Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, when your mom forgot she’d already taken her medication. You live two hours away. You’re calling from your car leaving the office, thinking about tonight, about what happens at 2 a.m. when she gets out of bed.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and watching. During the day, they help with breakfast, medications, bathing, getting to appointments. At night, they’re there to catch a fall before it happens, to respond to a confusion episode, to make sure your parent doesn’t wander or forget they’ve already eaten. It’s safety you don’t have to provide yourself.
Families see their parent’s routine stabilize. Medications get taken on time. Meals happen. There’s someone there at 3 a.m. if your parent can’t sleep or needs the bathroom. There’s someone present for the small emergencies that don’t need a hospital but do need another set of hands and a calm voice. You stop holding your breath every time your phone rings.
If your parent just came home from Hospital of Central Connecticut or is managing a condition that needs oversight, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between hospital safety and independent living. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand discharge instructions, medication schedules, and the specific vulnerabilities of the first weeks home. We know Hartford County, we know Berlin’s layout, and we know how to talk to Hospital of Central Connecticut staff when we need to.
Our founder came home to find her own parent on the floor after a fall no one heard. We’re not speaking from a textbook. We know what it means to need someone there at night, to need nighttime fall prevention, to need the kind of attention that only comes when someone’s actually in the house. That’s what we built this around.
We don’t just send someone over. We listen to what your parent needs, who they’re comfortable with, what their routine looks like. We brief our caregivers thoroughly and we stay involved. The person showing up in Berlin is prepared, trained, and matched because it matters.
24-Hour Care isn’t set it and forget it. If something changes, if you’re worried, if your parent has a bad night, we’re reachable. We adjust. We problem-solve. We don’t disappear.
We work with Hospital of Central Connecticut regularly. We understand their discharge process, their protocols, the way they communicate care needs. If your parent needs to go back, we know the system. If they’re coming home from a stay, we know how to receive them safely.

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.

Common questions
Your caregiver arrives in the evening and stays through the following evening. During the day, they help with breakfast, medications, hygiene, getting dressed, appointments. They do light housekeeping related to your parent's care. At night, they sleep in a nearby room and respond if your parent needs help getting to the bathroom, falls, becomes confused, or needs medication. They're present and alert the entire time.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a phone call, depending on caregiver availability in the Berlin area. If you're planning ahead for a discharge, we prefer a few days notice so we can brief your caregiver on your parent's specific needs and medical situation. In urgent situations, we work fast. The goal is no gap between hospital discharge and someone being in your parent's home.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Insurance and Medicare typically don't cover around-the-clock in-home care. We understand this is a significant expense, and we're honest about that upfront. We can discuss rates, what different schedules cost, and whether a combination of services might work for your budget. We don't have hidden fees.
A home health aide usually comes for a few hours a few days a week, typically after a doctor's order. 24-Hour Care means someone is living in your parent's home continuously, awake at night, providing safety and presence around the clock. It's a completely different level of oversight. If your parent is at risk of falls at night, confusion, or can't be left alone for long stretches, 24-Hour Care is the right fit.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their needs, any behavioral concerns, medication complexity, mobility issues, and preferences. We match based on experience and fit, not just availability. Once matched, we brief the caregiver thoroughly so they arrive prepared. If the match isn't working, we address it.
We maintain backup coverage. If your caregiver is sick or unavailable, we have trained replacements ready. We give you notice as soon as possible so there are no surprises. Continuity matters, but reliability matters more. Your parent won't be without care.
