For our local clients, a typical 24/7 care schedule might use two 12-hour care periods or three 8-hour care periods to provide continuous support throughout the day and night.

Home Instead Warwick places particular emphasis on continuity. Information is passed from one Care Pro to the next, and the Care Pro providing care waits for the next scheduled person to arrive before leaving. This helps prevent gaps in support for someone who shouldn’t be left alone.

Reliability is understandably one of the biggest concerns families have when arranging around-the-clock care.

Our 24-hour care process is structured around continuous coverage. A Care Pro must wait until the next scheduled team member arrives before leaving the client, while our local team coordinates staffing when changes occur.

Information is passed from one Care Pro to the next so the incoming team member understands what has happened and what the client may need.

That handoff is particularly important when a Warwick client receives continuous support through two 12-hour or three 8-hour care periods. The Care Pro currently providing support also remains with the client until the next scheduled Care Pro arrives.

Our office can typically begin care within 24 hours, although arranging a full around-the-clock schedule also depends on the client’s needs and staffing.

Our team will learn what support is required and coordinate Care Pros around the customized care plan.

Cost depends on the client’s needs and how continuous care is scheduled. Because 24-hour support may involve two 12-hour or three 8-hour care periods each day, it differs significantly from occasional home care visits.

We’ll review the appropriate schedule with your family. You can also visit our Cost of Care resource for additional information.
