With 20 years of experience in the Dallas- Fort Worth area, Care Mountain offers expert live-in care and 24-hour caregiving solutions tailored to your unique needs. We understand that conditions like CHF, COPD, late-stage dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s demand round-the-clock care.
Live-in care means a trained caregiver resides with your loved one in their home, assisting with daily tasks and offering nighttime support. This level of caregiving is vital, given the complex nature of these conditions. Family members, often overwhelmed by caregiving demands, can find respite in live-in care, allowing them to reclaim their lives while ensuring their loved ones receive professional care.
In live-in care, several factors come into play: cost, the specific care requirements of the client (such as mobility, weight management, and managing health conditions), the complexity of daily shifts, the presence of other family members, and the unique dynamics of day through night care.
Typically, live-in care is provided by a team of 2-3 specialized caregivers per week, with each caregiver staying in the client’s home for several consecutive days (usually 2-5 days). They are experienced in providing compassionate and comprehensive care.
Logistically, live-in caregivers are typically offered a separate room and bathroom and can either bring their own food or use what’s provided by the client.
Involve Your Loved One in the Decision-Making Process: Personalize the choice of caregiver to match your loved one’s personality and care needs. Involving them in the decision-making process ensures they feel comfortable with the caregiver.
Provide the Caregiver with a Detailed Care Plan: We help create a comprehensive care plan aligned with your preferences, ensuring the caregiver understands your loved one’s life, routines, and preferences.
Hire Through a Licensed Agency: Hiring through an agency offers several benefits, including access to backup caregivers in emergencies, rigorous background checks, and professional liability insurance for added security.
Respect Your Live-In Caregivers: Recognize their need for personal space and respect their resting hours. Treating them professionally enhances the overall caregiving experience.
Stay Involved, Especially Initially: Regular communication and involvement in the caregiving process are essential for success. Maintain a good relationship with caregivers, address any concerns, and ensure they understand your family’s unique needs.
