Live-In Care
A caregiver who lives with you, so help is always close
Steady, familiar caregivers
24-hour awake care also available
Home, with someone there
Care at home, with a caregiver in residence
A live-in caregiver resides in your loved one’s home and provides care throughout the day, while remaining available overnight. It is a good fit for people who need help during the day and only occasional support at night.
Live-in caregivers are entitled to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep and scheduled meal and rest breaks. If nights need more than that, our 24-hour awake care is the next step.
- Needs help throughout the day

How live-in care works
A steady presence, with healthy boundaries
Live-in care is built to keep your loved one supported while keeping their caregiver rested and at their best.
A caregiver in the home
Your loved one has someone close at hand, without leaving the home they know.
Care throughout the day
Personal care, meals, companionship and help with daily routines.
Available overnight
A caregiver is in the home for occasional needs during the night.
Eight hours of sleep
Live-in caregivers are entitled to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep.
Scheduled breaks
Planned meal and rest breaks keep caregivers refreshed.
Consistent relationships
A small, steady team lets meaningful bonds form over time.
Typical live-in schedules
Two common ways to staff live-in care
Either way, a small, steady team brings consistency and lets your loved one build meaningful relationships with their caregivers.
Four days and three days
One caregiver works four consecutive days, and a second caregiver works three consecutive days.
Seven days on, seven days off
Two caregivers alternate, each working seven days in a row and then taking seven days off.
Around-the-clock care
When nights need more, choose 24-hour awake care
Some individuals need a caregiver who is awake, alert and immediately available through the day and the night. For these situations, Cura provides 24-hour awake care, staffed by two caregivers working alternating 12-hour shifts.
A caregiver is always awake and actively providing care, so supervision and support never pause.
