24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home overnight and through the day, ready to help with everything from medication reminders to getting to the bathroom safely, to making sure they eat, to being awake and alert if a fall happens at 3 a.m. It’s not a hospital bed in your living room. It’s a real person there, watching, so you can finally sleep.
On a typical day, you’ll see your parent getting up safely, eating breakfast without you having to call and remind them, taking their medications on time, and having someone there when the mail comes or when they want to sit outside. At night, the caregiver stays close, listening for the sounds of confusion or a fall, keeping a light on, making sure your parent knows someone is there. It’s the difference between worry and actually being able to rest.
Families in Brooklyn and the surrounding towns of Pomfret, Woodstock, Putnam, and Canterbury often turn to us after a hospital stay at Day Kimball Hospital, when discharge planners are asking, “Who will be home with them?” We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand exactly what safety looks like in the hours nobody talks about, the middle-of-the-night hours, and we build our matches around that knowledge.
We started this because we’ve been the ones getting the 2 a.m. call. Every caregiver we place for 24-Hour Care knows what it means to be alert, to know the difference between normal and dangerous, and to move fast without panicking. That’s nurse knowledge, and it’s what keeps your parent safe.
We don’t just send someone over. We brief every caregiver on your parent’s exact routine, their medications, what they’re afraid of, and what they need at midnight versus noon. Experience matters, and we match people who have done this work before, who have lived through the hard parts.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication changes, or they have a bad night, or you notice something new. You call us, and we listen, and we adjust. 24-Hour Care isn’t a schedule you set and forget. We’re here to shift with you.
We know the Day Kimball Hospital discharge process, we know the roads around Brooklyn, and we know the rhythm of small-town life here. When you’re coordinating with your doctor or therapist, we’re already speaking their language because we’re part of this community.

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
A caregiver arrives in the evening and stays through the night and into the next day, helping with meals, medications, personal care, and being awake if your parent needs to get up at 3 a.m. They're not sleeping in shifts. They're present. They help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and all the small moments that happen around the clock. If your parent wants to sit on the porch or needs to go to an appointment, the caregiver goes with them. It's continuous support, not just supervision.
We can usually begin within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on availability and what your parent needs. We coordinate directly with Day Kimball's discharge planners so there's no gap in care. If discharge happens on a Friday evening, we'll have someone in place by Saturday morning or by the next Monday morning at the latest. We move fast because we know that the first week home is the most fragile.
No. 24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you're paying out of pocket for this service. Medicare covers home health aides for specific skilled nursing needs, but 24-Hour safety care is different and is not covered. We're honest about the cost because families deserve to know what they're signing up for. We can talk through what this means for your budget and sometimes help you explore options.
A home health aide typically comes a few times a week for a few hours, focused on bathing and dressing. They're not there at night, and they're not there when your parent is sitting alone with a cup of coffee or when they wake up confused. 24-Hour Care is someone living in your home, awake and present through the night and day, so a fall at 2 a.m. doesn't go unnoticed. It's a completely different level of safety and continuous support.
Yes. We listen carefully to what your parent needs, what scares you, and what matters most. Some parents need someone who's trained in dementia. Some need someone who's patient with hearing loss or who can help with dialysis. We match based on experience, personality, and the specific challenges your parent faces, not just availability. It takes time to get it right, and we believe it's worth getting right.
We have a backup plan before we even place your regular caregiver. You'll know who the backup is, and we'll call them in if there's ever a sick day or emergency. We don't leave you hanging. If something changes, you call us, and we figure it out together. Your parent's safety doesn't stop because someone got the flu.
