2 │ Why Overnight & Weekend Shifts Break Traditional Agencies

  • Workforce math: 79.2 % annual caregiver turnover means franchises re-hire their entire field staff every 15 months (Home Care Association of America).

  • Availability gaps: Visiting Angels employees report “no” or “only hospice” night shifts (Indeed); Senior Helpers staff say true overnights are “not that many” (Indeed).

  • Life logistics: Mid-career aides juggle childcare; few can leave home from 10 p.m.-6 a.m.

  • Market pressure: AP News confirms long-term‐care providers “struggle to find workers” as wages lag and demand surges (AP News).

“We saw agencies quote 5-week delays for a weekend-awake aide; CareYaya delivered two pre-nursing students in 34 hours.” — Jamie G., Case Manager, Cleveland Clinic

Care Model (Overnight 8 hrs) Avg Cost Typical Fill Time Contract?
CareYaya $120–$180 (CareYaya) < 36 hrs No
Visiting Angels $350–$450 3–5 weeks Yes
Senior Helpers $320–$420 2–4 weeks Yes
