Our one hour visit service is designed for a client who has a limited number of tasks that can be performed within approximately one hour.
This is sometimes called a wake-up or tuck-in visit because of the typical times it is needed. For example, a client may just need a caregiver to come in the morning, wake them up, help them bathe and dress, remind them to take medications, fix an easy breakfast and then tidy up the work areas before they leave. Or perhaps some extra help is needed getting to bed at night or simply a companion to come for lunch and take the client for a walk. Any combination of tasks that can be reasonably completed with an hour time frame is appropriate for this service.
Rates include caregiver, case manager and hour phone support. An hourly caregiver works a minimum of four hours up to a maximum of twelve hours per shift per day. Schedules are tailored to fit the client's needs.
When a caregiver is needed 24 hours, it is provided by two caregivers in hour shifts and may require four caregivers to cover a full week. Services can be cancelled at any time with 24 hours notice. Rates include caregiver, clinical case manager and hour phone support. A live-in caregiver is an experienced professional who moves into the home of a client and provides care during waking hours. Live-in service is not hour care.
The caregiver must be able to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep and have a comfortable place to rest and get privacy. The caregiver will be available at night for occasional needs; but if help is needed on a nightly basis, the caregiver will become deprived of sleep and the situation may become unsafe. If a situation is determined to be unsafe, a second caregiver may be needed temporarily to work at night billed at an hourly rate so that the live-in caregiver can get their rest.
