Yes, you can get 24-hour home care in the Tri-Cities. Mother’s Arms Homecare provides 24/7 non-medical in-home care for seniors in Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, and West Richland, so your loved one can stay safely in their own home with a trusted caregiver there day and night. Most families choose round-the-clock care after a fall, a hospital stay, or when dementia makes nights unsafe. If your loved one needs skilled nursing like wound care or injections, you’ll need a licensed home health agency alongside or instead of in-home care.
What is 24-hour home care?
24-hour home care means a caregiver is in the home around the clock, so your loved one is never alone. It is non-medical support for daily life: help getting up and dressed, meals, bathing, medication reminders, safe movement around the house, and company through the day and night.
For many Tri-Cities families, the biggest relief is knowing someone is there at 2 a.m. if Mom tries to get up on her own, or if Dad wakes up confused and wants to go outside.
Who needs round-the-clock care at home?
Round-the-clock care is usually right when your loved one can no longer be safely left alone for any part of the day. Common signs include:
- Falls, or near-falls, especially at night
- Wandering, getting lost, or leaving the stove on
- Confusion that gets worse in the evening (often called sundowning)
- Coming home from the hospital or a rehab stay and needing help with everything
- A family caregiver who is exhausted and can’t keep covering nights
If you’re seeing one or two of these, start with a conversation. Some families begin with daytime help or respite care for family caregivers and add overnight support as needs change.
How does 24/7 live-in care work with Mother’s Arms?
With live-in care, a consistent caregiver from our local team stays in the home and supports your loved one through the whole day. Here is how it usually starts:
- Call or book an in-home consultation. A local care manager visits, listens to your goals, and learns your loved one’s routines.
- We build a personal care plan. Together we set the schedule, safety needs, mobility support, meals, and preferences.
- We match a consistent caregiver. Whenever possible, the same caregiver comes every day so your loved one sees a familiar face.
- Care begins and we stay in touch. Our team checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs change.
Our 24/7 live-in care in the Tri-Cities includes meal preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, medication reminders, grooming and hygiene help, transportation to appointments, and companionship. Weekend and holiday coverage is included, and our team is available 24/7/365.
Why choose a local Tri-Cities agency for 24-hour care?
A local agency gives you consistent caregivers and a care manager you can reach. Mother’s Arms Homecare is locally owned, with an office in Kennewick serving Richland, Pasco, West Richland, Benton City, Finley, Burbank, Prosser, and Walla Walla.
Teyia and our team focus on matching the same caregivers to each family, because consistency matters even more with round-the-clock care. A familiar caregiver learns how your loved one likes their coffee, which chair they nap in, and what helps when they feel anxious at night. We are also veteran-aware and can help families understand VA Aid and Attendance benefits for in-home care.

Real talk: what 24-hour home care can and can’t do
24-hour in-home care keeps your loved one safe, fed, clean, and supported at home, but it is not medical care. Our caregivers provide medication reminders, not medication administration, and they do not provide skilled nursing such as wound care, IV therapy, or injections.
If your loved one has medical needs like these, a licensed home health agency can visit for the skilled care while our caregivers handle everything else in between. We’re happy to talk through what makes sense for your family, even if it means pointing you to another provider.

Frequently asked questions
Is 24-hour home care the same as live-in care?
They are closely related. Both mean a caregiver is in the home around the clock. With Mother’s Arms Homecare, 24/7 live-in care means a consistent caregiver stays with your loved one so they are never alone.
Does Mother’s Arms provide 24-hour care in Richland and Pasco?
Yes. Our Kennewick office serves Kennewick, Richland, Pasco, West Richland, Benton City, Finley, Burbank, Prosser, and Walla Walla.
Can 24-hour care help someone with dementia stay at home?
Often, yes. Round-the-clock care adds supervision for wandering and nighttime confusion, plus calm daily routines. Our caregivers are trained in dementia and memory care support.
Does Medicare pay for 24-hour home care?
Medicare generally does not cover non-medical in-home care like 24/7 live-in support. Many families use private pay, long-term care insurance, or, for eligible veterans and surviving spouses, VA Aid and Attendance benefits.
How quickly can 24-hour care start?
It depends on your loved one’s needs and caregiver availability. Call our Kennewick team and we’ll walk you through timing during your first conversation.
