When a loved one is in the hospital, it’s not always possible for family members to be by their side around the clock. That’s where A Place At Home steps in. Our hospital sitter services provide one-on-one, non-medical support to ensure your loved one stays safe, comfortable, and emotionally supported throughout their stay.

Why Families Rely on Hospital Sitters
Hospital stays can be overwhelming, especially for seniors recovering from surgery, living with chronic conditions, or feeling disoriented in a clinical setting. While doctors and nurses do their best, they often can’t be there every minute. That’s where we step in.
Our hospital sitters in Little Rock, AR help ease anxiety for both patients and families by:
- Offering compassionate companionship and emotional support
- Helping prevent falls or confusion by staying attentive and engaged
- Communicating with medical staff when concerns arise
- Providing relief and peace of mind for family members who can’t be at the bedside 24/7
Whether it’s for a short-term stay or longer hospitalization, we’re here to ensure your loved one feels supported, seen, and safe throughout their time in the hospital. Our experienced sitters stay with the patient around the clock—24 hours a day, 7 days a week—and act as an extra set of eyes and ears. While they do not provide medical care, they help communicate any concerns or changes in condition to nurses and physicians, helping improve care coordination and patient outcomes.
