Your mom has Alzheimer’s and needs care services all day and night. You can cover some of the hours each day, but it’s hard finding care services at night. You love the idea of 24-hour home care, but you’re not sure exactly what it offers. Take a closer look.

A Second Person Is There for Support

You might be your mom’s primary caregiver, but you don’t have to do it alone. With 24-hour home care aides, you can get work done from your home office while your mom is being fed, bathed, or keeps trying to go outside.

It doesn’t matter if your phone conferences start at 5 a.m. or you work until 10 p.m. Caregivers are always there to help out when needed. You could go to sleep at your usual hour and rest well, knowing that a caregiver is in the home helping your mom if she wakes up in the middle of the night.

You Get a Break

Alzheimer’s is a frustrating chronic health issue. A parent who has shown you nothing but unconditional love may suddenly announce they hate you and refuse to cooperate. That’s exhausting emotionally.

It would be best if you took breaks. Get away for a few hours every day. Whether you visit friends, go window shopping, or go for a long walk, make sure you’re taking the breaks you need.

Around-the-Clock Supervision

With professional caregivers available all day and through the night, your mom is never left alone. You know the risks that come with wandering. The last thing you’d want is your mom to wander away and get lost. When she has care services, there’s always a caregiver in her home to keep an eye on her.

Your mom may not sleep through the night anymore. It doesn’t matter as a team of caregivers covers the different shifts so that there’s always someone awake in her home. If she tries to get outside, her caregiver can redirect her.

How 24-Hour Home Care Works

Caregivers are scheduled in shifts. You may have four caregivers coming to your mom’s house to cover the entire day. Each caregiver works for six hours and leaves when the next caregiver arrives. You never have to worry about your mom being alone for even a minute.

Once you know your mom’s care needs, call and talk to our 24-hour home care specialist. You’d be surprised how helpful this care is when it’s needed. Learn more about prices and book 24-hour home care aides today.
