24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent around the clock, every single day. They’re there for meals, medications, mobility, toileting, bathing, and all the physical care that takes two hands and steady attention. But they’re also there at 2 a.m. when your parent needs to get to the bathroom, when they’re confused about where they are, or when a fall happens before you can get there.
On any given day, your caregiver is monitoring your parent’s intake and output, watching for signs of infection or decline, keeping the house safe, preparing meals that actually get eaten, managing medications on time, and staying alert for the small changes that matter. You stop holding your breath every time the phone rings. Your parent gets consistent, gentle care instead of a rotating cast of people or a family member running on empty.
Many Ansonia families come to us right after a discharge from Griffin Hospital, when the medical team says your parent can go home but needs supervision. We know that transition well. Our nurse-founder built this service because she watched families exhaust themselves trying to fill the gap between hospital discharge and independence. What we bring is eyes that don’t get tired and hands that know what they’re doing.
Our founder spent years seeing what happens when parents are left alone at night, and it shaped everything we do. We staff 24-Hour Care with people trained to spot falls, medication errors, and changes in condition before they become emergencies. You’re not just hiring someone to be present, you’re hiring someone who understands the real risks.
We don’t just send someone available. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what will actually work in your home. We brief our caregivers thoroughly and match based on personality, experience, and the specific support your family needs. That consistency matters when you’re trusting someone with around-the-clock care.
Things change. A medication gets prescribed, a new symptom shows up, or your parent needs something different at 3 a.m. You can reach us anytime, not just during business hours. We adjust the care plan and communicate clearly so everyone’s on the same page.
We know Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, and Seymour. We know Griffin Hospital’s discharge process and the community resources nearby. When you need 24-Hour Care, you need someone who understands your area and can act fast.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.
Why families trust us

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, toileting, and meals. They manage medications, monitor vital signs or changes in condition, keep the home safe and clean, and assist with mobility. At night, they're awake and alert, helping with bathroom trips, managing confusion or restlessness, and watching for falls or medical changes. During the day, they might prepare meals, do light housekeeping, run errands, or provide companionship. What gets included depends on your parent's specific needs and what you want the caregiver to handle.
We often coordinate directly with Griffin's discharge team. If you're planning ahead, we can match a caregiver and start care within a few days of discharge. If you need it immediately, call us as soon as you know a discharge date, and we'll prioritize the match. We've helped many Ansonia families transition from hospital to home, and we know how urgent that window feels.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you pay out of pocket. It's not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or most insurance plans because it's a personal care service rather than skilled nursing. We're transparent about cost upfront so you can plan. Many families pay for part of the week and handle some shifts themselves, or they use it temporarily after a discharge when the need is highest.
Home health aides typically come a few hours a day and are ordered by a doctor for post-hospital recovery. 24-Hour Care means one caregiver (or two on split shifts) stays with your parent continuously, day and night. Home health aides follow a care plan tied to medical necessity. 24-Hour Care is flexible and based on what your family needs to feel safe and supported. We're often the next step when home health care ends but your parent still needs someone there.
Yes. We listen to what matters: your parent's personality, their health conditions, any cultural or language preferences, and what kind of support works best for your family. We have caregivers with different backgrounds and experience. We don't just fill a slot, we make a real match. Once matched, we keep that caregiver consistent so your parent and family build trust and routine.
We have a backup plan. We maintain a network of trained caregivers and communicate clearly when coverage needs to shift. We give you notice as early as possible and match you with someone we've already briefed on your parent's needs. Continuity matters, but we also make sure you're never left without care when life happens, whether it's illness, a family emergency, or a scheduled day off.
