Who this may help

Is this service a good fit?

Live-in care can suit a patient who is generally able to sleep at night, benefits from regular daytime help and companionship, and has a home that can provide suitable accommodations for the caregiver.

Getting started

A simple path forward.

  1. 1

    Review the patient’s daytime and overnight needs.

  2. 2

    Confirm that live-in care is appropriate rather than awake overnight or shift care.

  3. 3

    Discuss caregiver accommodations, meals, breaks, and backup coverage.

Common questions

Helpful answers for families.

Does a live-in caregiver stay awake all night?

Generally, no. Live-in arrangements include an undisturbed sleep period. A patient who requires frequent nighttime assistance may need awake overnight or shift care instead.

What accommodations are required?

The caregiver needs an appropriate bed and private room with a door, along with meals and required breaks. Elderberry will explain the current arrangement requirements.

Is live-in care an alternative to assisted living?

For some families, it can help a patient remain at home. Suitability depends on the patient’s needs, home environment, and required level of supervision.
