What Is Live-In Care?

Live-in care is a model where one dedicated caregiver moves into your loved one’s home in Morristown and provides around-the-clock assistance. The caregiver is present during waking hours for all daily needs and sleeps in the home at night, available to help with nighttime bathroom trips, repositioning, or emergencies. According to the AARP, live-in care is one of the most effective ways to help seniors age in place safely while maintaining independence and dignity.

Live-in care requires a private sleeping area for the caregiver — a separate bedroom, den, or pull-out sofa. The caregiver receives a daily rate rather than hourly billing, which is why live-in care costs significantly less than 24-hour shift care while providing comparable coverage. Our Registered Nurse designs a detailed care plan, supervises the aide, and coordinates with your loved one’s Morristown physicians and specialists at Morristown Medical Center.
