How Live-in Care Works
Live-in care offers the seniors the ability to remain at home with supervision 24 hours per day from a NJ certified Home Health aide. It also offers the best economic value for care for anyone requiring more than 8 ½ – 9 hours of care per day.
Live-in caregivers do just as the name sounds; they temporarily stay in the home with the senior. While they are there for 24 hours peer day, they do not work that entire time. They require a place to sleep and put their cloths as well as have time for their own quit enjoyment. Food is also supplied by the client.
Here is an example of what a typical day may be like:
• Wake up in the morning and help their client to get out of bed, bathe and get dressed.
• Prepare breakfast for both the client and themselves and clean up afterwards.
• Perform some light housekeeping and laundry before making lunch.
• After lunch, they may take some time for themselves to relax in their room while the client has company over or naps.
• Later on they will prepare dinner and then clean up.
• Afterwards they may again take some personal time for themselves in another room but never leaving the client unattended.
• Later in the night they will help the client get ready for bed and then retire for the night when they are ready
Basically, they are there for their client without being over bearing. They respect the clients need for independence, privacy and time alone while making themselves available if needed.
