Non-Medical Home Care
Live-In Caregivers in South Florida
A live-in caregiver resides in the client's home and provides daily support across a 24-hour period with a scheduled rest break. Focus Family Care places live-in caregivers throughout Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Martin, and St. Lucie counties.
What a Live-In Caregiver Provides
Daily Personal Care
The caregiver assists with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting throughout the day.
Meals and Housekeeping
The caregiver prepares meals, does light housekeeping, and manages laundry for the client.
Medication Reminders
The caregiver prompts each medication on schedule under the supervising nurse's plan.
Companionship and Errands
The caregiver provides company, drives to appointments, and runs errands during the day.
Overnight Presence
The caregiver sleeps in the home and is available for reasonable nighttime needs after a scheduled rest break.
Nurse-Supervised Plan
A registered nurse writes and supervises the live-in care plan and adjusts it as needs change.
Live-In Care Versus 24-Hour Care
A live-in caregiver lives in the home and takes a scheduled sleep period, which suits clients who are stable overnight. 24-hour home care uses a rotating team of caregivers who each stay awake for the full shift, which suits clients who need active attention through the night.
Focus Family Care helps each family choose between live-in care and 24-hour care based on the client's overnight needs, home layout, and budget.
What a Live-In Arrangement Requires
A live-in arrangement requires a private place for the caregiver to sleep and a rest period each day. Focus Family Care explains the room, meal, and schedule requirements before care begins and matches a caregiver to the client by need, schedule, and language.
Who Benefits from a Live-In Caregiver
A live-in caregiver benefits seniors who want to age in place with consistent one-on-one support. Focus Family Care places live-in caregivers for clients recovering from illness, clients with early dementia, and clients who need help with daily activities but are safe overnight.
