Unsure If You Need Overnight or 24-Hour Home Care? We’ll Guide You
The right type of home care depends on your loved one’s unique needs, preferences, and routines. We’ll help you choose the best option to make their days and nights easier at home.
24-hour care may be best if your loved one:
- Needs hands-on support throughout the day and night
- Wakes frequently or feels confused or restless at night
- Struggles with memory challenges that may cause wandering
- Needs help with meals, mobility, and personal routines at all hours
- Feels comfortable knowing a caregiver is present at all times
Overnight care may be the better choice if your loved one:
- Manages well during the day but needs assistance in the evening or overnight
- Occasionally wakes and needs help with the bathroom or getting back to bed
- Feels uneasy or lonely at night and needs a reassuring presence
- Could use extra support for bedtime routines or morning assistance
- Already has daytime coverage but needs someone nearby overnight
Our Caregivers Are Available To Start Immediately, Don’t Wait!
Your loved one’s needs are unpredictable, so we’re dependable. You can call us whenever you need us, and we’re often able to start care within 24 hours, so your family will never be left without the support you need.

Common Questions Families Ask
About Care
How do 24-hour care, live-in care, and overnight care compare?
- 24-hour care involves multiple caregivers who rotate shifts, ensuring someone is always awake and ready to help whenever needed.
- Live-in care provides one caregiver who stays in the home for the entire day, offering full-day support and sleeping overnight with scheduled breaks.
- Overnight care covers evening and nighttime hours, giving your loved one assistance and reassurance through the night for safety and peace of mind.
What factors influence the cost of care?
Pricing depends on your loved one’s needs, the hours of care provided, and whether the caregiver stays awake or rests overnight. At Family Matters, we offer clear, customized pricing that reflects your specific care plan—so you’ll always know exactly what’s included.
Does insurance or Medicare pay for home care?
Most traditional insurance and Medicare plans don’t cover non-medical home care. However, long-term care insurance and veterans’ assistance programs may offer financial help. Our team can review your policy, explain your options, and assist with any paperwork.
How do you select the right caregiver for my loved one?
We take time to understand your loved one’s lifestyle, health needs, and personality. Then, we pair them with a caregiver whose skills and demeanor create a comfortable, trusting relationship. If adjustments are needed, we handle them promptly and thoughtfully.
Can the care schedule be updated later?
Absolutely. Each care plan is flexible and can evolve as your loved one’s needs change. Whether it’s adding extra hours, adjusting overnight coverage, or transitioning to full 24-hour support, we’ll adapt your plan to provide the right level of care at every stage.
