Serving Families Across Connecticut

Our 24-hour in-home care services are available statewide, supporting families across Connecticut.

There is a point at which hourly visits stop being enough — usually announced by a night-time fall, a wandering episode, or a hospital discharge that sends someone home far weaker than they left. At that point families face a choice they were not planning to make: a facility, or continuous care at home.

We staff continuous care two ways. 24-hour care uses rotating caregivers on shifts, so someone is awake and alert at every hour, which is the right structure when nights are genuinely active — frequent toileting, disorientation, exit-seeking. Live-in care places a caregiver in the home with a defined sleep period, which suits a client who sleeps through most nights and needs presence and quick response rather than constant supervision. The two cost differently and we will tell you plainly which one the situation calls for, including when the cheaper option is the correct one.

For many families, continuous care at home is genuinely comparable in cost to a memory care or assisted living placement once you account for the full monthly fee, level-of-care surcharges, and the loss of one-to-one attention. Our Connecticut home care cost guide and our home care versus assisted living comparison lay out the arithmetic so you can run it for your own situation.

How Care Begins

1. Same-day or next-day consultation

Continuous care is usually requested under time pressure — a discharge date, a sudden decline. We assess quickly and tell you honestly whether we can staff it on your timeline.

2. The right structure, chosen deliberately

We recommend shift-based 24-hour care or live-in care based on what actually happens at night, not on what is easier to bill.

3. A caregiver team, coordinated

Continuous care means multiple caregivers. They work from one written plan and one shared log, so nothing gets dropped at shift change.

4. Registered Nurse oversight of the whole case

One nurse-led point of accountability for the team, the plan, and communication with the family and any discharge planner or case manager involved.
