Often our clients need caregiver services around the clock. Sometimes they need assistance at night or just feel safer knowing someone is there ready to help in an emergency. Live In care is just like it sounds. A caregiver is provided a private room and board by the client, and lives in the home with the client on the days they work. They sleep at night, and are available to help as needed. Generally, a Live-In caregiver should be able to get at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and works 8 hours intermittently throughout the day, taking breaks as they require. Fees for Live Ins are usually a flat fee per day (per diem), rather than by the hour. Ultimately, you and the caregiver determine the exact role and responsibilities.

Our goal is to establish long term, highly compatible care relationships between clients, their families and their caregivers. Consistency is key.
