Is 24-Hour Home Care Right for Your Loved One?

When your aging parent or loved one needs more than a few hours of help each day, it can feel overwhelming. Maybe they wander at night, need help getting to the bathroom safely, or struggle with medications and mobility. In these moments, 24-hour home care may be the best solution for their safety—and your peace of mind.

At Xtrakare, we offer compassionate, around-the-clock home care services throughout Omaha and surrounding areas, ensuring that no one faces aging or illness alone.

What Is 24-Hour Home Care?

24-hour home care means that a professional caregiver is always present in the home—day and night. This is not live-in care where a caregiver sleeps at night. Instead, care is active and continuous, often delivered in shifts to ensure alertness and safety 24/7.

Services typically include:

  • Overnight monitoring and support

  • Bathing, toileting, and hygiene assistance

  • Fall prevention and mobility help

  • Medication reminders

  • Companionship and emotional support

  • Emergency response if something goes wrong

Signs Your Loved One May Need 24-Hour Care

If any of the following sound familiar, it may be time to consider 24-hour care:

  • Frequent falls or fear of falling

  • Wandering due to dementia or Alzheimer’s

  • Trouble with toileting, especially at night

  • Medication mismanagement

  • Sundowning or agitation in the evening

  • You, the caregiver, are burned out or sleep-deprived

Aging should never mean being left alone in times of vulnerability. That’s why Xtrakare caregivers provide not just support—but reassurance.

Real Story: From Exhaustion to Relief

After caring for his father with late-stage Alzheimer’s for months, Darren in West Omaha hit a breaking point. “I was sleeping 3 hours a night and scared he’d fall while I was asleep,” he recalls. After Xtrakare stepped in with 24-hour care, Darren was finally able to rest—knowing his dad was safe and well cared for. “It saved my sanity and gave my dad the attention he deserved.”

Understanding the Costs

Many families assume 24-hour care is out of reach. But with Medicaid waivers, long-term care insurance, or part-time private pay, it’s more accessible than you might think. We offer flexible pricing and consultations to help you plan ahead without pressure.
