24-Hour Care
Someone there around the clock, so you can sleep
There is a moment when a few hours a day stops being enough. A fall at night. A spouse who cannot lift anymore. A discharge planner who says, plainly, that someone needs to be there.
Quick answer
A Precious Elder offers 24-hour home care throughout the South Bay: caregivers rotate in shifts so one is always awake, staffed by a small fixed team and priced per case.
We cover it with 24-hour shift care: two or three caregivers rotate through the day, and the overnight caregiver is awake. We put the schedule and the weekly cost in writing before you commit to anything.
What's included
- All personal care, meals, housekeeping and companionship
- An awake, attentive caregiver overnight
- A small fixed team, so faces stay familiar
- Hospital discharge coordination and transitional care
- Hospice and end-of-life support alongside the hospice team
- Backup coverage for call-offs, arranged by the office
- Daily notes and regular check-ins with the family
Who this is for
- Late-stage dementia or high fall risk
- Coming home after a hospital or rehab stay
- End-of-life care at home
- A spouse caregiver who needs to rest and stay healthy

24-Hour Care questions
Do you offer live-in care?
No. Our 24-hour care uses two or three caregivers in shifts, and the night caregiver is awake all night, so someone is always alert when your parent needs help.
How much does 24-hour home care cost in the South Bay?
Shift care is billed hourly. The weekly cost of 24-hour care depends on how shifts are structured, because California overtime rules apply to caregivers. We put the exact number in writing after the assessment.
What happens if a caregiver calls in sick?
Our office covers it. We arrange another caregiver, and our field supervisor can step in personally.
