Your sister noticed at Thanksgiving dinner that your mother was moving slower, more careful on the stairs of the old house on Maple Street. Two weeks later, she fell at 3 a.m., and you realized you can’t keep driving the forty minutes from work every time she needs help at night. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes real, not theoretical. We’ve been there with Union families in this exact moment.

24-Hour Care means someone trained and trustworthy is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and watching. It’s not a hospital setting. It’s your parent in their own bed, their own routine, with eyes on them at 2 a.m. when a fall is most likely, and at 6 a.m. when medications need to happen, and at 10 p.m. when confusion sometimes sets in.
Day-to-day, families see their parent getting up safely, eating regular meals without you worrying about it, taking medications on time, staying clean and dressed, having someone to talk to during the long afternoon hours. At night, you sleep knowing if something happens, there’s a trained person right there. You stop running on adrenaline. You can actually go to work.
After Johnson Memorial Hospital discharge, Union families often come to us because their parent isn’t ready to be alone, but they are ready to be home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we built this service understanding exactly what hospitals don’t tell you about the first weeks back, and what your parent actually needs to stay safe and stable. We know the staff at Johnson Memorial, their discharge process, and how to pick up where hospital care stops.
Nurse-founded means we’ve lived the middle-of-the-night worry ourselves. We know the sound of that phone call, the feeling of your parent falling and no one there to catch them. That experience shapes how we hire, train, and match caregivers. We’re not guessing at what around-the-clock safety means. We know.
We don’t send someone random. We talk with you about your parent, about what works and what doesn’t, about your family’s rhythm and your parent’s actual personality. Then we find someone who fits, brief them thoroughly, and stay involved so adjustments happen fast when they need to.
Your parent’s health shifts. You’ll have new questions at 9 p.m. on a Friday. You call us, and you get a voice that knows your situation, not a voicemail. We adjust the care plan when we need to, and we keep you informed every step.
We know Union. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, Johnson Memorial’s discharge team, the local doctors and their habits. That local knowledge matters when you need fast, coordinated care that fits your community, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.

Common questions
A trained caregiver stays in your parent's home for the full 24 hours. They help with personal hygiene, dressing, meals, medications, toileting, mobility, and monitoring for any health changes. They're awake and alert during sleeping hours, ready to assist if your parent needs to get up at night. During the day, they handle household tasks related to your parent's care, prepare meals, and provide companionship. You get regular updates on how your parent is doing.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on the caregiver availability and your parent's specific needs. We work closely with Johnson Memorial's discharge planners so the transition is smooth. Before care begins, we do a thorough intake call with you to understand your parent's medical situation, medications, routines, and any concerns. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can have someone in place.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care at this level. We can give you a clear cost breakdown when we talk, and we work with families on what fits their budget. Some families fund 24-Hour Care through long-term care insurance, family resources, or a combination. We're honest about pricing and don't have surprise fees.
Home health aides typically come for a few hours a day, a few times a week, and require a physician's order or medical necessity. 24-Hour Care is continuous, live-in coverage for your parent's entire day and night, with someone awake and present at all times. It's designed for families who need full-time oversight, especially when a parent can't be left alone due to fall risk, medication management, memory changes, or other safety concerns.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent as a person, not just a list of tasks. We ask about their personality, what makes them comfortable, what they need from a caregiver, any preferences or concerns. Then we match with someone whose experience and temperament fit. If the match isn't right after the first few days, we make a change. Your parent deserves someone they're comfortable with around the clock.
We have backup caregivers ready, and we communicate the switch to you and your parent in advance whenever possible. Consistency matters, so we work hard to keep the same person in place, but life happens. When we do make a change, the backup caregiver comes briefed on your parent's routines, medications, preferences, and any recent health updates. You're never left without coverage.
