Live-in care involves a caregiver residing in the client's home, providing assistance as needed throughout the day and night, typically with breaks for rest and personal time. In contrast, 24-hour care involves round-the-clock careby a team of caregivers working in shifts to ensure continual care without interruption. Live-in care is suitable for individuals requiring moderate assistance, 24-hour care offers constant monitoring and immediate assistance for those with more complex needs and frequent attention. At Care Mountain, we provide both live-in and 24-hour care options, tailored to the specific needs of our clients.

Dementia patients often fare better at home due to inherent support system and familiarity with surroundings. They remain familiar with details such as the floor plan, furniture, and bedrooms, which can provide a sense of comfort and security. Care provided in the familiar environment of home often promotes a higher quality of life and greater independence for dementia patients. At Care Mountain, we understand the importance of maintaining a familiar environment for individuals with dementia, and we provide specialized services. Read more at in our blog’s Dementia section
