One of the first questions families have when looking into in-home care is: how much help does my loved one actually need? The answer shapes everything, including which type of care arrangement makes sense. There are three main structures Advantage offers, and each fits a different situation.
Hourly care (with a minimum of four consecutive hours per visit) works well for clients who need help with specific parts of their day, mornings, mealtimes, or a few afternoons each week, but are otherwise managing independently. It's also common as a first step when a family wants support in place without committing to around-the-clock coverage right away.
24-hour care means a caregiver is present in the home at all times, with caregivers working in shifts. This is different from live-in care, where one caregiver stays through the night but has designated sleep time built into the schedule. The choice between the two often comes down to how active a client is at night and how quickly their needs may change.
If you're not sure which structure fits your family's situation, Advantage's care coordinators walk through this with every family before a plan is finalized. Visit advantageprivatehomecare.com to learn more, or call 404-312-6423 to talk it through. If you've ever had to figure out the right level of care for a loved one, what helped you make that decision?
