24-Hour Home Care in Pinecrest: How It Works

When a parent in Pinecrest needs someone with them around the clock, families usually choose between 24-hour care and live-in care. This guide explains how each works and how to decide.

24-hour care

Caregivers work in shifts, often two 12-hour shifts a day, so someone is always awake, including overnight. It's the right choice when your parent needs help at night, is at risk of falling or is living with dementia and restless in the evenings.

Live-in care

One caregiver stays in the home and sleeps at night. It suits a parent who needs steady help during the day and generally sleeps through the night. The caregiver needs a private place to rest.

What caregivers do

• Bathing, dressing, grooming and help moving around safely.

• Meals, medication reminders and light housekeeping.

• Errands, appointments and outings.

• Companionship and a calm, predictable routine.

Matching the right caregivers

We match caregivers to your parent's needs and personality and aim for consistency. Spanish-speaking caregivers are available.

Long-term care insurance

If your parent has long-term care insurance, it may help pay for care at home. We provide the invoicing and timesheets insurers require, and care can begin during your policy's elimination period.
