24 Hour Care

What is 24 Hour Care?

24 Hour care or Live-in care involves a dedicated care team supporting your loved one continuously, day and night. Choosing 24 Hour or Live-in care allows your loved one to stay in the comfort of their familiar environment instead of moving to a care home.

This can include:

Daytime personal care and companionship
Overnight waking or sleeping support
Medication management
Assistance with mobility and transfers
Meal preparation and hydration support
Support with complex or specialist care needs
Reassurance and monitoring for safety

At Oikos Home Care, we deliver 24 Hour or Live-in care, tailored to your needs and preferences, through rotating carers or a live-in setup.

Who is 24 Hour Care Suitable For?

Remaining at home often provides greater emotional comfort and continuity of routine, which can significantly improve well-being. Our round-the-clock care is ideal for individuals who:

Are living with dementia or Alzheimer’s
Have complex medical conditions
Are at risk of falls
Need support following hospital discharge
Require palliative or end-of-life care
Experience anxiety or confusion during the night
Wish to avoid moving into a residential care home
Our goal is straightforward: to ensure your loved one feels secure, reassured, and well cared for in familiar surroundings.

The Benefits of 24 Hour Care at Home

1

Comfort of Familiar Surroundings

There’s no place like home. Staying in a familiar environment reduces stress and confusion.

2

Personalised One-to-One Support

Unlike residential settings, care is fully tailored to the individual’s needs, preferences and daily routines.

3

Continuity of Care

We carefully match carers to clients to build trust and meaningful relationships.

4

Peace of Mind for Families

Knowing someone is always there provides reassurance, especially overnight.

5

Maintaining Independence

We promote independence wherever possible, supporting rather than replacing daily living skills.

Overnight Care Options

We offer two types of night-time support:

Sleeping Night Care

A carer stays overnight and is available if needed.

Waking Night Care

A carer remains awake and alert throughout the night for individuals requiring frequent assistance or monitoring.

We will advise you on the most appropriate option during your assessment.
