How does 24hr care at home work? What are the options available?

24hr care at home can be provided through ‘live-in care’ or through 12hr care ‘shifts’ or ‘visits’.

Live-in care is suitable for people who might need care or companionship throughout the day and is usually less costly than ‘shifts’ or ‘visits’. 12hr care shifts are suitable for people who cannot be left alone and need 1:1 care at all times throughout the day and night.

You could choose to recruit and train your own carers to provide this or you could use a specialist provider like Paragon Home Healthcare to provide this for you.
