  • Live-in care: one caregiver resides in the home with an eight-hour sleep period at night and brief breaks during the day

  • Services include assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming; medication and hydration reminders; mobility support and transfers; meal planning and preparation; light housekeeping and laundry; transportation to appointments; shopping and errands; companionship; and help with paperwork
  • Care Partners are trained to notice subtle changes in behavior or health for early intervention
  • Families may combine both models—for example, live-in care on weekdays and hourly coverage on weekends or overnights

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between live-in care and hourly 24-hour care?

Live-in caregivers sleep at night and take breaks during the day; hourly caregivers rotate shifts and remain awake the entire time. Live-in care is typically more affordable, while hourly care provides fully awake overnight supervision for clients with higher needs.

Is 24-hour home care covered by Medicare?

No. Medicare does not cover 24-hour or live-in home care because it is considered non-medical assistance. However, many families supplement private funds with long-term care insurance, veterans benefits (Aid and Attendance), or state-based home care programs.

Is 24-hour home care more affordable than a facility?

Yes. While pricing depends on needs, live-in care is typically less expensive than assisted living or nursing home alternatives.
