Choosing Between Overnight and 24-Hour Care? We’ll Help You Decide
When deciding between overnight and 24-hour care, it helps to consider your loved one’s needs and preferences. During your consultation, we’ll help you make the best choice for their safety and comfort.
24-hour care may be the right fit if your loved one:
- Needs steady support throughout the day and night
- Frequently gets up at night and is at risk of wandering
- Would benefit from companionship and reassurance all day
- Has safety concerns like fall risks, confusion, or wandering
- Feels more secure knowing a caregiver is always present
Overnight care may be the right fit if your loved one:
- Is independent during the day but needs extra help through the night
- Struggles with sleeplessness, restlessness, or nighttime anxiety
- Could use support with winding down at bedtime or getting started in the morning
- Finds comfort knowing someone is close by while they rest
- Already has family or daytime caregivers but needs coverage overnight
Need Care Immediately? Our Caregivers Can Start As Soon As Possible
Your loved one’s needs don’t follow a set schedule, so you can call us whenever you need us. We’re able to start care with as little as 24 hours notice, so your family will never be left without the support they need.

Your Most Frequently Asked Questions
About Home Care Options
How do 24-hour care, live-in care, and overnight care differ?
- 24-hour care means caregivers work in rotating shifts so someone is always awake and ready to help around the clock.
- Live-in care provides one caregiver who stays in the home for the entire day, offering ongoing assistance and sleeping overnight with breaks as needed.
- Overnight care is focused on nighttime support—helping with mobility, comfort, and safety so your loved one can rest soundly through the night.
What influences the cost of care?
Care costs depend on factors like the level of support required, total hours of service, and whether the caregiver stays awake overnight. At Family Matters, we customize every care plan and provide straightforward pricing so you always know what to expect—no hidden fees or surprises.
Does Medicare or insurance cover home care?
Generally, Medicare and traditional health insurance do not cover non-medical home care. However, long-term care insurance and veterans’ programs may help pay for services. Our team can review your coverage, explain available benefits, and help with any necessary paperwork.
How do you choose the best caregiver for my loved one?
We start by learning about your loved one’s daily routine, care needs, and personality. From there, we carefully match them with a caregiver who complements their lifestyle. If the match isn’t quite right, we’ll make changes quickly to ensure a comfortable, trusting relationship.
Can the care plan be adjusted over time?
Yes. Every care plan is built with flexibility in mind and can change as your loved one’s needs evolve. Whether you need to add more hours, modify overnight support, or switch to full 24-hour care, we’ll make sure your plan continues to meet your family’s needs.
