Generally, overnight caregivers for the elderly aren't allowed to sleep. However, overnight care becomes invaluable to seniors and their families when more comprehensive care is needed. While many seniors experience a better quality of life with assistance with the activities of daily living, such as bathing, meal preparation, grocery shopping and dressing, greater care is eventually required for those suffering from progressive conditions, like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. If this is your elderly loved one case, then ask us details to learn what our overnight caregiver policies are.

When day-to-day tasks become daunting ordeals for your elderly loved one, it is paramount that you ensure their safety. Consider the risk of having them live alone and find ways to keep them safe, especially when they have health problems.
Here are some signs to know it is the appropriate time to seek in-home care services for your elderly loved one: loneliness, poor memory, medication is not taken correctly, declined personal grooming, huge arrears in utility bills, inability to prepare food properly, lack of mobility, among others.

Medicare typically doesn’t pay for in-home caregivers for personal care or housekeeping if that’s the only care your elderly loved one needs. However, Medicare may pay for short-term caregivers if your elderly love one also needs medical care to recover from surgery, an illness, or an injury. Additionally, Medicare pays for short-term home health services like skilled nursing care, physical therapy, or occupational therapy if your elderly love one is homebound and their doctor orders it.
