What is Live-In Care?

At Griswold Care Pairing for Broward County, we refer Caregivers who may offer many different care options to help you or a loved one Live Assured in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area. One such option is Live-In Care.

What is Live-In Care?

Live-In Care is perfect for someone who needs consistent and ongoing support. One of our referred Caregivers will live in the home, and often these arrangements result in healthy and meaningful friendships that can improve the client’s overall quality of life. The only requirements are that the Caregiver be given adequate sleep and living quarters and have 6-8 hours off each day. Typically, if the client is awake, the Caregiver is working.

We can refer a Caregiver who may provide:

• Homemaking Care – including running errands, meal planning and preparation, dishwashing, cleaning, organizing, plant care, and laundry.
• Companionship Care – such as shopping and running errands, writing and sending cards, supporting hobbies and interests, and providing camaraderie at social events.
• Personal Care – toileting, bathing, oral care, skin care, general hygiene, hair care, grooming, and dressing.

Live-In Care can be especially effective for those who need support due to certain conditions, illnesses, or injuries. This includes those suffering from Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

What are the differences between Live-In Care, Overnight Care, and 24-Hour Care?

Overnight Care is great when your loved one cannot be alone overnight. One of our referred Caregivers can stay in their home while the client sleeps to provide that peace of mind. We can refer a Caregiver who may assist with toileting, medication reminders, morning meal prep, and personal care to start your day.

24-hour Care is another option that may be right for you. A team of referred Caregivers ensures there is always an awake Caregiver at the home ready to assist if needed.

Live-In Care offers your loved one assistance and attention in the environment they trust most. Before taking your loved one out of their comfort zone, consider a Griswold-referred Caregiver to give them the care they deserve.

If you are in the Greater Fort Lauderdale area and think Live-In-Care would be right for you or a loved one, please reach out today. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and can schedule one of our gifted referred Caregivers for a shift within 24 hours of your call.
