Undersrtanding Your Options
Live-In Care vs. Hourly 24/7 Care —
What's the Difference?
Families often ask us this question. The right structure depends entirely on your loved one's needs — and we'll help you figure out which fits best during your free assessment.
✓ Live-In Care
One caregiver, living in the home
A single caregiver lives in the home full-time, providing care throughout the day with designated sleep hours at night. Ideal for most high-need situations.
✓
Consistent, familiar face every day
✓
Deep knowledge of your loved one's routines
✓
More affordable than rotating shift care
✓
Stronger relationship & trust over time
✓
Available for overnight non-emergency needs
✓
Best fit for most dementia & Parkinson's cases
Hourly Rotating Shift Care
Multiple caregivers in shifts
Two or three caregivers rotate in 8–12 hour shifts, providing continuous active coverage with no sleep breaks. For seniors requiring constant active monitoring.
✗
Continuous active supervision, no sleep period
✗
Best for very high acuity or medical-adjacent needs
✗
Caregiver fresh energy on every shift
✗
Higher cost than live-in arrangements
✗
Multiple caregivers can be disorienting for dementia
✗
Less continuity and personal relationship
Not sure which is right? During your free in-home assessment, we'll evaluate your loved one's level of need and make an honest recommendation — including if they need something other than live-in care.
Is this right for your Family?
Live-In Care Is Often the Right Choice
in These Situations
Families come to us at different breaking points. Here are the six most common situations where live-in care becomes the right answer.
Most Urgent
Post-hospital discharge with high needs
Your loved one is coming home from a hospital stay but isn't ready to be alone. They need consistent help, monitoring, and someone there if anything changes overnight.
Very Common
Mid-to-late stage dementia or Alzheimer's
Wandering, nighttime confusion, and the need for constant orientation make live-in care the safest and most humane option — far less disruptive than a memory care facility.
Common
Parkinson's disease progression
As Parkinson's advances, fall risk, mobility challenges, and medication timing become critical around the clock. A dedicated live-in caregiver manages all of this consistently.
Family Decision
Family Decision
Your family has decided that a facility isn't the right path. Live-in care provides the same level of constant oversight, in the home your loved one knows and loves.
Caregiver Burnout
Family caregiver reaching a breaking point
You've been doing everything — nights, weekends, everything. Live-in care steps in as a full transition, giving you your life back while ensuring your loved one is safe.
Transition Support
Stroke recovery or major health event
A stroke or serious health event has changed everything quickly. Live-in care provides the intensive, consistent support needed during recovery and the new normal that follows.
Specialized Care

Make The Right Decision
24/7 Live-In Care at Home vs.
Memory Care or Nursing Facility
When full-time care becomes necessary, families face one of the hardest decisions of their lives. Here's an honest look at how the two paths compare.
✓ Live-In Care — Home Care for Families
Care at Home
✓
One-on-one dedicated caregiver — not a shared staff
✓
Same home, same bedroom, same routines
✓
Family visits anytime with no restrictions
✓
Caregiver deeply learns your loved one's needs
✓
Flexible — adjust care level as needs change
✓
Often comparable cost to memory care facilities
✓
Less disorienting — critical for dementia patients
Memory Care / Nursing Facility
Moving to a Facility
✗
Staff shared across many residents at once
✗
Unfamiliar environment — highly disorienting for dementia
✗
Restricted visiting hours and facility policies
✗
Standardized care — not tailored to individual preferences
✗
Difficult and traumatic to reverse once settled
✗
$4,500–$7,500+/month for DFW memory care
✗
Loss of personal belongings, space, and independence
The honest truth: Live-in care isn't right for everyone — some medical needs do require facility-level support. We'll tell you honestly during your free assessment which is the better path for your loved one's specific situation.

Common Questions
Companion Care Questions
Answered Honestly
Everything families ask before getting started — including the ones about cost and insurance that other providers avoid.
How much does 24/7 live-in care cost in Plano, TX?
Standard live-in care in the Plano and McKinney area runs $5,500–$7,000/month. Dementia and Parkinson's specialization typically ranges $6,500–$8,000/month. We provide an exact quote during your free in-home assessment.
Is live-in care cheaper than a nursing home?
Often yes — or comparable. DFW memory care facilities typically cost $4,500–$7,500+/month for shared-staff, facility-based care. Live-in care provides one-on-one attention in your loved one's own home, frequently at a similar or lower cost depending on care needs.
What is the difference between live-in and 24/7 shift care?
Live-in care means one caregiver lives in the home with designated sleep hours. 24/7 shift care uses rotating caregivers with no breaks — ideal for very high-acuity needs requiring constant active monitoring. We'll recommend the right structure during your
free assessment.
Can live-in caregivers handle dementia or Parkinson's?
Yes — this is actually where live-in care excels. A consistent, familiar caregiver is far less disorienting for dementia patients than rotating staff or a facility environment. We match caregivers with specific dementia and Parkinson's training and experience.
Does Medicare cover live-in care?
No. Medicare does not cover custodial live-in care. It only covers short-term, medically necessary care after a hospital stay. Most families use private pay, long-term care insurance, or VA benefits for veterans and surviving spouses.
Can I use long-term care insurance for live-in care?
Yes. Most LTCI policies cover 24/7 live-in care, often at higher benefit levels than part-time care. We help families navigate their policy and coordinate directly with major long-term care insurance carriers — call us and we'll walk you through it.
How quickly can live-in care begin in Plano?
For urgent situations — hospital discharge, family emergency, sudden decline — we can often place a qualified live-in caregiver within 24–72 hours. Planned transitions typically begin within one week of the free in-home assessment.
What if the caregiver isn't the right fit?
We re-match. Our goal is finding someone your loved one genuinely connects with — not just filling a schedule. If the first caregiver isn't working for any reason, we'll find a better match at no additional cost. Your loved one's comfort comes first.
Still deciding? We're happy to talk through your situation with no obligation — just real answers from a local Plano team.
