A familiar person in the house, every day

Live-in companion care in Atlanta

A CrossleyCare live-in companion lives in your loved one's guest quarters and works a set 8-hour day. One caregiver, for years, so your loved one is never living with a stranger.

What it is

Live-in companion care is for an older adult who is mostly independent but would be happier and safer with a steady person in the home. The caregiver lives in private guest quarters, works a set 8-hour day on a schedule agreed in writing, and becomes part of the rhythm of the house.

What the caregiver helps with

Companionship, conversation, and simply being there
Getting up, dressed, and ready for the day
Preparing meals and keeping the kitchen tidy
Laundry and light tidying of your loved one's own living space
Keeping up with routines, hobbies, and appointments

Exact duties are agreed in writing before care begins.

What your home needs

Private guest quarters: a guest suite, apartment, or guest house, or a spare bedroom with its own bathroom
Respect for the caregiver's off-duty hours, even though they live on site
A plan for the caregiver's vacation and sick days, which the family arranges

What it isn't

Not 24-hour care. Outside the set 8-hour day, the caregiver is off duty.
Not medical or nursing care
Not short-term. We work with families for years.
No substitute caregivers. We do not send backup cover.

Is it right for you?

Live-in care tends to suit families when

Your loved one lives in a larger home, often alone, and has room for private guest quarters
They are mostly independent, and a little lonely
You want one person who truly knows them, not a schedule of different faces
You can comfortably afford full-time private care for years
