What is 24-hour Home Care?

24-Hour Home Care is beneficial for those who may need assistance at any time, day or night.

24-Hour Home Care

Clients who choose 24-Hour Care have uninterrupted support from a dedicated team of Caregivers, available around the clock, every day of the week. Unlike other around-the-clock options, where Caregivers have designated sleep hours, our 24-Hour Care ensures that two or three Caregivers are on 12 or 8-hour shifts. They will remain awake and attentive throughout their entire shift to deliver consistent care, whether that’s early morning or late at night. Additionally, arrangements with Griswold can include thorough client documentation and coordination with other healthcare providers, such as hospice or home health services.

What If I Don’t Want 24-Hour Care? What Are My Options?

Live-in Care

Live-in home care is when a Caregiver lives in the client’s home and provides care to the client while they are awake. The Caregiver will have their own room and dedicated time off from caregiving duties each day.

Overnight Care

Overnight Care gives clients and families peace of mind that a Caregiver is on standby should someone need support during the overnight hours. Whether that is a client having a hard time sleeping, experiencing side effects from medication, or needing a reassuring ear in the middle of the night. Our Caregivers can be there to help. This also includes personal care tasks and preventing falls by helping the client move around, if needed.

Does Griswold Offer All of Those?

We currently offer 24-hour home care and overnight care services, but not live-in care.
