What this means for your family
24-hour home care in Ontario is continuous, round-the-clock caregiver support in the client's own home. Unlike live-in care where one caregiver sleeps during off-hours, 24-hour care uses shift-based scheduling so a caregiver is awake and alert at all times - day and night. Aviora Healthcare provides 24-hour care across 120+ Ontario communities with a consistent team of 2–3 caregivers, no referral required, and care starting within 24–48 hours.
Families reach out for 24-hour care when part-time support is no longer enough. The gaps between caregiver shifts have become dangerous. Falls happen in the bathroom at 2 a.m. Meals are missed. Medications are skipped during unsupervised hours. The family caregiver is running on fumes trying to cover the remaining hours themselves.
Aviora's 24-hour model eliminates those gaps. A small team shares the same care plan, follows the same routines, and your family member knows every person who enters the home. Shift handoffs are structured so nothing falls through the cracks. This is the level of care that allows many families to avoid or delay long-term care placement.
How it works
A care coordinator evaluates the full 24-hour picture - daytime routine, nighttime needs, supervision level, mobility, cognitive status, and what gaps currently exist. We determine the right shift structure for your situation.
A single care plan covering all shifts - morning routine, daytime activities, meal schedule, medication timing, evening wind-down, nighttime toileting, and handoff protocols between caregivers.
A consistent team of 2–3 caregivers matched to your family member's needs. Every team member is briefed on the same care plan before their first shift. Your parent knows every face.
Care starts within 24–48 hours. Your family receives daily reports covering all shifts - sleep quality, meals, mood, mobility, medications, and any incidents. Full transparency, always.
What’s included
24-hour care covers every need across the full day and night - delivered by a small, consistent team who follow the same care plan.
Bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting assistance morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Delivered by caregivers who know the routine - not shift workers meeting the client for the first time.
Awake overnight caregiver for toileting, wandering, fall prevention, repositioning, and nighttime agitation. No sleeping on duty - someone is alert and responsive all night.
Three meals and snacks prepared to dietary needs and preferences. Consistent timing throughout the day to maintain routine and energy levels.
Timed medication reminders for every dose across all shifts. Day and night caregivers follow the same schedule and document every administration.
Supervised movement throughout the home at all hours. Transfers, bathroom trips, and hallway walking handled by a caregiver who knows the client's balance and limitations.
Every shift change includes a documented handoff - what happened, what to watch for, any changes in condition. Nothing falls between the cracks when shifts rotate.
Is this right for your family?
24-hour care is for families where part-time support is no longer safe. If your parent cannot be left alone for any period - day or night - this is the service that fills every hour.

24-hour care demands the highest standard. Every caregiver on your team is vetted and matched before their first shift.
All caregivers complete criminal record and vulnerable sector screening before their first placement with any client.
References and work history are verified for every candidate. Not every applicant becomes an Aviora caregiver.
PSW certificates from Ontario college-recognized programs are confirmed before placement.
Your 2–3 person team is selected based on experience, schedule compatibility, and your family member's needs and preferences.

Straight answers
24-hour home care means a trained caregiver is in your family member's home around the clock - typically split into two or three shifts covering day and night. Aviora uses a small, consistent team so your parent sees the same 2–3 caregivers rather than a rotating roster. Each shift follows the same structured care plan. No referral required - call (437) 446-7752.
Not exactly. Live-in care means one caregiver stays in the home and sleeps during off-hours. 24-hour care means caregivers work in shifts so someone is awake and alert at all times - no sleeping on duty. For clients who need active overnight supervision (wandering, frequent toileting, dementia), 24-hour shift care is safer and more effective.
In most Ontario communities, Aviora can start 24-hour care within 24–48 hours. A care coordinator builds the schedule, matches the caregiver team, and confirms shift handoff protocols during a single consultation. Book a free consultation.
Aviora limits 24-hour care to a small, consistent team - typically 2–3 caregivers covering day and night shifts. All team members are briefed on the same care plan and follow the same routines. Your parent knows every person who enters the home.
In many cases, yes. 24-hour care provides the level of supervision and support that families often assume only a long-term care facility can offer. Whether staying home is right depends on safety, medical needs, and the home environment. We assess that honestly during the consultation.
Related services
If your parent only needs support at night - not around the clock - overnight care may be a better fit. It can also serve as a stepping stone before transitioning to 24-hour coverage.
If advanced dementia is the reason for 24-hour need, dementia-specific protocols add structured routines, behavioural support, and communication strategies to the 24-hour care plan.
If 24-hour coverage is more than what's needed, scheduled personal support visits may provide enough assistance while keeping costs manageable.
No sales pitch. A real conversation about what level of care your parent needs and whether 24-hour support is the right fit.
