Who Is 24-Hour Care For?

24-hour care is for people whose needs cannot be safely met by a few visits a day and who need support available at any time.

  • People with advanced dementia or chronic conditions needing constant supervision
  • Those at high risk of falls who need help day and night
  • People recovering from serious illness, surgery or a hospital stay
  • Individuals needing regular repositioning or overnight medication
  • Families who want continuous care without moving a loved one into a care home
  • Anyone needing short-notice, around-the-clock support after a change in circumstances

24-Hour Care vs Live-In Care

Both keep your loved one at home with continuous support, but they work differently. Live-in care is one carer living in the home who takes daily breaks and sleeps at night, ideal where overnight needs are occasional. 24-hour care uses a rota of carers so someone is always awake and active, ideal where there are frequent night-time needs such as repositioning or regular medication. We will help you decide which fits during your free assessment.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions about 24-Hour Care

What is 24-hour care?

24-hour care provides continuous support in your own home, with carers on hand day and night. Unlike a single live-in carer, it usually means a team working in shifts so there is always someone awake and available, which suits people with frequent night-time needs.

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

With live-in care, one or two carers reside in the home, take daily breaks and sleep at night. With 24-hour care, carers work in shifts so someone is always awake and active. 24-hour care suits people who need regular help during the night, such as repositioning or medication.

How much does 24-hour care cost?

The cost of 24-hour care depends on the level of need and the number of carers required. Costs vary, so we provide transparent, personalised pricing with no hidden fees and no long-term contracts. Contact us for a quote based on your situation.

How many carers will provide the care?

24-hour care is usually delivered by a small, consistent team working in shifts, so there is always an alert carer on duty while keeping familiar faces. We match carers to your needs and preferences and keep the team as small as possible for continuity.

Can 24-hour care start at short notice?

Yes. We can often arrange 24-hour care within 24 to 48 hours of an assessment, and we offer emergency support for sudden changes such as a hospital discharge or a carer breakdown.

Is 24-hour care regulated by the CQC?

Yes. Our 24-hour care is regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission, and our most recent inspection rated us Good in all areas of the inspection. Our carers are directly employed, fully trained and DBS-checked.
