live-in care

Home-based caregiver arrangement

Live-in care is a caregiving arrangement where a professional caregiver resides in the home of someone who needs assistance, typically an elderly or disabled person.

Unlike visiting caregivers who come for scheduled hours, live-in caregivers provide round-the-clock support with daily activities, medication, meals, and companionship: After her stroke, we arranged live-in care so she could stay in her own home.
