Compassionate 24-hour Home Care in Portland, Westbrook, and Scarborough, ME

As we age, there may come a day when in-home caregivers are needed. We all want to be at home as long as possible, so understanding your options ahead of time is highly beneficial. For seniors who need skilled and compassionate caregivers, 24-hour home care or Live-In care are often excellent alternatives to nursing homes or assisted living facilities. But what is the difference between these two options?

• HOME HELPERS 24-HOUR HOME CARE OPTIONS:
• Shift Services: This option provides the compassionate and skilled care your loved one may need around the clock. It’s easy to find caregivers who come in during the daytime hours, but your loved one may need help during the night, too. Our caregivers can work in shifts, tailoring a care plan that works best for you. You would not need to provide sleeping or living quarters for this type of care since the caregivers would rotate in shifts. It is a great way of knowing your elderly loved one is never alone. Our caregivers are not only highly skilled but genuinely compassionate.
• Live-In Services: This option is just how it sounds. One or more 24-hour caretakers would tend to your loved one during the day and sleep in the home at night, making them more accessible when needed. These caregivers will sleep in the home and awaken at night to assist your loved one. You would provide the caregiver with sleeping quarters. For the client who cannot be alone due to conditions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s but may not need constant medical care, live-in services may be the best option.
