Live-In Care: What is it? What are the Benefits?

Worried about your loved one’s safety but they want to keep their independence and stay in their home? Live-in care is the answer!

Live-in care is when a certified home health aide lives in an individual’s home and assists them with their needs in the home setting. The care plan is individualized to the client to provide the highest level of safety, comfort, and independence possible. 

In New Jersey, the average cost of a private room in a nursing home is almost $12,000 per month, and a semi-private room averages almost $11,000 per month. Live-in care is a more affordable option that provides one-on-one assistance within the home, all while keeping the client in a familiar, comfortable setting.

Benefits of Live-in Care:

  • Personalized plan of care, tailored to each client to promote their individual well-being 
  • Peace of mind for clients and family members 
  • One-on-one care and attention
  • Freedom to have choices when it comes to daily routine and timetables, such as bathing schedule, meal times, sleep times
  • Improved health outcomes:
    •  faster recuperation time after an illness or injury
    • less likely to be readmitted to a hospital setting during time of recuperation
    • Benefits to overall health, as the caregiver is in tune with a client’s behavior and can distinguish when the client’s condition changes or is different than usual
  • Continuity of care provided by one caregiver, which helps build a higher level of rapport and trust between the client and caregiver
  • No worry of call-outs due to emergencies or inclement weather
  • More cost effective than a nursing home
