Live in Senior Care

Many people make the assumption that 24 hour care is the same as live in care. Live in senior care is when a provider or agency assigns a caregiver to your loved one for daily support. This dedicated caregiver will literally “live in” the patient’s home providing close, one-on-one care. 

A primary difference between live in and 24 hour elderly care is the consecutive number of hours caregivers are actively caring. Live in caregivers receive a mandatory 8 hours of sleep per night while 24 hour care provides a new caregiver during the evening.
