About this service

24-hour home care is continuous, around-the-clock support in the place your loved one already knows and loves — their own home. It's built for older adults across Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, and El Dorado counties who need eyes on them at all times: someone to help with mornings and evenings, someone awake overnight, someone who can respond right away if anything changes.

Guiding Souls Home Care staffs 24-hour care with rotating shifts so a caregiver is always alert and present. Our team handles personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility and transfer support, light housekeeping, and quiet companionship — during the day, overnight, weekends, and holidays. Care is coordinated with your family, your doctor's office, and any hospice or home-health team already involved.

Why it matters

Risks without 24-hour home care

Falls and nighttime accidents

Without a caregiver present overnight, older adults face a higher risk of falls, injuries, and long waits for help — especially on trips to the bathroom.

Missed medication reminders

Skipped or mistimed doses can quietly undo weeks of progress. A present caregiver keeps reminders consistent day and night.

Poor nutrition and hydration

Seniors who can't shop or cook safely often eat too little or the wrong things. Around-the-clock support keeps meals, snacks, and fluids on track.

Isolation and confusion at night

Long stretches alone — especially with memory loss — bring anxiety, sundowning, and unsafe wandering. A calm, familiar person nearby settles the whole household.

Who this is for

  • Seniors with fall risk or mobility challenges
  • Recent hospital or rehab discharges
  • Advanced dementia or Alzheimer's needing constant supervision
  • Families who can no longer be there overnight

FAQ

24-hour care uses multiple caregivers in rotating shifts so someone is always awake and alert. Live-in care uses fewer caregivers with a designated sleeping period. We help families choose the right fit during the free in-home assessment.
