“They had that special touch that only people who really care can give” - Stories from Santa Cruz Families
Choosing Between Overnight or 24-Hour Care: What’s Best for You?
Every family’s needs are different, so the right care depends on the level of support your loved one needs. During your care consultation, we’ll help you decide which option is the best fit for you.
24-hour home care may be the right choice if your loved one:
- Needs assistance during both daytime and nighttime hours
- Frequently wakes up during the night and needs help or reassurance
- Has safety concerns and cannot be left alone
- Benefits from reminders and support throughout the day
- Feels more at ease knowing a caregiver is always present
Overnight care may be a good fit if your loved one:
- Manages well during the day but becomes anxious or unsettled at night
- Could use help with bedtime routines, bathroom assistance, or getting ready in the morning
- Struggles with nighttime restlessness, wandering, or trouble sleeping
- Has family available during the day but needs coverage through the night
- Finds comfort in having a reassuring presence until morning

Common Questions
About Home Care Services
How do 24-hour care, live-in care, and overnight care differ?
- 24-hour care provides continuous support from caregivers working in shifts, so someone is always awake and ready to assist whenever needed.
- Live-in care allows one caregiver to stay in the home all day, offering steady help and sleeping overnight while remaining available if called upon.
- Overnight care is limited to the evening and nighttime hours, focusing on comfort, safety, and any needs that arise while your loved one sleeps.
What factors determine the cost of care?
Care costs vary depending on the level of assistance required, the total hours needed, and whether the overnight caregiver remains awake or sleeps during the shift. At Family Matters, we believe in transparency—each care plan is personalized, with clear pricing and no hidden fees.
Does insurance or Medicare cover these services?
Most Medicare and traditional insurance plans don’t cover non-medical home care. However, long-term care insurance and veterans’ assistance programs may help offset some of the cost. Our team can review your options, clarify coverage, and assist with any paperwork you may need.
How are caregivers chosen for my loved one?
Before assigning a caregiver, we take time to learn about your loved one’s personality, preferences, and care needs. We match them with someone whose approach and demeanor fit naturally. If adjustments are ever needed, we respond promptly to make sure your loved one feels fully comfortable and cared for.
