Live-in care involves a caregiver residing in the client's home, providing assistance as needed throughout the day and night, typically with breaks for rest and personal time. In contrast, 24-hour care involves round-the-clock supervision and support by a team of caregivers who work in shifts to ensure continuous care without interruption. While live-in care may be suitable for individuals who require moderate assistance and can allow for more consistency in caregiver-client relationships, 24-hour care offers constant monitoring and immediate assistance for those with more complex needs or who require frequent medical attention. At Care Mountain, we provide both live-in and 24-hour care options, tailored to the specific needs and preferences of our clients.

Dementia patients often fare better at home due to the inherent support system and familiarity with their surroundings. At home, individuals with dementia can participate in their own care more actively. They remain familiar with details such as the floor plan, furniture, and bedrooms, which can provide a sense of comfort and security. Care provided in the familiar environment of home often promotes a higher quality of life and greater independence for dementia patients. At Care Mountain, we understand the importance of maintaining a familiar environment for individuals with dementia, and we provide specialized in-home care services to support their unique needs.
