Live-In Care for Consistent Support at Home
Live-in care can provide continuity, familiarity and companionship for someone who needs substantial support but does not require an awake caregiver every hour of the night.
A caregiver lives in the home and provides assistance throughout the day while receiving designated rest and sleep periods.
Who Live-In Care Is For
Live-in care can work well for someone who:
- Needs help throughout much of the day
- Benefits from having a consistent caregiver nearby
- Needs personal care and household support
- Has limited mobility
- Needs companionship and supervision
- Prefers to remain at home rather than move to a facility
What Live-In Care Can Include
- Personal care
- Dressing and grooming
- Meal preparation
- Mobility support
- Medication reminders
- Companionship
- Light housekeeping
- Transportation
- Daily routines
- Family communication
Live-In Care Is Not 24/7 Awake Care
A live-in caregiver must have appropriate rest and sleep time.
If someone requires frequent overnight assistance or continuous awake supervision, 24/7 care may be more appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is live-in care the same as 24/7 care?
- No. Live-in care includes designated rest and sleep periods for the caregiver. If someone requires an awake caregiver at all times, 24/7 care is usually the more appropriate option.
- Can live-in care be temporary?
- Yes. Live-in care can be used temporarily during recovery, during a family caregiver’s absence, or while longer-term care needs are being evaluated.
- Can the live-in caregiver help overnight?
- A live-in caregiver can provide reasonable overnight assistance, but the service is not designed for continuous awake overnight supervision. If frequent nighttime help is needed, our team can help determine whether 24/7 care would be safer.
- Do live-in caregivers help with meals and household routines?
- Yes. Depending on the care plan, live-in caregivers can assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, personal care, mobility, medication reminders, companionship and other daily routines.
