Maintaining independence despite old age, a major surgery, or another complication can be difficult. At Assisting Hands Home Care, we offer live-in and 24-hour care services to help make life easier for those who need constant assistance in Harwood Heights, IL.
Essentially, our caregivers can remain on-site to provide the kind of care that your loved one needs to get through their day. These home care services allow the one receiving the care to remain in a comfortable and familiar environment.
24-Hour Home Care Harwood Heights, IL
The primary difference between our live-in care services and 24-hour home care services is the level of attentiveness provided. We offer the same sort of assistance and expertise with both, but the schedules of our caregivers change. See below to learn more:
- Live-In Care: Through our live-in caregiving services, a caregiver will remain in the home for 3 to 4 days at a time. They will then switch with another caregiver who will remain on-site for that period of time. The caregivers will require a place to sleep, and at least 5 to 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep each night.
- 24-Hour Care: With our 24-hour caregiving services, a caregiver will always be attentive at the home. This is ideal for individuals who need supervision throughout the night. Our caregivers will switch off every 12 hours for a new shift. This means that if an emergency occurs due to some sort of health complication, or another reason, one of our caregivers will be ready to respond on a moment’s notice. Our caregivers do not require a place to sleep through these services.
Due to the attentive nature of our live-in care and 24-hour home care services, we typically work with cancer patients, adults struggling with severe Alzheimer’s or dementia, and terminally ill individuals. However, we also have experience working with individuals who just underwent complicated surgeries, suffered from heart attacks or strokes, or went through similarly troubling events.
