More seniors are deciding to stay at home to receive care instead of leaving to live at an assisted living facility or nursing home. There is a sense of comfort seniors have at home, and remaining at home also lets them maintain some level of independence.
Elderly individuals all have different care needs. Some seniors may only need part-time care, getting help with household chores and some personal care tasks. Meanwhile, other seniors may need full-time care, getting help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and personal care. In some cases, elderly individuals have a chronic condition or illness that necessitates around-the-clock care.
If seniors need 24/7 home care in Oak Brook, IL, and the neighboring areas, Assisting Hands Home Care provides live-in and 24-hour home care services that can help. Within our services, one of our licensed caregivers will always be at home with your loved one, ready to provide care and assistance.

Live-In Caregivers in Oak Brook
With our live-in care services, a caregiver will live at home with your loved one. Two caregivers will alternate with each other, working 3-4 days at a time before switching shifts.
Generally, the live-in caregiver will do the following each day:
- Mornings: The caregiver wakes up and helps the client get up and ready for the day. We help them bathe and get dressed in addition to preparing them breakfast.
- Daytime: During the day, the caregiver does light housekeeping, helps with ADLs, conducts meal preparation, provides transportation for appointments and errands, and more.
- Night: The caregiver helps with the nighttime routine including getting dressed and getting to bed safely.
Preparing for a Live-In Caregiver
Live-in caregivers need a private space to sleep at night and keep their belongings. At night, they need at least five uninterrupted hours of sleep to ensure they are energized enough to provide effective care the next day. When it is time for the next caregiver to come in, the current one will prepare the room for them.
24-Hour Home Care
The primary difference between our 24-hour home care and live-in care services is the amount of care provided. With our 24-hour home care services, there will always be a caregiver awake and available to assist your loved one no matter the time of day. This is possible, because each caregiver works an 8 to 12-shift, remaining awake the entire time. While your loved one is sleeping, a caregiver will be prepared to help if necessary.
Furthermore, you do not need to provide a private space for 24-hour caregivers. These services are ideal for seniors whose chronic conditions necessitate constant supervision.
Trusted Home Caregivers
It can be stressful trying to make sure your loved ones have effective care at all times of the day, but our caregivers can bring ease by providing quality care. All of our caregivers are insured, bonded, licensed and have passed a background check. We will provide care in a compassionate and respectful manner.
