Live-In Care

There are many different options that exist when it comes to addressing the care needs of older adults. From assisted living communities, to nursing homes, to home-based care offered by family or a Senior Helpers caregiver in Baltimore, Maryland, there are options that work for almost all seniors and families.  

It can be difficult to care for a loved one, especially when you work, live far away, and/or have children that require care and attention. And as your loved one’s needs and demands increase as they grow older, you can’t always be available or on call 24/7 to help them. Scheduling regular visits from caregivers and family members to attend to their needs can help, however, life can change in an instant. A decline in physical or cognitive functions or a change in a living situation may prompt you to consider round-the-clock care.

If this is a situation you are faced with for yourself or a loved one, and around-the-clock care is needed, you do not need to feel limited to a facility as your only option. A great alternative, at a comparable cost to a facility, is a Senior Helpers live-in caregiver in the home, which ensures that a caregiver will be there throughout the day and night, allowing your loved one to receive the daily care and attention they need (and deserve!), while in the comfort of their home.

Live-in care is comparable to a live-in nanny some families hire to help care for children and infants. This type of care is best suited for seniors needing assistance day and night, those who could benefit from the companionship of a caregiver, or could use help with tasks like remembering to take their medication or getting up on occasion throughout the night.
