LIVE-IN AND CONTINUOUS CARE
Live-in and 24-hour home care in Seattle
Two ways to make sure your loved one always has help. With Live-In Care, one caregiver stays in the home, with set sleep and off-duty time. With 24-Hour Care, two caregivers each work a 12-hour shift, so someone is always awake and on duty.
Not sure which you need? We’ll help you decide.
Live-In Care or 24-Hour Care: which fits your family?
The key question: can care pause while the caregiver sleeps, or does someone need to be awake all night?
Live-In Care
- Who stays: One caregiver stays in the home and provides extended daily support.
- Daily help: Assistance with routines, personal care, meals, companionship, and other needs in the care plan.
- Rest and time off: The arrangement includes defined sleep, rest, and off-duty time.
- Coverage limit: Live-In Care provides consistency, but it is not continuous awake supervision.
Often a good fit when your loved one needs a lot of help during the day but usually sleeps through the night.
24-Hour Care
- Who provides care: Caregivers rotate through coordinated shifts.
- Shift schedule: Family Best Care uses two 12-hour shifts.
- Day and overnight: Coverage continues throughout the day and night.
- Coverage purpose: For someone who can’t safely be left alone at any hour.
Often the right choice when help is needed overnight, or your loved one can’t be left alone.

How 24-Hour Care works
Two caregivers share the day and night, and both follow the same care plan.
12-Hour Day Shift
One caregiver helps with daily needs during a 12-hour shift.
12-Hour Overnight Shift
A second caregiver provides support during a 12-hour overnight shift.
Tell us what nights usually look like so we can plan the right overnight help.
When around-the-clock care makes sense
Around-the-clock care often helps people living with memory loss, coming home from the hospital, or receiving hospice care.
It also means family caregivers can finally sleep again.
We’ll help you choose between Live-In and 24-Hour Care based on what your loved one actually needs.
Help with daily life at home
Depending on the care plan, help can include:
Live-In Care does not include awake overnight supervision. If nights are unpredictable, 24-Hour Care is usually the better fit.
Our care is non-medical and works alongside any clinical care your loved one receives.
Caregivers prepared around your loved one
We aim for familiar faces: one live-in caregiver or a small, steady team. Every caregiver knows the care plan before the first visit.
With 24-Hour Care, both shifts follow the same plan, so care stays consistent at every handoff.
An Office Team Stays Involved
Our office handles scheduling, keeps you updated, and adjusts the plan as needs change.
If a caregiver can’t make it, we keep you in the loop and work to send a qualified replacement.
