24-hour care two caregivers are booked daily and work 12 hours each. Sometimes 3 x 8-hour visits are preferred in order to ensure caregivers are at their maximum level of alertness. One caregiver can work a maximum of 4 x 12-hour visits per week. For the other visits, different caregivers will be booked to cover. There is no sleeping break given to a caregiver during a 12-hour visit. However, you can allow the overnight caregiver to sleep if you choose to. 24-hour care is billed at an hourly rate. The overnight visit is billed at a flat rate if it is a sleeping visit and hourly rate if it is a non-sleeping visit.
