24-hour home care offers a compassionate alternative for those with ongoing or complex medical needs, providing professional, round-the-clock support in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
From morning personal care routines to night time assistance and safety support, a dedicated live-in carer from Patricia White’s is always there to help, ensuring peace of mind, dignity and a better quality of life.
What is 24-Hour Home Care?
24-hour home care provides you or your loved one with round-the-clock support from a professional carer, all from the comfort of home. 24-hour home care allows you to continue living safely in familiar surroundings and comfort, even with ongoing health conditions.
24-hour care usually requires two live-in carers who exchange shifts. This means that you’ll be supported by one carer at all times, providing you with a comprehensive level of care both day and night. One carer will take the day shift while the other handles nights, ensuring both have sufficient time to rest between shifts.
The day shift carer will often live in the home with you, while the evening carer will visit each night. 24-hour care provides security and peace of mind, for all the family.
Is 24-Hour Care the Same as Live-In Care?
While similar, 24-hour care is not the same as live-in care. The latter usually only utilises one carer, who will sleep in your home at the same time you sleep. They will be available throughout the night for occasional assistance, but this might not be enough for people who need complex requirements both day and night.
24-hour home care ensures that you have a well-rested, compassionate carer ready to help you at all times. There will always be a carer on hand to provide bespoke support to improve quality of life.

Benefits of 24 Hour Home Care with Patricia White’s
There are several meaningful benefits to receiving 24-hour home care from Patricia White’s, including:
Having the support of two carers looking after you round-the-clock can be a huge relief for you and your loved ones. One carer will be on hand whenever you need them, pre-empting dangers and preventing risks before they occur.
Studies have shown that people living with complex conditions can recover more quickly when surrounded by beloved belongings and happy memories. Even for conditions without a cure, home care can boost emotional and mental health, supporting symptom improvement and making them easier to manage.
Patricia White’s focus is on person-centred care, which emphasises the importance of considering a person’s individual case and symptoms rather than the average nature of their condition. This ensures your needs are met to the highest standard through a fully personalised care plan.
24-hour care ensures you always have a professional carer to support you should you need them. No matter whether that’s day or night, there’s no waiting around for help. This is especially helpful for conditions that cause sleep disturbances.
While care costs vary greatly depending on a number of factors, 24-hour home care often costs the same as residential care with the added benefit of personalised one-on-one support.
As needs change and symptoms progress, so does the care you receive. Home carers often have more time to dedicate to their service as they have fewer clients to care for. This means they notice subtle differences in your mood and movements, allowing you to benefit from continuous, practical care.
With home care, you don’t need to worry about disrupting your current routines or leaving your familiar home comforts behind. Instead of moving into a residential or nursing home, remain in your hometown surrounded by neighbours, pets and loved ones.
Chronic conditions can be debilitating and isolating, especially for older adults who live alone. 24-hour home care ensures that you always have someone to talk to about your worries and concerns. At Patricia White’s, we’re always here to lend a listening ear to those who need it.
