Live-in Nurse vs Shift Nurse – Which is Right for Your Family? | Lajpal Care
When it comes to home nursing services in Pakistan, especially in cities like Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Peshawar, Abbottabad, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, and Sargodha, families often face the question: Should we hire a live-in nurse or a shift nurse? Choosing the right nursing care can make a huge difference in patient recovery and peace of mind.
🏠 What is a Live-in Nurse?
A live-in nurse stays at the patient’s home 24/7. This arrangement is ideal for patients requiring constant medical supervision, such as:
-
Post-surgery patients
-
Elderly with chronic illnesses
-
Patients needing ICU-level care
-
Disabled or bedridden patients
Advantages of Live-in Nurses:
-
Continuous monitoring and care
-
Immediate response to emergencies
-
Builds a strong relationship with the patient
-
Less disruption in patient’s routine
⏰ What is a Shift Nurse?
A shift nurse works in predefined shifts, typically 12 or 24 hours. This option is flexible and suits patients who don’t require round-the-clock supervision but still need professional nursing support during specific hours.
Advantages of Shift Nurses:
-
Flexible scheduling
-
Cost-effective compared to live-in care
-
Ideal for short-term or part-time care needs
-
Easier for families to manage
