24-hour care gives your loved one support at any time of day or night, with a team of Comfort Keepers caregivers covering the day in shifts. It suits someone who is no longer safe on their own for long, or who needs help through the night as well as the day. Care is non-medical: caregivers help with daily living and medication reminders, and work alongside your medical providers when clinical care is needed. Call (416) 663-2930 to talk through the schedule of support.
When Families Consider 24-Hour Support
Families often think about 24-hour care when a loved one can no longer be safe alone for long stretches, is at risk of falls, or needs help through the night as well as during the day. It can also help through a hard stretch, such as coming home from hospital. If you are weighing whether round-the-clock support is needed, our Toronto team can help you think it through.
How 24-Hour Care Works in Toronto
With 24-hour care, a team of caregivers coordinates the day in shifts, so there is always someone on duty, day and night. Cover can be arranged from a few hours to full-time, and can include overnight support. We build the schedule around your family’s needs and adjust it as they change.
What Caregivers Can Help With
Around the clock, a Comfort Keeper can help with personal care, mobility and transfers, meals, light housekeeping, companionship, and getting to appointments. Caregivers are screened, trained, and matched to your loved one.
Caregivers also provide medication reminders. This is non-medical support: they remind and assist with medication but do not administer it. Where clinical care is needed, we can arrange nursing or work alongside your medical providers.
24-Hour Care vs Live-In and Overnight
These options are easy to mix up:
- 24-hour care: a rotating team of caregivers in shifts, covering the full day and night.
- Live-In Care: one caregiver lives in the home and provides full-time, daily support.
- Overnight care: a caregiver stays through the night to help with getting to bed, night-time needs and the morning.
