Our Personal Assistants are trained Memory Care Partners (MCPs). They have in-home experience and are carefully selected to meet each client’s specific needs.

LIVE-IN CARE

When your loved one needs steady support and a familiar presence throughout the day.

As dementia progresses, daily routines often require more hands-on assistance—from morning personal care and meals to medication reminders, walks, and meaningful engagement. With the right support, a full and connected life at home is still absolutely possible.

Full Bloom’s 7-day-a-week Live-In Care is provided by a consistent two-person team who rotate the schedule. One Memory Care Partner is in the home at a time, offering stability and a familiar presence throughout the day.

This rotating model ensures continuity, familiarity, and relationship-based care—without multiple caregivers coming and going—helping your loved one stay safe, comfortable, and connected while maintaining the rhythm and joy of everyday life.

Two caregivers. One continuous circle of care.

Instead of a stream of rotating caregivers coming and going in 8-hour shifts, our Live-In model is built around one consistent two-person team. Each caregiver alternates multi-day stays (typically 3–4 days at a time), creating a predictable rhythm of support.

This structure offers something rare in home care:

Familiarity and trust. The same two caregivers return week after week, building deep rapport and understanding your loved one’s routines, preferences, and communication style.
Continuity and calm. Fewer transitions mean less confusion and more stability—especially vital for individuals living with dementia, who thrive with predictable rhythms and familiar faces.
Privacy and peace. Because only two caregivers share the week, the home remains your home rather than a space filled with constant staff turnover. It feels like life, not a workplace.

A life structured for safety, comfort, and joy.

Live-In Care is ideal for individuals who:

Require hands-on support throughout the day for personal care, meals, and daily routines
Live with advanced dementia or mobility limitations and benefit from continuous familiarity
May experience confusion, anxiety, or wandering and need gentle reassurance nearby
Prefer to age in place in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by what feels familiar and meaningful

With two consistent caregivers sharing the week, your loved one can experience true continuity—where every day feels calm, predictable, and personal. Full Bloom’s Live-In Care nurtures safety, dignity, and connection, while making space for the simple pleasures and purposeful activities that bring joy to each day.

What is live-in dementia care?

Live-in dementia care provides 24-hour presence in the home, typically through the help of two consistent caregivers who split the week and stay 3-4 days at a time. It supports safety, routines, and calmer daily life with fewer transitions.

How is live-in care different from 24-hour hourly care?

24-hour hourly care usually involves multiple caregivers rotating through shifts. Live-in care limits caregiver turnover, creating more familiarity, less confusion, and a steadier routine—often ideal for dementia.

Who is a good candidate for live-in care?

Live-in care is a fit when someone needs hands-on help throughout the day and reassurance overnight, especially with advanced dementia, mobility limitations, anxiety, or wandering risk.

Does a live-in caregiver stay awake overnight?

Live-in caregivers are present overnight and available if needed, with appropriate rest periods based on Illinois guidelines. If someone needs frequent overnight hands-on care, we’ll recommend the safest coverage model.

Is live-in care more affordable than 24-hour care?

Often, yes. Live-in care can cost less than 24-hour hourly care while offering more continuity—depending on individual needs and care plan.
