A member asked:

Before hiring a caregiver, does it matter if your loved one requires occasional or continuous care?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: As long as you and loved ones feel comfortable and sense of security. Geriatrician or geriatric case manager will help to assist your decision on the amount of hours needed for loved one.
