A live-in caregiver resides in the client’s home and provides consistent assistance with daily functions. They are trained to take on tasks like bathing, eating & toileting so that your loved one can have a more comfortable life.
A live-in caretaker will reside at your loved one’s house for 24-hours every day of the week and be there when they need help performing their basic Activities of Daily Living or if they show any signs of distress. This is especially helpful because a live-in caregiver and the senior have a more personal bond. The caregiver knows the daily routine and is a consistent presence in the home.
At Beacon Eldercare, our Live-In Home Care services support the many details of everyday living:
Seniors that opt for live-in caregivers benefit from the presence of someone with them day and night. This decision is perfect for those who want to remain in their own homes, as they enjoy having a caregiver around all day long. Live-In Caregivers get along well because there are no odd schedules or work hours – it’s just constant companionship!
We love to provide guidance and inspiration, but sometimes it’s our clients that inspire us with their words of affirmation. Read our testimonials.
We are ready to help you understand the medical services that are available and how to get you started receiving the health care assistance you need.
When it comes to choosing in-home care for an elderly person, there are many options. Live-in and 24-hour caregivers may seem like the same terminology, but they vary in how much time is spent with the senior, depending on their care needs. Understanding these differences will help determine what type of live-in or hourly home care would be best suited for each individual’s circumstance.
24-Hour Home Care (Hourly Home Care)
Live-In Home Care
Live-In Care is often less expensive than hourly home care.
According to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Study, the average national median cost for companion care (classified as homemaker services) was $54,912 ANNUALLY for a home health aide and $53,768 for a homemaker. The hourly rate for a home health aide ranged from $17.00 in Louisiana to $33.00 in Minnesota. The median cost for an hourly caregiver is $24.00 per hour.
Genworth calculates average median rates based on 44 hours per week. If your loved one only requires the help of a companion for a few hours per day or week, your costs may be significantly lower than these estimates.
For a clearer picture of your potential costs, determine your loved one’s needs and contact Beacon Eldercare to inquire about companion care providers and average costs in your area.
We are ready to help you understand the medical services that are available and how to get you started receiving the health care assistance you need.
If your family member needs only assistance with homemaker or personal services, or companion care, Medicare will not cover the cost. Ask us about Medicaid benefits that may cover some or all of the cost of care.

“By helping our clients understand the difference between Medicare and Medicaid, Beacon Eldercare helps to choose the right plan for you,” says CEO, Yvonne M. Murphy MA, MSW.
Medicare is something that you’ve worked towards for years, but it’s only a limited health care service. Medicare doesn’t pay for chronic illness; it only pays for hospital stays. Medicare pays for short clinical events in the home providing limited home care after a hospital or rehabilitation stay. Furthermore, it doesn’t pay for long-term home care services or skilled nursing facilities, two expensive forays that can drain a bank account or force someone to have to move.
The Medicaid application is an exhaustive process and must align with the policies and regulations of the New York State Department of Social Services.
Beacon Eldercare Inc., led by Yvonne Murphy MA, has more than two decades of experience assisting clients in NYC to successfully achieve Medicaid eligibility.
By having Medicaid, you are able to have assistance with your health insurance, home care services and help in finding the best nursing home to take care of you.
Call us to set yourself up to receive the medical services that you need without having to worry about losing everything that you worked so hard to obtain.
We service residents in any of the five boroughs of New York City; Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Manhattan, and the Bronx. We have been extremely successful in filing applications in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Westchester County, Dutchess County, Rockland, and Orange County as well.
