24-Hour Home Care
We provide 24-Hour Home Care services in Virginia, with offices in Chesapeake and Richmond.
As people age or face health challenges, staying at home can provide comfort and familiarity. For those who need constant support, 24-hour home care with Life’s at Home Care offers a solution that ensures safety and well-being around the clock. Whether assistance is needed for daily activities, mobility, or medical conditions, having a trained caregiver available at all hours makes a significant difference.
Hourly Home Care vs. Live-In Home Care
Hourly home care provides assistance as needed, allowing families to schedule caregivers for specific times of the day or night. This type of care is ideal for those who only require help during certain hours, such as mornings and evenings, or for family caregivers who need respite. It offers flexibility, as clients only pay for the hours they use rather than full-time coverage.
Live-in home care, on the other hand, involves a caregiver staying in the home for extended shifts, typically 24 hours at a time, with designated breaks and rest periods. This option is beneficial for individuals who need continuous supervision but may not require active assistance throughout the night. While it provides consistent companionship, it does require accommodations for the caregiver, such as a private sleeping area.
