No matter your needs, our care for seniors can benefit you in any form
At over 840 square miles, Jacksonville in northeast Florida is the biggest city in the US. It's also a popular place for seniors to retire, and those who don't live here love to visit. There are lots of great local amenities, a low cost of living, and of course plenty of wonderful sunshine. With miles of beautiful beaches and spectacular parks, there's certainly a lot to love about this place. Right now, about 11% of Jacksonville's population is seniors, and around 28% of the over-65s live at home alone. The good news is that Comfort Keepers is here, providing quality 24 hour home care services for seniors of all ages in all situations.
Support for your family only takes
Comfort Keepers of Jacksonville, FL, serves the local community by helping older folks—who need help—to age with grace and independence in their Florida homes. Some need a little assistance once or twice a week, whereas others may need round-the-clock live-in support.
Comfort Keeper's 24-hour solutions offer customized plans that match the care recipient's needs and those of their loved ones. Both 24-hour care plans and live-in care provide round-the-clock support. Which is best for you or a loved one will depend on your circumstances and the care available in your immediate area. Here's how it works:
- Number of caregivers per day: minimum two
- Hours per day a caregiver works: 8-12 hours per caregiver
The main benefit of 24 hour home care services is that there will always be an awake and alert professional caregiver in the home at all times. Some care recipients and their families prefer this option. The reason is because they like the idea of having someone there who isn't asleep. With live-in care, the caregiver also sleeps even though they're ready to wake up and take action in the event of an emergency.
How Live-In Care For Seniors Differs
Below is the basic arrangement of a live-in care plan:
- Number of caregivers per day: one
- Hours per day a caregiver works: 24 hours with a 4-hour break
- Sleep break: eight hours
Familiarity with a personal caregiver is one of the main attractions with live-in, 24 hour home care services. It also cost less than having two or three different caregivers working a shift pattern. If the care is long term, many clients like to build quality relationships with their caregiver.
Both of these services offer excellent alternatives to assisted living. It means clients get to stay in the comfort of their home, surrounded by the people and things that are important to them. There are pros and cons for both options. What works best for you or a loved one depends on specific needs, budget, and preferences.
