Live-In Home Care
Quality Care - The Unified Pledge Way!
Seniors may reach a stage in life where live-in home care is needed due to age-related decline, chronic illness, or disease related issues. If live-in care can be provided safely, it is a much more cost effective way of providing senior care when compared to 24 hour supervision that requires around the clock caregivers working on shifts. It can also be less stressful on your loved one as they have one live-in caregiver to become familiar with, rather than a whole team.
​
One very important thing to ask is, can your loved one be left alone safely while the caregiver sleeps? If not, this may not be the best type of care for them. Either way, we highly encourage giving us a call so we can listen to your home care goals and help you determine if live-in care makes sense or if there is a better option.
