Markham, ON also provides live-in care.
Live-in care is a different model from our shift-based 24-hour care. Rather than Care Pros changing over every 8 to 12 hours, one Care Pro stays in the home during their working days, with a second alternating in, so someone rested and attentive is always there. Many families consider hiring a private live-in caregiver for round-the-clock help — here's what you get with us instead:
- No employer headaches – we handle scheduling, payroll, and taxes, so you're not managing a household employee.
- A backup plan built in – if a Care Pro is ever unavailable, we cover the gap, so there's no scrambling to find a replacement.
- Nurse oversight throughout – a nurse guides the care plan, conducts regular quality assurance visits, and stays involved as needs change.
- A cost-effective long-term option – often comparable in price to moving to an assisted living facility, and the individual gets to stay in their own home.

24-hour home care FAQs
With 24-Hour Home Care, a team of Care Pros works in rotating shifts to provide continuous support. With live-in care, a Care Pro stays in the home during their working days — at Home Instead Markham, two Care Pros alternate so care stays consistent around the clock. Both provide 24/7 coverage. 24-hour care is often the right fit for shorter-term or intensive overnight needs, while live-in tends to suit longer-term, continuous care. We'll help you decide which model fits your family's needs and budget.
