Hourly Home Care

From 4 hours to 24 hours, we can meet your every non-medical home care need. While some Clients need in-home help 24 hours, around-the-clock, others need light assistance once or twice each week. The choice is yours. We will find a Caregiver to match your requirements.

Live-in Home Care

Live-in home care is a very popular, cost-effective home care program.  It is designed for those individuals who need more than eight hours of care daily, but where three 8-hour shifts are not needed. Clients use live-in Caregivers on an ongoing basis when living with family is not an option, to one-week respite care visits. Caregivers for live-in home care are a great alternative for senior care when a nursing home is not desired. The live-in Caregiver is on-call 24 hours per day and provides the Client and family members valuable peace of mind, knowing that someone is present if assistance is needed.

Overnight with Sleep Home Care

A wonderful alternative to separate wake-up and tuck-in visits, this twelve-hour shift is for those who need assistance going to bed and getting up in the morning. The Caregiver is also available to get up with the Client if he or she needs assistance once or twice throughout the night. Overnight with Sleep home care has been a boon to those individuals who are lonely or afraid at night or who simply need the reassurance of having someone available, if help is needed.

Customized Home Care Services

Upon request, many offices will offer shorter hours of service or combinations of different non-medical home care services to suit your unique preferences.
