Around-the-Clock Care: Meeting the Rising Demand for Immediate Home Care

June 24, 2025


In today’s fast-paced world, the need for home care can arise without warning — often in the wake of a medical crisis like a sudden fall or a hospital discharge. These events don’t happen on a schedule, and neither should access to care. Increasingly, families are finding themselves in urgent situations, needing dependable, high-quality home care in a matter of hours — not days.

An Evolving Industry

As this demand grows, home care is evolving into a 24/7, 365 days a year industry. Families are no longer only planning for long-term support. They’re seeking immediate care solutions at all hours of the day and night, including weekends and holidays. The ability to respond quickly isn’t just helpful — it’s essential.

Rapid Response That Makes a Difference

At Family & Nursing Care, we’ve built our model around responsiveness and accessibility. In fact, 50% of our new clients begin receiving care within just 24 hours of contacting us, and 75% within 48 hours. That kind of speed can make all the difference in recovery, safety, and peace of mind.

“When a crisis strikes, families don’t have time to wait,” said Mitch Markowitz, Vice President of Business Development at Family & Nursing Care. “What sets us apart is our ability to respond rapidly — any time of day — by connecting clients with personalized, high-quality care that’s thoughtfully matched to meet their needs. We don’t just fill a shift — we provide a solution.”

A Comprehensive Support System

To deliver on the promise of top-notch care at any hour, Family & Nursing Care relies on a robust infrastructure that allows us to move quickly and thoughtfully:

  • Expansive Caregiver Network: With a wide network of experienced caregivers, families have access to a diverse and qualified team of professionals. Every caregiver is rigorously screened to ensure they possess the skills and compassion needed to provide outstanding care.
  • Dedicated Coordination Team: Our Care Coordinating Managers are experts in handling complex scheduling needs and can swiftly match caregivers to families based on their unique needs, even on nights and weekends.
  • Ongoing Tailored Service: Our Client Services Managers work closely with families to understand their preferences, values, and care goals — ensuring personalized support from the start.
  • Comprehensive Intake Process: Our intake team gathers detailed information to quickly assess each client’s needs and tailor solutions that deliver comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Helping Families Navigate Crisis Moments

This kind of coordination is critical when clients are transitioning home from the hospital or recovering from a fall — two of the most common scenarios that prompt emergency care needs. Having immediate care in place helps prevent complications and hospital readmissions, making a smoother recovery possible.

Whether it’s a late-night hospital discharge or an unexpected emergency on a weekend, Family & Nursing Care is here to provide exceptional support. To learn more about how Family & Nursing Care can help clients with urgent and ongoing care, visit our Why Us? page.
