Senior Home Care Agencies provide hourly care or live-in care. Hourly care usually requires a minimum of at least 3 to 4 hours of care services per visit. Live-in care provides for a caregiver around-the-clock who prepares meals and eats with the senior and sleeps in the home. If a senior is unable to sleep at night and needs a caregiver who is awake around-the-clock, hourly care would be required, with different caregivers working day and night shifts.

	Private-pay Live-in care close X 24-hour care, Caregiver works during the day and sleeps at night and typically 2 caregivers will rotate during the week.
