Balancing your own responsibilities while caring for an older loved one may be difficult and overwhelming at times. However, if your loved one’s need for assistance and support start to grow, the situation might become much more problematic. Because you cannot be present for them 24 hours a day, hiring a professional caregiver to provide periodic care may be a temporary option. As your loved one's physical and cognitive skills deteriorate, you may need to consider 24-hour care. 

Fortunately, even if your loved one needs long-term care, there is no need for your loved one to move into to a retirement home or an assisted living facility. Your parent may age in place safely and comfortably with 24-hour home care services from Visiting Angels Fort Myers, where they will get all the assistance, monitoring and company they need. 

We offer two types of round-the-clock care services: Live-In Care and 24/7 Hourly Care. 

Live-In Care vs. 24/7 Hourly Care 

Live-in care caregivers stays at the home of a client for typically 2-4 consecutive days and then is relieved by another caregiver. They do not move in.  

With 24/7 hourly care, caregivers remain awake, alert and ready to assist at any time. Each caregiver works a 12-hour shift per day.
