Emergency Live In Care in Pasadena: How to Start
If you need emergency live in care for a parent, spouse or other loved one in Pasadena, the fastest first step is to call (626) 678-8826. Right at Home care managers can be reached 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
The first step is a free assessment, and someone from the team visits the home. That visit is where we work out whether live-in care, 24-hour shift care or fewer hours is the right fit.
How to ask for help: call or send the form
Call (626) 678-8826 if the situation is urgent. You will be asked about the care you want, and the team will explain what can be arranged. Since care managers answer around the clock, you do not have to wait for office hours.
If it is less urgent, send the free consultation request on this page and the office will get back to you.
Please keep medical details for the phone call or the home visit rather than typing them into the form. You can then share them with the people who will plan the care.
Live in caregiver needed? Live-in or 24-hour shifts
Families often say "live in caregiver needed" when what they want is someone there through the night. There are two different setups, and the call helps you choose.
- Live-in careA caregiver stays in the home and provides care at set times. Sleep and rest are part of the plan. The company's standard calls for a bedroom and bathroom for the caregiver and an environment where 8 hours of sleep in a row is possible. It suits someone who mostly sleeps at night and needs help during the day.
- 24-hour shift careSeveral caregivers take turns to cover the day and night. If your loved one needs help through the night, for example with wandering or repeated bathroom assistance, overnight shifts can be arranged on that basis.
Live-in care is not one person working around the clock without a break. For a side-by-side look, read live-in vs. 24-hour care or see the shift and schedule options.
What happens after you call
Right at Home uses a five-step process:
- Care profile and home visitWe ask about your wishes, then visit the home to assess basic needs and the home environment. You can ask questions during the visit.
- Care planThe plan reflects your loved one's history, routines and preferences. We go through it with you in detail and change it as you see fit.
- Caregiver matchWe consider interests, personality and the services needed. Every caregiver goes through background and reference checks, and caregivers are bonded and covered by liability insurance.
- Care and ongoing supportThe care starts, and the plan is adjusted if things change.
If a caregiver is not the right fit, one phone call gets you a different match. You can read more about our caregivers.
What to have ready for the call
You do not need paperwork to call. These details help the conversation move faster:
- Who needs care, and where they live
- The hours or nights when help is needed most
- Whether overnight help means someone sleeping in the home or staying awake
- Whether the home has a separate bedroom and bathroom a live-in caregiver could use
- A good time and number for the home visit
- Your preferred language
