Hourly care or live-in care — which is right for your family?
Both options provide professional support at home. The right choice depends on how much help is needed, and when.
Choosing between hourly and live-in care starts with one question: how many hours a day does your loved one actually need support?
Hourly care suits families who need help with specific parts of the day — mornings, mealtimes, evenings or weekends. It is flexible: hours can be increased or reduced as needs change, and it costs less than continuous presence.
Live-in care provides around-the-clock reassurance. It works best for individuals who need supervision through the night, have significant mobility needs, or simply feel safer with someone always at home.
Many families start with a few weekly visits and move to live-in support later. There is no permanent commitment — a care coordinator can help you review the plan every few months as needs change.
