What is a Live-In Home Care?

care services throughout the day

A live-in home care is a senior helper that provides or is available to provide caregiving services throughout the day, stay overnight and sleep in the client’s home and available for hands-on assistance as needed at nighttime. We offer live-in care in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.

A live-in home health care giver is usually what is meant when a Physician, Case Manager or Social Worker recommends a 24-hour care.

Live In Home Care is strongly considered for people who live alone while experiencing cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia and memory failures, and/or physical disabilities.

Live-in care is ideal for people with difficulty moving around the home who may be deprived of proper nutrition or hydration without round the clock care, caregivers provide meal preparation, toileting, self-administration of medications, and provide continuous supervision and companionship.

SOME FACTS:

  • The vast majority of seniors over age 65 (90%) want to remain at home or “age in place” grow older without having to move from their homes.
  • More than half (53%) is concerned about their ability to do so.
  • More than two out of three baby boomers provide care and assistance to their aging parents.
  • Live-In Home Care is a cost-effective alternative to long-term care facilities

When is Live-In Home Care Recommended?

If you or a loved one has any of the following conditions and lives alone, Live- in home care should be a top priority.

  • Cognitive impairment, such as people with Alzheimer’s disease or other related dementias with mild to severe memory-impairment. Have they gotten lost? Would they know what to do in an emergency? Have they left the stove on?
