What is Live-in care?

A 24-hour at home care service, live-in care involves a companion/caregiver living in the care recipient’s home 24 hours a day to provide company, assistance with personal care and help with all activities of daily living. Unlike visiting services which operate on an hourly basis, live-in care provides constant support for needs such as mobility assistance, medication prompting, meal preparation and overnight care, the perfect solution for seniors with intricate needs or families in need of coverage.

Live-in caregivers at Visiting Angels aim to provide non-medical services that will help maintain your ability to remain independent and safe, such as:

• Personal care: Bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting
• Social activities: Conversation and other interpersonal activities
• Meal Preparation: Healthy eating, reminders for fluid intake and medication taking in reference to food

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. So, what does live in care entail? Is it medical or non-medical?

A. Visiting Angels is a non-medical live-in care provider (assistance with daily living, social interaction and safety) rather than offering any skilled nursing or medical procedures.

Q. Can you have live-in care with dementia or Alzheimer’s?

A. Yes. Caregivers receive memory-care training, structured routines and calm redirection in order to minimize agitation and confusion.

Q. So what is different about live-in care compared with 24-hour hourly care?

A. Live-in caregivers live in the home and have set times for rest. 24-hour hourly care involves shifting caregivers out every few hours. Live-in arrangements tend to provide more consistency and a better price for families that require round-the-clock care.

A. Yes. Our Jenkintown office has a network with Visiting Angels in Horsham, Chadds Ford, Havertown, Philadelphia and King of Prussia so that families are serviced in the Greater Philadelphia region.
