24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent around the clock, awake and present. This isn’t a monitoring system or a pendant they wear. It’s a real person there during the hours that worry you most, from late evening through early morning, and all day long if that’s what your family needs.
On a typical day, a 24-Hour caregiver helps with medications, meal prep, bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. They’re there if your parent gets up at 2 a.m. disoriented. They notice changes, report them to you, and know what counts as a real problem versus a normal night. You get sleep. Your parent gets safety.
Here in Colebrook and Litchfield County, many families come to us right after a Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge, when your parent is still unsteady or on new medication schedules. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what safe looks like after a hospital stay and how fast things can change. We staff 24-Hour Care the way a nurse would, with the knowledge that nighttime falls and medication errors happen fastest when nobody’s watching.
Our founder is a nurse who watched her own family struggle to keep a parent safe at night. That’s why we don’t treat 24-Hour Care as just a job. We understand the weight of knowing your parent is alone, the fear of a fall you won’t hear, the guilt of not being there.
When you call about 24-Hour Care, we ask real questions about your parent’s personality, habits, and what matters to them. We don’t send the first available person. We find someone who fits, and we brief them fully before day one so the transition is calm.
Your parent’s health doesn’t follow business hours. If something shifts, you reach us immediately and we listen like it matters, because it does. If your regular caregiver needs to step back, we have backup coverage so your parent never goes uncovered.
We know the discharge nurses at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, the local doctors, and the roads around Colebrook and Norfolk. We’re not coordinating from an office two hours away. We’re here, and we move fast when your parent needs help.

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 is with your parent from evening through morning (or 24 hours if that's what you need). They help with medications, meals, hygiene, toileting, mobility, and anything else your parent can't do safely alone. They stay awake at night and watch for falls, confusion, or medical changes. They report to you every day and keep detailed notes so you and your doctor know what's happening.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours in most cases. We work directly with Charlotte Hungerford's discharge team and get your parent's medical details and medication list right away. If your parent is coming home unsteady or on new meds, we move fast because we know those first days home are the riskiest.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Insurance and Medicare don't cover round-the-clock caregiving. That said, if your parent qualifies for Medicaid waiver programs in Connecticut, some hours may be covered. We're honest about costs upfront and can discuss what fits your family's budget.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day, usually ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay, and is often covered by insurance. 24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent all night, all day, or both, and it's private pay. Home health is medical and temporary. 24-Hour Care is ongoing presence and safety.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, daily routines, any behavioral or memory changes, and what kind of person would work best in your home. We listen to your concerns about nighttime safety, medication management, or mobility issues. Then we find someone experienced in those areas and make sure they're the right fit before we start.
We have backup coverage in Litchfield County so your parent is never left alone. We notify you as soon as we know someone can't work that day and we send a trained replacement who knows your parent's routine and needs. Your safety net stays intact.
