Sunlight Care - The Live-in Specialists

Live-in home care has become the preferred long term care solution for most seniors who need more than just a couple hours of support. They can remain comfortably in their own homes, maintaining a high level of independence and retain their dignity and quality of life. Its simpler and safer then adult day care solutions since there is no need for transport every morning and evening. It's cheaper than assisted living facilities and live-in aides provide for the maximum quality care since it is one-on-one care. Let's look at these advantages in detail.

Constant Care

With a Sunlight Care live-in aide the caregiver is always there, providing constant care seven days a week, with no disruption to the client's routine. Because of the continuity of care provided, your loved one can develop a trusting relationship with his or her caregiver and likewise our caregiver will also get to know your loved one, including his or her daily activities and preferences, and thus develop a unique relationship with them. Whenever the caregiver needs time off, Sunlight Care will provide an equally qualified and experienced substitute to ensure uninterrupted care. The care provider is fully in charge of your loved one's wellbeing, safety, and personal hygiene.

The Most Cost-Effective Service

Whether you are paying for live-in care out-of-pocket or you have a long term care insurance policy, the Sunlight Care live-in program is the most cost-effective program in the industry. It provides around-the-clock-care while costing less than half the hourly rate of providing care 24/7, and substantially less expensive than institutionalized care.

Stay at Home

Many times seniors who are getting along marginally in their own home show a substantial decline in ability once they are moved into an institution. They know where everything is in their home and how everything works. Cognitive degeneration is often missed or under estimate by family members because seniors stay functional beyond their ability when in familiar surroundings. Once removed from those surroundings the senior may experience increased frustration and reduced self-esteem as they are confronted with increased confusion. Staying at home through the use of a live-in caregiver simply means your loved one can stay comfortable and feel safer.

Family Peace of Mind

Not only will your loved one be more comfortable but so will you. Family members get to finally relax knowing that their loved one has a reliable, qualified, and caring aide always there ready to serve. Sunlight Care staff members are on-call 24/7 (available directly to our clients and not through an answering service) to assist with any emergency that may arise for their loved ones.

How Does it Work

The live-in caregiver should be provided with their own room or some other private sleeping accommodations. The client will provide food and toiletries for the caregiver. The client should try to make the aide as comfortable and welcome as possible. We suggest providing a separate television and radio for use while the client sleeps. Groceries can be provided by family members or through local grocery store delivery services. Sunlight Care will also provide discounted support for local shopping trips and doctor visits.

Why Sunlight Care

Sunlight Care has developed an extensive pool of live-in care providers and a program for transporting them to and from their assignments. Live-in caregivers generally come from other countries specifically selected for their superior caregiving culture. Sunlight Care has developed special relations with these countries through ambassadors which carefully interview/select the highest quality people for this position. The caregivers obtain permanent work status in the United States; they are thoroughly interviewed for the appropriated work history of family care, ability to speak and understand English and their backgrounds are checked. To become a Certified Home Health aide they must complete a thorough 76 hour training course and pass both a written exam and skills test. The training course must be provided by a NJ Board of Nursing approved training facility. Sunlight Care is one of the few Home Health Care companies approved to teach the Certified Home Health Aide course.
