What Is a Live-In Aide?
A live-in aide provides round the clock nursing care to seniors in their own home. These professionals typically work in shifts of 8-12 hours.
Live-in aides are an invaluable asset to elderly individuals who would otherwise need to leave their homes for assisted living or nursing homes. It’s essential that housing providers have a thorough understanding of this type of care and know how to qualify them appropriately in their communities.
Qualifications
A live-in aide is an individual who lives with a disabled or elderly tenant to provide support. These may be family members, neighbors, friends, healthcare workers who are paid by the tenant and pass a criminal background check.
