Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner near West Road, the way your mom’s hands shook reaching for her coffee. The falls had started six weeks ago, but the real scare came at 2 a.m. when your dad found her on the bedroom floor and realized he couldn’t watch her every second anymore. You knew then that 24-Hour Care wasn’t an option, it was what had to happen.

24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent around the clock. Not a nurse coming for two hours three times a week. A trained caregiver living in your home or staying overnight and into the morning, awake and watching, ready to help with everything from the middle of the night to first light.
Day to day, you’ll see your parent getting help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medications on schedule. Your caregiver watches for falls, responds if your parent gets confused at 3 a.m., makes sure they eat and stay safe in their own home. You get to sleep knowing someone is there. You can work. You can breathe.
Many Avon families come to us right after a Hartford Hospital discharge, when a doctor says your parent can go home but shouldn’t be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what hospitals look for in a caregiver and how to bridge that gap between hospital care and home. We know the Hartford Hospital discharge timeline and we’re ready to start the same day you need us.
A nurse built this agency because she watched families panic after a fall at 2 a.m. When someone is there all night, those falls get prevented or caught immediately. We know what you’re actually afraid of, and we staff for that fear.
It’s not just about finding someone available. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, what time of day they’re most confused or unsteady. Then we match a caregiver with the right experience and temperament. You meet them before we start.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication gets added. A new symptom shows up. You call us, and we listen and adjust. We don’t disappear once the care starts. You have a real person to talk to.
We’re local to Avon and we work regularly with Hartford Hospital. We understand their expectations for 24-Hour Care, their paperwork, their timing. We can often start the same afternoon your parent comes home.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For 24-Hour Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.
Often same day for urgent Avon families who need 24-hour care now.
We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
On a typical day, your caregiver helps your parent wake up, bathe, dress, and eat breakfast. They manage medications, watch for falls or confusion, help with bathroom needs, prepare lunch and dinner, handle light housekeeping in your parent's space, and stay awake and alert through the night. If your parent needs help at 3 a.m., the caregiver is there. They're not sleeping through the night. They're watching.
We can often start the same day or the next morning, depending on when you call us and what paperwork Hartford Hospital requires. If you know discharge is coming, call us a few days early so we can meet your parent and caregiver before he or she comes home. If it's sudden, we move fast. We've done this many times.
24-Hour Care is private pay in most cases. Medicare covers skilled nursing or physical therapy for a short time after hospitalization, but not around-the-clock personal care in your home. Long-term care insurance policies sometimes help. We can discuss costs with you honestly and help you understand what's possible for your family.
A home health aide comes for a set number of hours, usually a few times a week, often ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay. 24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent all day and all night. If your parent can't be alone safely, that's the difference you need. One person is there when the falls happen. The other isn't.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent, what they're like in the morning, if they get anxious at night, their routines, their personality. We listen to what you need. Then we choose a caregiver from our team who fits that picture. You meet them before we start. If it's not right, we adjust.
We have backup caregivers we've trained and vetted, and we notify them early if we know there's a gap coming. We don't leave you without coverage. If someone calls in sick, we have a plan. You should never worry that your parent will be alone because we couldn't find someone.
