Assisting Hands offers 24/7 home care services from experienced caregivers
Of the many senior citizens who have chosen to age in place instead of leaving for a retirement home or assisted living facility, some of them require the presence of a caregiver through the night or even 24 hours a day for their safety. Those with illnesses or chronic conditions may need help throughout the day, including the middle of the night, and an emergency can occur at any time. It is always important for seniors in this position to have someone in the home to provide assistance and react if there is an emergency. Families may have a difficult time covering the care needs of their loved ones through the entire day and night.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we are proud to offer live-in care and 24-hour home care to individuals in need in Elk Grove Village, IL. Many different types of people can benefit from these services, and we encourage you to learn more about how they can help you.
Live-In Caregiver Elk Grove Village, IL
Our live-in care services are more intensive than our overnight care services as one of our caregivers will live in the home of your loved ones. For these services, two caregivers are assigned for your loved one and they will spend 3-4 days living at the home before alternating.
Our live-in caregiver will be present in the home 24 hours a day, helping out in the mornings and providing assistance throughout the day. Our caregiver will then help your loved ones get to bed at night before going to bed themselves. It is important to allow our caregiver to get at least 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
Seniors who have recently returned home from the hospital or lost their spouse can benefit greatly from these services. Their families can also rest easier knowing that our licensed caregiver is always in the home of their loved one to provide assistance.
Preparing for a Live-In Caregiver
Because our live-in caregiver will need to sleep at night, you need to provide them with a space within the home to sleep and keep their personal belongings. The caregiver will clean the space and change the bed linens when it is time to change shifts with the other caregiver.
24-Hour Care vs. Live-In Care
Many people ask us what the primary differences are between our 24-hour care and live-in care services. Both take place on a 24-hour schedule, but there are key elements of each that jump out right away:
- 24-Hour Home Care: These services are ideal for those who need more attentive care. You will benefit from a new caregiver every 12 hours. This means that somebody will always be attentive and ready to help, no matter the time of day. This is ideal for individuals who require constant supervision due to a medical condition, or who may need emergency assistance on minimal notice.
- Live-In Care: These services are ideal for those who do not require such attentive care, but still need regular help. Through these services, our caregivers rotate every 3 to 4 days, meaning they require a place to sleep on-site. We provide the same types of services as through our 24-hour care but ask that you give our caregivers 5 to 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night.
24-Hour Home Care Elk Grove Village, IL
Our 24-hour care services are the most intensive of these services as one of our caregivers will be awake and alert for the entire 24 hours. We will assign two caregivers for these services who will alternate every 12 hours and they will not need any time to sleep during their shift. With this arrangement, our caregiver will always be nearby and ready to respond to any situation at a moment’s notice any time of the day or night. These services are beneficial for those who suffer from chronic conditions or illnesses that require constant supervision.
We currently offer these services to those in need in the greater Elk Grove Village, IL, community and accept long-term care insurance. Whether you need live-in or 24-hour care services for a few days or on a long-term basis, we are more than happy to help.
