24-Hour Care vs. Live-In Care: What’s Right for Your Family
Both models keep the home at the center, but they serve different needs.
- 24-Hour Care: Two or three caregivers rotate through the day and night, staying awake the entire shift. This is ideal when assistance is frequent—repositioning, toileting, mobility support, hydration, and regular overnight checks.
- Live-In Care: One primary caregiver (plus relief) resides in the home with scheduled breaks and a private place to sleep. It works well when nighttime needs are lighter and predictable.
If you’re torn between the two, we’ll assess routines, risks, and budget and recommend a plan that fits without overbuilding care.

What’s Included in 24-Hour Care
Our care wraps around your loved one’s life with warmth, reliability, and a steady rhythm—day and night.
How: Bathing (full/partial/sponge), dressing, grooming, oral care, toileting, and incontinence support, with privacy and pacing that match energy and mood. We perform skin-integrity checks during hygiene.
Why it helps: Protects comfort and dignity, prevents skin issues, and reduces stress during intimate tasks.
- Mobility & Fall Prevention
How: Safe bed/chair transfers (proper techniques, gait belt as needed), standby or hands-on walking assist, pathway declutter (cords/rugs/lighting), footwear reminders, and nighttime routines (lights on, clear routes, timely cueing).
Why it helps: Lowers fall risk, supports confidence, and makes bathroom trips steady and safe.
How: Calming, repeatable routines; gentle redirection and validation; familiar music/photos; structured choices; reduced overstimulation; low-stim evening lighting; consistent check-ins for wandering risk.
Why it helps: Eases anxiety and sundowning, promotes orientation and comfort, and reduces escalations.
- Overnight Monitoring & Reassurance
How: Caregivers provide scheduled comfort checks (custom cadence), bathroom assistance, repositioning to relieve pressure, rapid response to call devices, and quiet reassurance to settle restlessness. We log sleep/wake patterns.
Why it helps: Prevents nighttime falls and pressure injuries, improves sleep quality, and informs daytime care.
- Meals, Hydration & Medication Reminders
How: Simple, nutritious meal prep to preferences and provider guidance; hydration cues at smart intervals; on-time medication reminders for bedtime and early mornings; tracking of appetite, fluids, and misses.
Why it helps: Stabilizes energy and mood, supports clinical plans, and reduces avoidable health dips.
- Household Support & Infection-Control Basics
How: Light tidying in high-traffic areas, dishes used during care, laundry/linens, trash removal, quick wipe-downs of high-touch surfaces, hand hygiene, and cleaning of equipment touchpoints (walker handles, bedside rails).
Why it helps: Keeps the environment safer and more comfortable, lowering infection risk and day-to-day clutter.
- Transportation & Errands (As Needed)
How: Door-through-door assistance to Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center, RWJUH Hamilton, clinics, therapy, pharmacy, and Route 1 errands; gather paperwork, prep questions, take simple visit notes, pick up prescriptions.
Why it helps: Reduces scheduling headaches, ensures follow-through on care plans, and keeps momentum after visits.
- Shift Handoffs & Family Updates
How: Each rotation includes concise handoff notes (what worked, changes, watch-outs) logged in Homewatch Connect™ for real-time family visibility and seamless continuity across day/night teams.
Why it helps: Prevents gaps and repetition, keeps everyone aligned, and saves families from chasing updates.
- Hospital-to-Home Coordination (Discharge to First-Week Stability)
How: Coordinate with Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center and nearby rehabs; set up med reminders and skin checks; stabilize nighttime routines; align equipment (grab bars, bedside commode, wheelchair, Hoyer lift) with therapists.
Why it helps: Fewer gaps and readmissions, a safer first week, and a calmer, more organized transition home.
