Not all care looks the same — and that’s a good thing.
When you’re exploring support options for a loved one, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Here’s a simple breakdown of three core types of home care, and what each one offers:
✅ Hourly Visits
Best for those who need light, flexible support – like help with meals, hygiene, medication reminders, or a bit of company during the day. Visits can be arranged daily, weekly, or around appointments.
🏠 Live-In Care
Ideal for individuals with ongoing needs who want to remain at home rather than move into a facility. A full-time carer lives in the home, offering 24/7 help with personal care, mobility, companionship, and more – always tailored to routine and preferences.
🌙 Overnight or Respite Care
Designed for short-term support or for families who need help overnight. This care gives loved ones peace of mind during sleep hours, or allows family caregivers to take a break while ensuring continuity of care.
🧭 Still not sure what’s right?
We’ll help you navigate your options and build a plan that fits — no pressure, just practical advice.
