live in care can be an alternative to nursing home care in some instances, and allows people to age in place.

How does it work?

Our aide stays in the client’s home for continuous 24-hour shifts . We monitor our live-in caregivers with spot checks, reviews, and regular meetings. Typically, to avoid caregiver burnout, we have a team of two caregivers working either three days or four days of back-to-back per diem shifts.

Live-in care is appropriate when:

• There is a separate bedroom for the caregivers’ use
• The client generally sleeps through the night
• The caregiver can be in another room doing household chores part of the day, and the client can be left unattended(with the caregiver in the home).

Live-in Services Include:

• Companionship, emotional support and recreational activities Light housekeeping and laundry
• Bathing and showering
• Dressing and Grooming
• Toileting and incontinence care
•  Feeding
• Mobility – Ambulating, transfers and exercises
• Transportation to medical appointments, social or religious activities
