24 Hour Care
If you are in need of around the clock care, we provide 24 hour home care to ensure a caregiver will be there at all times. This service is a great alternative to assisted living as it allows clients and patients to receive continuous care while letting them stay in the comfort of their home. We are often asked to provide this service for a few weeks after a hospital or rehab visit. Whether short term or long term, Peak Moments is there to meet your needs.
Often times, family members and friends simply cannot provide this care without assistance. We welcome the opportunity to assist in taking the needed time to get away. Whether it’s a few days of 24 hour care or long term, let Peak Moments provide the time you need to give attention to other needs of your daily life.
For 24 hour care, Peak Moments assigns a team of well-matched caregivers. Caregivers work in shifts that are set up based upon the needs of the individuals receiving care. These can be 8, 10 or 12 hour shifts, and anything in-between. Adjustments can be made to these shifts, but the goal is to be consistent and to provide a fresh caregiver at a shift change.
There is no sleeping break given to a caregiver during 24 hour care. However, you can allow the overnight caregiver to sleep if you choose. We work with the individual, the family and medical professionals to create the plan of care. During the times we are there we go about the shift as a normal, providing all of the activities we would normally provide including but not limited to:
- Housekeeping
- Home making
- Companionship
- Disease Specific care
- Personal care
- Shopping
- Socialization
- Meal planning and preparation
