While companionship may seem like an afterthought in the grand scheme of elderly care, it’s vitally important to the physical and mental health of seniors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says [1]:
“Loneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions…Social isolation significantly increased a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.”
It depends on whether you get hourly home care or live-in home care. With hourly 24-hour home care, two caregivers work 12 hours each or 3 caregivers work 8 hours each to provide care around the clock. In this case, each caregiver is being paid to stay awake for their entire shift.
If you have a live-in caregiver, you are required to give them 8 hours off every night to sleep, and you may be required to give them time off during the day, as well. However, you typically only have 2 regular caregivers – one for weekdays and one for weekends.

Hourly home caregivers arrive for an 8-12 hour shift and stay awake to care for you or your loved one the entire time. They then go home at the end of their shift when another caregiver arrives. Live-in caregivers stay in your home for up to 5 days each week (you’ll typically have a weekday caregiver and a weekend caregiver), but they get 8 hours off every night to sleep.
Each type of 24-hour care has its own pros and cons. While live-in home care is cheaper than hourly home care and you or your loved one get to know fewer caregivers, somebody else (including a loved one) must able to provide care for the patient while the live-in caregiver sleeps each night.
Hourly home care is more expensive and more caregivers will come to your home, but there will always be somebody awake and available to assist you or your loved one.
