Minimum Hours in Elder Care

When it comes to providing reliable and reputable in-home care for seniors, many organizations have minimum hour requirements that must be met. This isn’t just a tactic designed to increase their profits, but is instead grounded in the best practices of the industry and is seen as an essential part of providing quality care to each client. 

One such requirement is a minimum number of hours per week; this ensures that caregivers have set schedules they can rely on and fill in any potential gaps with other clients when a particular client’s needs are less than 24 hours per week. This also helps ensure continuity of care as the same caregiver will remain responsible for covering those shifts as often as possible. 

Another requirement is minimum hours per shift to make sure it’s worth the travel and effort for the caregiver. Additionally, having consistent hours makes it easier for us to hire dependable caregivers who can work within the same schedule from day to day, minimizing any context switching between different clients each day.
