As our loved ones age, their care needs often extend beyond the daytime hours. Whether it’s help with nighttime safety, medication reminders, or simply the peace of mind of knowing someone is always there, families in Elk Grove, CA turn to Aging Assistant for dependable, around-the-clock home care.

Aging Assistant provides trusted 24-hour home care in Elk Grove with trained caregivers who deliver compassionate, consistent support. From part-time care to live-in options, we offer flexible care plans to meet each family's unique needs.

 

What Is 24-Hour Home Care?

24-hour home care means that professional caregivers are present and alert in the home 24 hours a day, typically working in rotating shifts. This ensures there is no gap in care, even during the night.

This model differs from live-in care, where one caregiver stays overnight but is permitted to sleep. In contrast, 24-hour care includes awake overnight caregivers who remain alert and responsive at all hours.

This level of care is ideal for seniors who:

• Wake frequently during the night

• Are at risk of falling

• Have advanced dementia or Alzheimer’s

• Require assistance with mobility or toileting

• Need help after a hospitalization or surgery

Live-In Home Care vs. Hourly Care: What’s the Difference?

When choosing the right type of home care, it’s helpful to understand the difference between live-in home care and hourly or shift-based care.

Live-In Home Care:

• One caregiver stays in the home for 24 hours

• Allowed 8 hours of sleep (usually uninterrupted)

• Works well for clients with low overnight needs

24-Hour Hourly Care:

• Two or more caregivers rotate 12-hour shifts

• Caregivers are awake and alert at all times

• Ideal for clients who require constant supervision or frequent nighttime assistance

Families often prefer hourly 24-hour care when safety and medical conditions demand active support throughout the day and night.

Who Benefits Most from 24-Hour or Overnight Care?

24-hour care isn’t just for emergencies—it provides peace of mind in many everyday situations. Here are a few examples of who might benefit most:

• Seniors with dementia who wander or become disoriented at night

• Older adults recovering from surgery who need help getting in and out of bed

• Loved ones with mobility issues who are at risk for falls

• Family caregivers who are overwhelmed or unable to provide constant care

Aging Assistant’s overnight awake caregivers are trained to manage these challenges with professionalism and kindness.
