When Are Home Care Services Available

Care agencies such as Christian Provider Services in Houston offer elderly and disabled people round-the-clock services. That means you can get a caregiver any time of the day and week for as long as you want. Common shifts include:

• Providing care between around 8 o’clock to 8 pm
• Emergency care when an individual has hurt him/herself. The shift runs until the individual is out of the hospital or able to care for themselves.
• 24-hour care, where the caregiver stays at the client’s home overnight
• Occasional 3-12 hour visits

As said earlier, shifts can be adjusted to fit the client’s specific needs.

The level of care needed by the client can be determined either by the agency or a representative of the client and approved by a staff member, who is sent to conduct an assessment at the client’s home.

The assessment may include safety assessment, mobility assessment to know the individual’s safety requirements, and catering assessments to analyze the client’s amount of assistance in meal preparation.

Benefits Of Home Care Over Any Other Form Of Care Services

1. Affordability – Professional caregivers who provide care at the client’s residence are way cheaper than nursing homes.

2. Facilitates Personalized Care – In-home care ensures the client gets all the attention from the caregiver. This may not be the case in care homes where it is impossible to offer specialized care for each client.

3. Helps Keep Families Together – In-home caregivers offer clients the opportunity to stay at home around friends and family members, preventing loneliness and stress. Studies also show that elderly people who have been ill recently recover faster at home than in hospitals.

4. Home Care Gives You Peace Of Mind – As the full-time caregiver of an elderly or disabled family member, it is customary to be worried about the safety of your loved one in a care home. Home care makes this one more minor problem to worry about, as it allows you to monitor both the caregiver and your loved one.
