Just because you or your loved one need around-the-clock care, that doesn’t mean residential care is the only choice. 24-hour home care can help people age in place regardless of how much assistance they need with toileting, bathing, feeding, and other activities of daily living.
What is 24-hour home care? Do overnight caregivers sleep? What’s the difference between live-in and hourly home care? How much does 24-hour home care cost? Does Medicare cover 24/7 at-home care? How do you find the best 24-hour caregiver agency?
We want you to be informed, so here’s what you need to know about 24-hour in-home care.
24-hour home care is around-the-clock assistance in one’s own home (or that of a loved one who is their primary caregiver) with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, toileting, eating, and more.
It’s arguably better to start 24-hour at-home care too soon than too late – after your loved one has had a major fall, wandered away from home, or lost a dangerous amount of weight.
24-hour caregivers assist with activities of daily living, perform light housekeeping, handle meal planning and preparation, and perform other nonmedical tasks to help people age in their own homes rather than going to an assisted living facility or nursing home. More specific examples of things 24-hour caregivers do include:
Companionship may seem like something minor compared to assistance with bathing and using the toilet, but companionship is critically important for your loved one’s overall wellbeing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refers to loneliness and social isolation as “serious public health risks” and goes on to say [1]:
“Social isolation significantly increased a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity…Loneliness was associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide.”
