Stay-Over service is cost-effective health care for clients who need minimal assistance during night hours (10:00 p.m. - 6:00 am). The attending caregiver is permitted to rest during the night hours in exchange for a significantly reduced hourly service fee. Throughout the night, the caregiver is available for routine monitoring and to respond to client requests. Stay-Over service promotes client comfort and safety during the night hours when client care needs are sometimes minimal. Also, it is an effective, economical way to handle unexpected care needs that may arise during night hours.
Stay-Over services can be arranged to meet routine care or complex care needs in the privacy and comfort of the home, or at other locations such as a hotel.
Stay-Over services are available exclusively for care or treatments requiring four or less brief caregiver interruptions per night. Hourly services are available for care requiring closer supervision.
Clients must be able to call for help when needed. Clients must provide a satisfactory place for the caregiver to rest comfortably.
Stay-Over service is available 7 days a week, between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. A six-hour minimum applies to all Stay-Over service intervals.
