To ensure that the client is always taken care of, two or more caregivers take turns on shifts to be awake and available day and night. With “24-hour” caregiving, there will be 2-3 caregivers who work 8-12 hour shifts in the care recipient’s home, providing around-the-clock care. This type of live-in care is more appropriate for individuals who have higher care needs.
This is very different from live-in care, where caregivers require a space of their own and truly “live” in the home, sleeping at night (but willing to be awakened, and alerted when the client needs help).
