Live In or 24 Hour Senior Care

Family Trusted, 24-Hour In-Home Senior Care

There may be times when a senior family member requires continuous in-home care due to a prolonged illness, stroke, or other medical condition like advanced-stage dementia. To ensure their comfort and safety, those situations call for a reliable in-home caregiver to be at their side 24 hours a day. If you have a senior who needs some around-the-clock care, the experienced professionals at Caring At Home stand ready to answer your call. We provide family-trusted, live-in, or 24-hour in-home support for clients throughout the greater Scranton and Carbondale, PA areas. To ensure that your loved one receives the best care possible, we also have a full-time social worker on staff. The two types of 24-hour care we specialize in are:

Alternating Shift Services– Shifted caregiving is perfect for a bed-bound senior, or for a loved one who needs more intensive around-the-clock monitoring. Shifted services involve several trained caregivers in the home during 8-hour shifts all day and at night. They do not require private sleeping arrangements or meals provided for them.
Live-in Services– This team approach works best when a senior needs a high level of careful monitoring. Three experienced caregivers each take a 24-hour shift every three days. They are at the ready all hours of the day and night if your loved one requires assistance. We do ask that you provide them with a place to sleep and meals.

Dementia Care

If they aren’t a safety risk to themselves or others, helping a senior family member with dementia stay in their home can be highly beneficial. The committed, highly qualified caregivers at Caring At Home can assist clients with Alzheimer’s or dementia in the comfort of their private residences. In addition to helping the patient feel safe and secure – reducing the likelihood of anxiety or confusion episodes – our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care services relieve the family’s responsibilities so they can stay refreshed.

Personal Care

Most of us wake up and start our days using the bathroom, bathing, dressing, and grabbing a bite to eat. For many seniors, this morning routine is not so easy as they struggle to perform basic activities of daily living (ADLs). To assist your efforts, the certified home health aides from Caring At Home offer reliable and discreet personal caregiving assistance for seniors.

Conveniently available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our customized Personal Care solutions include the following:

Bathing & Showering
Transfer & Ambulation Assistance

Respite Care

Although it’s a labor of love, caring for an aging friend or relative can be physically and emotionally demanding. If you’re not careful, caregiver burnout can sneak up on you when least expected, impacting the quality of life of both you and your loved one. Our reliable respite caregivers can step in while you take a well-deserved break, allowing your senior to age gracefully in place while enjoying the familiar and comfortable surroundings of home.

Once customized to your needs, our affordable and reliable Respite Care services provide family caregivers with these benefits:

Rest & Recharge
