It is an emotionally and financially draining experience to see your parents suffering from a terminal disease. This leaves many families to decide about their treatment plan and decide whether they should become a full time caregiver, hire one or place their parents into a facility. Studies show that a majority of seniors prefer to stay in their homes until the end, as it provides more comfort and security. With live-in care, seniors can get cost-effective and individualized care within the comfort of their own homes.
Live-in homecare refers to a type of care where the caregiver lives within the patient’s home, providing constant support and assistance. This type of care is suggested for patients with chronic diseases, mobility issues and cognitive impairments.These caretakers not only help with Activities of Daily Living (ADL), but also provide emotional support that brings a sense of warmth into their lives.
Our trained professionals offer a range of services tailored to the unique needs of each patient, including:
In general, live-in caregiver ensures that the patients have:
Live-in care and 24-hour care are often understood as being the same, however there are significant differences among them. Traditionally, live-in care includes a single caregiver, who stays and sleeps in the patient’s home. On the other hand, 24-hour care usually requires the help of more than one person who does not live within the patient’s home. It is most appropriate for serious cases such as dementia or paralysis.
In other words, live-in home care provides medication management, daily living assistance and also cost-effective as compared to institutional care. It ensures that family members have some peace of mind and that the burden is off them. This creates the opportunity for people to grow old at home with ease, where they feel most comfortable.

How do you select caregivers to join the Ezra Home Care team?
Our caregivers undergo a rigorous screening process including a criminal background investigation, certification or licensing verification (in applicable positions), and a thorough reference check. The caregivers that we select are all people that we would want to take care of our own loved ones.
How do I know that I or my loved one will be assigned a caregiver that is a good fit?
First we will conduct a free Safety and Needs Assessment of your loved one or of your current situation. The Safety and Needs Assessment will allow us to customize a care schedule and determine the type of caregiver your loved one or you may need. Then we will give you and your family the chance to meet with several caregivers that match your needs and schedule.
What if the caregiver I am assigned is not a good match for me?
If you find, for any reason, that you would prefer to try another caregiver we will find a replacement for you.
What if I only need help for an hour or two?
No problem. At Ezra Home Care, we have no minimum hour requirements.
If I already live in an assisted living community, can I still use your services?
Absolutely. Many of our clients need more care than an assisted living community can provide but do not want to live in a nursing home. As long as your community approves, we can supplement your care services so that you can remain as independent as possible.
What if I’ve already moved into a nursing home, but still want services that Ezra Home Care offers?
We are happy to assist you no matter where you live. If you find that you’d like a companion to talk to, an escort to an appointment or any type of assistance beyond your nursing home’s services, we are there for you.
Ezra Home Care is a “private pay” service. What does that mean?
Private pay means that services are paid for using personal income or assets—without aid from insurance or government benefits. We would be happy to discuss pricing details with you directly.
Are there any other ways to pay for private home care services?
Yes, there are other available options:Why choose Ezra Home Care over a franchise?
Ezra Home Care is large enough to handle all of your home care needs, yet small enough to give you the personalized service and care you deserve.
