There are two types of home care services offered by Home Care Assistance; live-in home care and hourly home care. These two senior care options are often confusing to decipher because they differ only when it comes to the extent of care that is given to a client. You will need to assess the needs of your elderly loved one carefully to determine which care option is best suited for them. Ask yourself a few questions such as, does your parent or loved one get up multiple times a night and require assistance with medication reminders or other physical issues? Does your parent or loved one fair well on their own and sleep throughout the night and only need assistance occasionally?
An elderly individual needing assistance throughout the night would need a caregiver to be present at all times and should therefore be provided with Milwaukee Live-in Care. Hourly home care will allow different caregivers to rotate and share the responsibilities of being alert and providing attentive care.
An elderly individual who only needs assistance on occasion would fair better with hourly home care. Hourly home care entails assistance and care giving for elderly adults on a short term basis. Caregivers can come in one day a week, a few times a week or every day for a few hours. The in-home caregiver will be available 24 hours of the day but will not rotate shift with other workers and will be expected to have a regular sleeping schedule within the 24 hour period. An agency may provide you with two Milwaukee Senior Care caregivers for in the event one would need to take time off you would have another readily available to be a replacement.
Research the cost difference between the two home care services if financial matters hinder your decision in making a choice between live-in care and hourly care.
