Deciding Whether Live-In or Hourly Care Is Best For You

Hourly Care - you completely control the care giving schedule.  After all, who knows your needs better than you?  Our goal is to provide you with flexibility.  Hourly care can be as short as 5 hours or as long as 24 hrs.  Generally, shifts 12 hrs and under would be staffed by one person.  

Our Caregivers will provide you complete support for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).  These include Bathing, Grooming, Ambulation, Exercise, Trips Out of The Home, Medication Reminders, Shopping, Light Housekeeping, Meal Preparation, Laundry and many other duties.  In short, the Caregiver will help with the tasks that you need help with. 

Live-In Care might be a better solution is care is needed for beyond 12 hrs a day.  Alliance Care is one of the few companies that still offers Live-In Care.  That give you flexibility.  Live-In caregivers will also assist with ADLs.

Why would you chose Live-In Care?  Often it has to do with either stand-by assistance needs or with supervision and companionship.  Live-In care is cost competitive with Skilled Nursing Care and many Assisted Living solutions.  There are some requirements we have to discuss with you about Live-In Care, so just ask about them.  Live-In Care is not "around the clock".  The Caregiver has to sleep, so care lasts about 16 hrs a day.
