24-Hour Home Care
24-hour shift care from Visiting Angels Toms River is available to care for and supervise someone in their own home at all times, or 24 hours. The same comprehensive services we offer are used to create a custom care plan, but in this situation, care is provided by a team of caregivers, rather than just one.
Angel caregivers from our agency will be assigned to work in shifts, typically 8 hours each, completely covering a 24-hour period, for the long or short term. During their shifts, each assigned caregiver will remain awake, alert, and fully capable of supporting your loved one during their time together. There is no sleeping or break time during these shifts, as the sole purpose of 24-hour care is to provide continuous monitoring and assistance whenever it’s needed.
Who Can Benefit from 24-Hour Shift Care?
Determining whether or not your loved one can benefit from 24-hour shift care can be a bit confusing, but there are some clear scenarios you should look for to indicate it could be of help:
- Seniors who can put themselves at risk during the day or night because of physical or cognitive limitations require constant supervision to avoid dangerous situations or accidents.
- People living with cognitive decline can often wander, especially at night, and need a reliable and vigilant caregiver to redirect them.
- Some elderly or disabled folks wake often and need intervention from a caregiver to get back to sleep or tend to personal care like toileting throughout the night.
- Seniors who experience agitation and confusion in the evening from sundown syndrome benefit from a trained professional to guide them through the experience.
- Family caregivers can easily become overwhelmed by the draining responsibility of providing non-stop assistance to loved ones and should lean on outside support systems.

Questions About 24-Hour Shift Care
Q: Is 24-hour care the same as live-in care?
A: No, 24-hour shift care is different from live-in care. While they do seem similar in theory, the biggest difference is that 24-hour shift care does not require a caregiver to move into their client’s home, while live-in care does.
Another big difference is that 24-hour shift care is provided by multiple caregivers, rotating on roughly 8-hour shifts. Shift caregivers are always awake during their client interactions to provide continuous monitoring and assistance. Live-in caregivers are allowed an agreed-upon set of hours to get some rest, personal time, and to eat.
Q: Do caregivers sleep during their shift?
A: No, Visiting Angels caregivers on 24-hour shift care remain awake and alert during their shifts to keep a watchful eye over their clients at all times. Because they are working on shifts with limited hours, they do not need to allot time for resting or sleep.
Begin Award-Winning 24-Hour Care for Your Loved One
24-hour care is a huge commitment, but some seniors who are remaining at home to age in place will need it to remain safe. Families who try to manage this care themselves quickly find it to be too exhaustive to handle on their own. Our certified home health aides at Visiting Angels Toms River are available to take your place with just as much compassion for your loved one! With regular rotations, caregivers are always refreshed and ready to tackle their next shift with energy and attention.
To make sure your elderly loved one has access to high-quality care from an experienced agency, contact us today at 732-240-1050 or reach out to us online, if you prefer, and we’ll get in touch shortly thereafter.
