24-Hour Home Care in Greenville, SC

What Is 24-Hour Home Care?

24-hour home care is a specialized service for seniors and individuals with complex or ongoing needs — including dementia, disability, and cases other agencies find too demanding — providing continuous, day-and-night assistance. At From The Heart Home Care, it's built around one core goal: keeping your loved one safe, supported, and in the home they know best, with a caregiver who's actually the right match for their needs. Depending on your family's situation, we structure this care one of two ways:

  • Live-In Care — A single, carefully matched caregiver stays with the client throughout the day, taking scheduled breaks and resting up to eight hours overnight within the home.
  • Shift-Based Care — Two consistent caregivers rotate in 12-hour shifts, so the client always has awake, alert supervision from someone who knows their needs.

Why Choose 24-Hour Care?

Seniors and individuals managing chronic conditions often need round-the-clock support due to medical concerns, mobility limitations, or cognitive decline. 24-hour home care delivers personalized assistance while giving families genuine peace of mind, knowing their loved one is never left alone.

Key benefits include:

  • Constant Supervision — Lowers the risk of falls, wandering, and medical emergencies
  • Personalized Care — Tailored support for daily activities, mobility, and companionship
  • Familiar Environment — Lets seniors stay home instead of relocating to a facility
  • Peace of Mind — Professional caregivers watching over your loved one at all times

When Is It Time to Consider 24-Hour Care?

Recognizing the signs early helps protect your loved one's safety and well-being. Consider 24-hour care if you're noticing:

  • Frequent falls or difficulty maintaining balance
  • Increased confusion, agitation, or wandering — especially with dementia or Alzheimer's
  • Disrupted sleep patterns or nighttime disorientation
  • A recent hospitalization from a stroke, fracture, or major surgery
  • Trouble eating, drinking, or managing medications without supervision
  • Forgetting to turn off appliances like stoves or ovens
  • Heightened anxiety when left alone, even briefly
  • Frequent bathroom accidents or difficulty managing personal hygiene

Essential Questions to Ask When Arranging 24-Hour Care

Before choosing a provider, it's worth getting clear answers to a few important questions:

  • How many caregivers will be assigned per shift?
  • Can I meet and interview caregivers before they start?
  • What happens if a scheduled caregiver is unable to work their shift?
  • Can a family member share caregiving responsibilities alongside a professional?
  • Who do I contact for concerns, schedule changes, or emergencies?
  • What specific tasks will the caregiver be responsible for?

Choosing an Agency vs. Hiring a Private Caregiver

Some families consider hiring a caregiver independently, but partnering with a professional agency like From The Heart Home Care comes with real advantages.

Benefits of hiring through an agency:

  • Background-Checked Caregivers — Thorough screening for your family's safety
  • Consistent Scheduling — We manage shifts and provide replacements when needed
  • Liability Protection — We handle taxes, payroll, and workers' compensation
  • Professional Training — Caregivers trained in specialized care, including dementia support and post-surgical assistance

What hiring privately requires you to manage on your own:

  • Payroll, taxes, and insurance for the caregiver
  • Shift scheduling and finding last-minute replacements
  • Compliance with state labor laws, including overtime pay
  • Liability coverage in case of accidents or injuries in the home
