What Is 24-Hour Home Care?
How Does 24-Hour Home Care Work?
24-hour home care ensures constant support for seniors who need help with daily activities, mobility, or medical supervision.
There are two main options:
- Live-In Caregivers โ A single caregiver stays in the home day and night, with an 8-hour break for sleep.
- Shift-Based Hourly Care โ Multiple caregivers rotate in 8-12-hour shifts, ensuring someone is always awake and alert.
Why Choose 24-Hour Care?
- Prevents falls, accidents, and emergencies at night.
- Helps with dementia, Alzheimerโs, or mobility challenges.
- Provides peace of mind for families.
What Does 24-Hour Home Care Include?
How Can a Caregiver Help My Loved One?
Our licensed caregivers assist with:
โ Personal Care โ Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting.
โ Mobility & Safety โ Fall prevention, transfers, walking assistance.
โ Household Support โ Meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry.
โ Companionship โ Reducing loneliness, engaging in hobbies.
โ Medical Support โ Medication reminders, appointment transportation.
We customize every care plan to fit your loved oneโs needsโno request is too small.
Donโt underestimate the importance of companionship. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
โLoneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions.โ
In fact, studies have shown that loneliness and social isolation significantly increase rates of dementia, depression, and death.
Live-In vs. Hourly Home Care: Which Is Best?
Whatโs the Difference Between Live-In and Shift-Based Care?
Live-In Home Care
| 1-2 caregivers stay full-time |
| More affordable than hourly care |
| Familiar faces (better for dementia patients) |
When you think about 24-hour home care, you may think that involves having somebody live with your loved one, and that can be the case. With live-in home care NJ, you have one caregiver in the home all day and night for 4 or 5 days a week, and a second caregiver in the home the other 2 to 3 days a week.
The benefits of live-in home care NJ are that it is cheaper than hourly home care and your loved one gets to know two caretakers extremely well. For some elderly people, especially those with Alzheimerโs or dementia, having familiar faces can help them feel more comfortable.
One potential downside is that live-in caregivers must receive 8 hours off every night to sleep and may have several hours of time off during the day.
24-Hour Shift Care
(Hourly Home Care)
| Multiple caregivers rotate shifts |
| Higher cost, but constant awake supervision |
| Always alert care (ideal for high-need seniors) |
If your loved one requires a caretaker who is always awake any time of day, hourly home care may be a better option. With hourly home care, your loved one will have multiple caregivers rotating in and out of the house every 8 to 12 hours. Potential downsides include the higher cost and the fact that your loved one will see more faces and need to get to know more caregivers.
Which One Is Right for You?
- Live-in care works well for seniors who prefer consistency and donโt need overnight monitoring.
- 24-Hour / Hourly shift care is best if your loved one wanders at night or needs medical attention.
