Live-in and overnight caregivers for seniors who need continuous support. Professional, consistent care — so your loved one is never alone, and neither are you.
24-hour home care means that a professional caregiver is present in the home at all hours — covering the morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight. It is the highest level of in-home support available, designed for seniors whose needs go beyond what can be met with scheduled daily visits.
For many Calgary families, 24-hour home care is the bridge between managing at home and moving to a care facility. With the right support, many seniors can remain in their own homes indefinitely — even with advanced conditions.
24-hour home care in Calgary is typically required when:
CDHCI (Client Directed Home Care Invoicing) funds daytime and evening personal care hours through Alberta Blue Cross at $0 to the family. Overnight hours are assessable for clients with documented overnight care needs — an AHS caseworker determines eligibility based on the assessment.
Additional hours beyond what AHS funds can be arranged as a private-pay service. Sagewell will help you understand your funding options and build a plan that maximizes your CDHCI hours. Learn more about CDHCI funding in Calgary.

A caregiver sleeps in the home and responds to overnight needs — toileting, wandering redirection, falls, anxiety. Best for seniors who are mostly safe during the day but need nighttime supervision.
A caregiver lives in your home and is on-call most hours. They have designated rest/sleep time. Best balance of continuity, relationship-building, and cost. Works well for moderate-to-high-needs seniors.
Two to three caregivers rotate shifts so someone is always fully alert. Best for highest-needs situations: active wandering, complex medical monitoring, or palliative care requiring continuous attention.
For live-in care, we match a caregiver to your family — not just the schedule. The right fit matters enormously when someone is living in your home.
We have caregivers who speak Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, and English — critical for South Asian seniors who may revert to their first language, especially with dementia.
Our caregivers are trained to handle the complex nighttime behaviours of dementia — wandering, sundowning, confusion — with patience and skill.
We help families understand their CDHCI allocation and design care plans that maximize funded hours before using private-pay for any additional coverage.
