Will the homecare staff stay all day?

Not for skilled care provided by nursing and therapy. Skilled visits are for intermittent care, and are usually for approximately an hour. The goal of the visits is to help teach the patient and family to be independent in their care. Private duty aide care is available for longer periods of time. This type of custodial care is usually not covered by insurance, but is available on a private pay basis.
