Rotating shifts consist of 8–12-hour blocks with continuous waking coverage; this model is best for high-activity environments or complex clinical care. Live-in care involves one caregiver remaining in the home with defined off-duty and sleep times; it is better suited for lower overnight workloads and consistent routines. The recommended model is determined by an assessment of risks, home layout, and budget.
