When a loved one is hospitalized, having a private caregiver at the bedside when you cannot be there gives them individualized attention, and gives you peace of mind.
When your loved one is in the hospital or in a skilled nursing facility, you want to be at their bedside as much as possible. Whether it is to adjust their pillow, offer a beverage, or call the nurse when something seems amiss, you are there to provide comfort measures, to assure safety, and to be their advocate. For the times when you cannot be there, hiring a private companion or a private duty nurse gives you peace of mind and immeasurable comfort in knowing that your family member is not alone and is receiving the utmost attention.
