How to know when it’s time for 24-hour care?


If you are a primary CareGiver, there may come a time to consider employing 24-hour care. It can be difficult to know when the time is right, but if you are struggling to provide safe and effective care yourself, then there is no shame in seeking support.

There are certain things to consider that can help you make your decision regarding full-time care. We recommend considering the following questions:

  • Is your loved one safe if they’re home alone?
    Is there a possibility that your loved one may not be safe when someone isn’t around to care for them? Are you worried that your loved one may fall or otherwise hurt themselves? It may be time to seek support from a full-time Carer. Similarly if you are concerned that your loved one isn’t able to meet their own physical needs, such as eating and drinking, our team of Carers can help.
  • Are you feeling overwhelmed by providing care?
    CareGiver stress can be an important sign that it may be time to seek help from someone else. If you just need some short-term support or temporary relief, you may want to look into our respite care services.
  • Does your loved one require more care than you are qualified to provide?
    Most people aren’t trained to deal with the full extent of their loved one’s needs. If they require specialist care in response to a medical condition, then it’s likely time to consider 24-hour support.

We’re aware that there are other factors to consider when deciding what is right for you and your family; but these questions are a good place to start.

Our friendly and supportive team of full-time CareGivers and facilitators will help to define a care plan that suits you. The most important thing is to acknowledge that your loved one’s safety ought to come first. Remember: there is no shame in enlisting full-time support to meet their care requirements.

FAQs about our 24-hour support service in Bishop’s Stortford & Braintree

What is the difference between live-in care and 24-hour care?

24-hour care involves having two dedicated CareGivers visit the home of the Client for a set period of time. One of our CareGivers will stay with the Client throughout the day and the other will stay during the night.

Having a live-in Carer is different as this involves a single CareGiver taking up residence in your home. Live in-Carers have agreed working hours and are not necessarily on-call 24-hours a day.

Take a look at our live-in care services that are also available in Bishop’s Stortford & Braintree to consider which care package would suit your loved one’s circumstances best. Or speak to a member of our team for further information.

How much does 24-hour care cost in Bishop’s Stortford & Braintree?

Our 24-hour in-home care cost is calculated based on the individual needs of the Client. In some cases, local councils or local authority organisations may offer support to help pay for a full-time home Carer.
