When your loved one can no longer be safely left alone, around-the-clock care means someone is always there, awake, attentive, and ready to help. Great Lakes Care Services provides 24-hour in-home care across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties, so your family can rest knowing Mom or Dad is never on their own.
24/7 home care provides continuous, around-the-clock support from professional caregivers who work in rotating shifts. Unlike live-in care, where one caregiver stays in the home with scheduled rest periods, 24/7 care means a fully awake and alert caregiver is on duty at all times, including overnight. When one shift ends, the next caregiver takes over, so there is never a gap in supervision or support.
For families in Metro Detroit, this is often the care option that makes it possible to keep a loved one at home instead of moving them into a nursing home or memory care facility. Your loved one stays in the place they know best, surrounded by their own belongings and routines, with the safety of constant care.

We assemble a small, consistent caregiver team and begin care, often within 24 to 72 hours. Your care coordinator stays involved with ongoing supervision and regular check-ins.
Typically two to three caregivers rotate through scheduled shifts to provide continuous awake coverage. We keep the team small and consistent so your loved one builds familiarity and trust with the people caring for them.
It can be, depending on the situation, but many families find the trade-off worth it because their loved one stays home with one-on-one attention rather than shared staff in a facility. During your consultation, we will give you a clear cost comparison so you can make an informed decision.
With 24/7 care, caregivers work in shifts and stay awake the entire time, including overnight. With live-in care, one caregiver lives in the home and has scheduled sleep periods. If your loved one needs supervision or help during the night, 24/7 care is the safer choice.
In many cases within 24 to 72 hours. For urgent situations, such as a hospital discharge, call us and we will move as fast as safely possible to assemble the care team.
Yes. Some families begin with daytime or overnight-only coverage and expand to full 24/7 care as needs grow. Care plans are flexible and adjust with your situation.
Your dedicated care coordinator oversees the entire care plan, manages the caregiver schedule, and conducts regular check-ins to ensure quality and consistency.
