What 24-Hour Care Includes
24-hour home care provides continuous supervision and assistance for seniors who cannot safely be left alone. This may involve live-in caregivers (who sleep at the home) or rotating shifts of caregivers providing coverage throughout the day and night.
Who Needs 24-Hour Care?
24-hour care is appropriate for seniors with advanced dementia, significant fall risk, recent hospitalization, or any condition that makes unsupervised time unsafe. It is also the right choice for families who live far away and need peace of mind that their parent is never alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between live-in care and 24-hour care?
Live-in care involves one caregiver who sleeps at the home and is available during the day (with required sleep breaks). True 24-hour care uses rotating shifts to ensure someone is awake and attentive at all times.
How much does 24-hour home care cost?
Live-in care typically costs $250–$350/day. Rotating shift care (two or three caregivers) costs more but provides continuous wakefulness. CareMatch at Home will match you with options in both models.
Is 24-hour home care less expensive than assisted living?
In many markets, yes — especially for a single person. Assisted living averages $4,500–$6,000/month nationally, while live-in home care can be comparable or less expensive.
