24-Hour Split-Shift Senior Care on Long Island
Continuous awake support day and night
TRU Star Senior Care provides private-pay 24-hour split-shift care for clients who need an awake caregiver available throughout the day and night. Two caregivers work separate 12-hour shifts, creating continuous coverage without an overnight sleep period. This service is different from live-in care. A live-in caregiver has designated rest and sleep time in the home. Split-shift caregivers remain awake and available during their assigned shifts.

Who may need split shift care
Twenty-four-hour split-shift care may be appropriate for clients who should not be left alone, frequently need help overnight, have a high fall or wandering risk, are living with dementia, or are transitioning home after a hospital or rehabilitation stay. The consultation helps determine whether split-shift or live-in care is the better arrangement.
How service is arranged?
We begin with a consultation and assessment, confirm the daily routine and support needs, then coordinate two caregivers for the 12-hour shifts. The care plan is reviewed as needs change. All services require a minimum two week commitment.
