When a senior can no longer safely be left alone, the question families ask us most is simple: is it time for 24 hour care, or is something less intensive enough? ComForCare provides 24-hour home care services across North Austin, giving families a way to keep a loved one safe at home without sacrificing the independence they value.
Our 24-hour in-home care may be a good option if your family member has difficulty sleeping or wakes and walks around at night, has Alzheimer’s or dementia, or is cared for by a family member who is overwhelmed and needs a break. If any of that sounds familiar, it’s usually a sign the current arrangement has reached its limit.
These two options get confused often among North Austin families. Live-in caregiver services place one caregiver in the home who sleeps for part of the night, which works well for seniors who are generally settled overnight. An overnight senior caregiver arrangement rotates in staff who stay fully awake through the night, real around-the-clock senior home care rather than a sleeping presence. For a parent who wanders, falls, or needs attention after dark, that awake coverage is usually the safer route.
24-hour in-home memory care is one of the more common reasons families reach out to us. A senior living with Alzheimer’s or dementia often becomes more confused as evening turns to night. Our caregivers train through the DementiaWise® Certified Care Program, built around calm, predictable routines rather than correction, and we also offer Alzheimer’s care and broader dementia care.
Choosing a private 24-hour home care agency means trusting a stranger to be alone with someone you love, often overnight. Every ComForCare caregiver is background-checked, extensively trained, and fully insured before ever being placed with a family. Our senior 24-hour caregivers serve families throughout North Austin and Travis County, with continuous in-home senior supervision through personal care and fall prevention. If you’re not ready for full-time coverage yet, our respite care offers a lower-commitment starting point.

What is 24-hour elderly home care?
Continuous coverage for a senior at home, delivered through a live-in caregiver who sleeps part of the night, or through rotating shifts of fully awake caregivers, depending on your loved one’s needs.
What’s the difference between a live-in caregiver and 24-hour care?
A live-in caregiver sleeps in the home for part of the night. True 24-hour care uses caregivers working in shifts who stay awake the entire time, the safer option for seniors with real overnight risk.
How much does 24-hour home care cost?
Cost depends on the level of care needed. We recommend a free consultation so we can give you an accurate quote based on your family’s actual situation.
Can we start with less than 24-hour care and increase later?
Yes. Many families start with personal care or respite care and move to full coverage once nighttime needs become clear.

Do you find yourself worrying about the safety and well-being of your ageing family member or friend? At ComForCare, we provide 24-hour in-home care. Our highly-trained and trustworthy professionals serve as caring companions every hour of the day, 365 days a year, even on holidays! Each caregiver is thoroughly screened, receives extensive training, and is always completely insured. We are dedicated to providing a companion you can trust.
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!
Yes, you can get round-the-clock home care for older adults from ComForCare. We match you up with the best at-home care professionals, who are trained to deliver the high-quality standard of care that we are known for.
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.
Each office is independently owned and operated and is an equal opportunity employer.
