How often can a Health Care Aide visit?

Flexible Visits Built Around Your Needs

A Health Care Aide can visit as often as your personalized care plan calls for. At Infinity Healthcare, there is no one-size-fits-all schedule. Some Edmonton clients arrange a few hours of support once or twice a week, while others benefit from daily visits, multiple visits in one day, overnight assistance, or 24/7 in-home care. The right frequency depends on the person’s routines, preferences, available family support, and the type of non-clinical assistance they would like at home.

Visits may be scheduled for a specific part of the day when support is most helpful. For example, a Health Care Aide may assist with a morning routine, including bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility support, breakfast preparation, and medication reminders. An evening visit may focus on supper, personal care, preparing for bed, or helping the home feel safe and comfortable. Families may also request companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, or accompaniment to appointments and outings.

Common scheduling options include:

  • Occasional or short-term visits: Support during recovery, after a change in routine, or when a family caregiver needs time to rest.
  • Weekly visits: Regular help with personal care, home support, companionship, or errands.
  • Daily or multiple daily visits: Consistent assistance with morning, afternoon, and evening routines.
  • Overnight and 24/7 care: Flexible support for individuals and families who need ongoing coverage or caregiver support.
  • Respite schedules: Planned or recurring visits that give family caregivers time for work, appointments, rest, and personal commitments.

Care needs can change, and your schedule can change too. Infinity Healthcare works with clients and families to review the care plan and adjust visit times, duration, or frequency as routines and preferences evolve. This may be especially helpful for people living with dementia, families receiving FSCD support, or individuals who need additional comfort-focused support at home.

Our trusted and trained caregivers provide respectful assistance that supports independence, dignity, and personal choice. A conversation with our care team can help identify a schedule that fits your household without adding unnecessary services. Call Infinity Healthcare to discuss your in-home care needs in Edmonton and get started with a care plan built around you.
