two_elderly_ladiesOur Staffing specialist are always available to talk with you about your caregiving needs and to answer any questions you may have.  For Live-In caregiver rates, click on "Rates" or scroll to the bottom of this page.

What is a live-in caregiver?  A live-in caregiver stays in your home for a full 24-hours and sleeps there at night.  Caregivers usually work approximately 8-10 hours intermittently throughout the day and are available to assist you during the night if needed.

What is the difference between live-in and 24 hours of hourly service?  Live-in caregivers stay in the clients home the entire 24-hour day, but they are not expected to work the entire day and sleep at night.  If around-the-clock service is needed and a caregiver is required to be awake at all times, it would be considered hourly service and you should expect to need 2-3 caregivers per day.  See our "Hourly Service" page for  more information on this level of service.

Do live-in caregivers have special requirements?  The following are considered standard requirements for most live-in situations, however you and your caregiver can ultimately determine their exact role and responsibilities.

        *  Private Room with bed for caregiver
        *  Food for meals provided by client
        *  Caregiver should be able to get at least 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night
        *  Caregiver should not be woken up more than 1-2 times at night
        *  Occasional time off to handle personal matters

What if you need a live-in caregiver for 7-days a week?  If service is required 7-days a week for an extended period, it is common to have more than one caregiver.  If your caregiver does agree to work 7 days a week, we can provide a substitute caregiver as needed when your caregiver takes time off.

What type of services can live-in caregivers provide?  Professional live-in caregivers have a wide range of skills, talents and comprehensive caregiving experience, which we will match to your unique needs.  They are not nurses and do not perform medical services however, the majority of our clients are receiving medical care and use our agency to provide caregivers for non-medical needs, saving them substantial amounts of money.
