This kind of care involves continuous coverage for a person at home. No matter the time of day, there will be a care professional present. This can be provided through a live-in caregiver, or through shifts. This depends on who is available and/or what you or your loved one’s preferences are.

This kind of home care provides a significant sense of safety for older adults. It can also mean that they have immediate attention should an emergency—medical or otherwise—arise. This kind of care can help an older adult feel more independent, thanks to the safety provided, as well as the services available to them.

Yes, absolutely. 24-hour home care for dementia patients is one of the more common contexts in which a live-in caregiver is chosen. We can’t guarantee immediate availability, however, because this situation often requires live-in care, which is a harder position to fill.

If you want home care near you, we recommend speaking with your family doctor about what they think your best options are. After receiving a professional opinion, use their recommendation to help you look for local options online. We always encourage individuals to speak with service providers on the phone and meet in person.

We also invite you to contact us, since you’ve already found us!

1. If you’re arranging 24-hour care for yourself, speak with family members about what services should be sought after. 
2. If you’re arranging 24-hour care for another individual, speak with them to understand their needs and preferences, as well as identify the services that you both think would be beneficial.
3. Research providers in your area and narrow down your list to preferred providers.
4. Schedule phone interviews with providers you like to learn more about what they offer and their approach to care.
5. Follow up with your top contenders with an in-person, if possible.
6. Once you’ve found your preferred provider, outline the services required to generate a care plan and identify clear expectations for when the care plan will begin.

Yes, it’s very possible to have in-home care 24/7. This is one of the areas that ComForCare specializes in, as we take pride in ensuring our clients are supported whenever needed. Whether you choose to have a live-in caregiver or multiple caregivers who work in shifts, 24-hour care is a very realistic option. 

Often, the number of services included in 24-hour home care are more extensive as this type of care stipulates that a professional caregiver is always provided. This allows more time and effort to be dedicated to services than with short-term care options. However, the exact type of services included depends on the individual care needs of you or your loved one. Take a look at the services we offer here!

As with all care jobs, we ask for a recent police background check and conduct a thorough interview. We then have candidates complete rigorous training to ensure that every ComForCare employee delivers the standard of care that’s expected.

The cost of 24-hour care depends on the kinds of services needed. 24-hour companion care will cost less than 24-hour care from a Registered Nurse (RN), for instance. We understand your need to estimate the cost to expect, so we recommend contacting us to discuss your needs in more detail, so we can provide a more accurate quote.
