Round-the-Clock Support at Home
At Young at Heart Home Care, we know that some clients require more than part-time assistance to stay safe and well at home. Our 24-Hour Care at Home and Live-In Care services in Fort Lauderdale are designed for individuals who need consistent support due to health concerns, cognitive changes, or mobility limitations. Whether your loved one is recovering from surgery or living with dementia, our team provides dependable, professional care — day and night.
What’s the Difference?
24 Hour Care vs. Live-In Care
24 Hour Care at Home
This involves multiple caregivers working in shifts, ensuring someone is always awake and available. This model is best for high-acuity cases, such as advanced dementia or post-hospital recovery, where continuous attention is needed throughout the night.
Live-In Home Care
This means one consistent caregiver resides in the client’s home, providing daytime support and being “on-call” overnight. While the caregiver must have time for sleep and breaks, this model offers excellent continuity of care — especially beneficial for clients with low overnight needs but high daytime dependency.
Common Diagnoses Among Home Care Patients
Safe. Familiar. Consistent.
Why Why Families Choose This Care
Nearly 60% of home care clients have at least one chronic condition such as heart disease, COPD, diabetes, or arthritis. Over 34% of live-in care clients are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, requiring constant supervision (National Association for Home Care & Hospice, 2023)
Enhanced Safety
Continuous supervision helps prevent falls, wandering, or medication mishaps — especially crucial for seniors with memory loss or mobility issues.
Personalized, One-on-One Attention
With a consistent caregiver (live-in) or rotating team (24-hour), care is fully customized to match your loved one’s needs, schedule, and preferences.
Comfort of Home
Remaining in familiar surroundings boosts emotional well-being and reduces the disorientation that often comes with facility transitions.
Ideal for High-Acuity Needs
24-hour care is well-suited for clients with complex conditions or recovery needs requiring constant monitoring, such as post-hospital discharges.
Relief from Caregiver Burnout
Adult children often juggle work, family, and elder care — which can lead to stress or fatigue. Full-time care offers respite and peace of mind.
A Safer Way to Age
The Growing Need
America Is Aging Fast
By 2030, all Baby Boomers will be 65+, and 1 in 5 Americans will be of retirement age.
Desire to Stay at Home
84% of seniors say aging in place is a priority — and 58% say it’s extremely important.
Post-Hospital Recovery
After surgeries or strokes, doctors recommend 24-hour care to support recovery and avoid readmissions.
Care Models Are Shifting
According to the 2024 Home Care Pulse Benchmarking Report, 24/7 home care is growing 3x faster than standard hourly care.
