Are you looking for a kind and compassionate caregiver to provide care for your family member? Karp Home Care can help! A live-in caregiver lives and works in your home to provide cooking, cleaning, child care, personal care, palliative care, etc. When hiring a live-in caregiver, the cost of room and board is included and a room and bathroom must be provided.

There are three types of live-in caregiver services:

Typical caregiver service: the typical caregiver service includes an average of 40 work hours/week, which is covered over a period of 5-6 days and can include split shifts. Banking on-call hours can be beneficial in case of an emergency.

Continuous support: sometimes, family support is not available. In this case, a caregiver may provide services five days a week, and additional support will be provided for shorter shifts over the weekend which can be paid hourly. This is a more flexible option for when you need support every day of the week.

Palliative care: live-in caregivers can provide round-the-clock care for relief from the symptoms, pain, physical stress, and mental stress of a serious illness. This is the highest level of care and usually requires 2-3 caregivers for 24-hour coverage.

An in home assessment is a free service and the best place to start when organizing live-in care.  Our experience team is ready to help you finding a balance of cost-effective and compassionate care.  Feel free to schedule an in home assessment to help fulfill your needs today.
