What a Private Duty Caregiver Can Help With
Your caregiver focuses on one person, your loved one, for every hour of the visit. Families most often ask for help with:
- Bathing, dressing and grooming, toileting and incontinence care
- Safe transfers and walking to help prevent falls
- Medication reminders so medicines are taken on time
- Meal preparation, hydration and grocery shopping
- Light housekeeping, laundry and changing linens
- Rides to doctor appointments and errands
- Companionship, conversation, walks and hobbies
- Hospital sitting and help with the move back home after a hospital stay
Flexible Schedules: Hourly, Overnight and 24-Hour Care
Hourly care
A few hours a day, a few days a week. Hourly care works well for help with mornings, bathing, meals and appointments, or to give a family caregiver a break. See hourly and overnight care.
Overnight care
An awake or sleeping caregiver stays the night to help with bathroom trips, prevent falls and calm a loved one who is restless or confused at night.
24-hour care
For around-the-clock needs, we can arrange 24-hour home care with caregivers working in shifts.
Respite care for family caregivers
Spouses and adult children carry a lot. A private caregiver can cover a few hours, a weekend or a vacation, so you can rest knowing your loved one is in good hands. Learn more about respite care.
Who Private Duty Care Helps
- Seniors who want to age in place and stay in their own home

Private Duty Care vs. Medicare Home Health
Medicare home health covers short, part-time visits from nurses and therapists when a doctor orders them. It does not pay for ongoing help with bathing, meals, supervision or companionship. Private duty care fills that gap, with the hours and caregiver you choose. Learn more in private duty care versus Medicare home health.
