There is a growing trend of people in the U.S. who receive some sort of home care service. This guarantees that those who need such care are in an environment that is familiar and comfortable to them. But there are some instances where more care and supervision than usual are needed.
Seniors who have chronic conditions or serious illnesses may need someone present 24 hours a day in case there is a problem or emergency. Assisting Hands Home Care in Norridge, IL, can help with these scenarios with the live-in care and 24-hour care services that we offer to Norridge, IL, and the surrounding areas. With these services, your loved ones and your family can rest assure knowing that someone is always there to help.
Live-In Caregiver Norridge, IL
The main difference between live-in care services and 24-hour home care services in Norridge, IL is the amount of attention our caregivers provide.
With live-in care services, a caregiver lives at the client’s home and switches shifts with another caregiver every 3 to 4 days. The caregiver needs a space to sleep uninterrupted for 5 to 6 hours every night. They will provide help to clients when they’re awake and they are right in the home if an emergency should occur at night.
24-Hour Home Care
With 24-hour care services, a caregiver works a 12-hour shift and switches with another caregiver who also works a 12-hour shift. With this model, an attentive caregiver is available to help clients at all hours of the day. The caregiver won’t need a place to sleep because they will be awake their entire shift. 24-hour home care services are especially beneficial for individuals whose medical condition necessitates constant supervision. Our caregivers are unable to provide any medical care but can get emergency personnel to the home right away if there is an emergency.
