How Much Does 24‑Hour Home Care Cost in Allston?

Worried about the price of 24/7 help at home? You’re not alone. In Greater Allston–Brighton, most families budget $40–$50 per hour for 24-hour home care. We keep it simple: no weekly minimums, flexible scheduling, and dementia-trained caregivers available around the clock—so your loved one can have their best day, every day.

How 24-hour shift care works: Two to three caregivers rotate awake shifts to provide continuous support—safe transfers, personal care, meal prep, and calm overnight supervision. If your loved one sleeps soundly and needs a consistent daytime routine, compare this option with Live-In Care to see which fit is best.

Quick cost math (example): 24 hours × $40/hr ≈ $960 per day. For a tailored quote, see how our pricing works or request your custom plan.

Ways to manage your budget:

  • Blend services: pair hourly Personal Care with daytime companionship to cover the highest-risk hours.
  • Use respite for family relief: tap Respite Care during caregiver travel or recovery weeks.
  • Check benefits: Veterans may qualify for Aid & Attendance; Medicare generally doesn’t cover long-term custodial care—see Medicare’s long‑term care guidance.

Day-in-the-life, right here in Allston: Morning help with a warm breakfast and medication reminders, a steady arm on walks to the mailbox, an afternoon game of cards at the Veronica B. Smith Senior Center, and peaceful overnight supervision so everyone rests.

Why families choose us: award-winning care (Best of Home Care Provider), perfect-fit caregiver matching, and 24/7 reliability. Explore specialized support like Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care when memory changes are part of the picture.
