24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the night. We’re here for the falls that happen at 2 a.m., the medication that needs to go in at 10 p.m., the bathroom visits when balance isn’t what it used to be. It’s the difference between your parent being alone and your parent being safe.
On any given day, you’ll see our caregiver helping with personal care, meal prep, light housekeeping, mobility support, and medication reminders. We’re alert at night when your parent gets up. We notice changes. We call you if something shifts. We sit with them during the quiet hours so your family can sleep.
Families near Stamford Hospital often reach out to us right after discharge, when 24-Hour Care becomes clear and necessary. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what safe looks like at three in the morning, and we know how to talk to hospital staff and your parent’s doctor. Being local to Fairfield County, we know the discharge process and we move fast.
A nurse founded this agency because she saw families reach the breaking point. Nighttime falls, missed medications, a parent who won’t use the call button. We know what keeps people safe at night, and we don’t use soft language about it.
You tell us what matters most. We listen for personality fit, for experience with your parent’s specific situation, for someone who can be fully present at 2 a.m. We brief every caregiver on exactly what to watch for.
Your parent’s needs shift. We shift with you. You can reach us when questions come up at night or when you need to adjust the plan. We’re not distant or slow.
We’re local. We understand the discharge timeline, we work with your parent’s doctors, and we show up fast. Darien is home to us, not a service area on a map.

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
A caregiver is present and awake for all 24 hours. During the day, that includes personal hygiene, meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and outings if your parent is able. At night, the caregiver stays alert while your parent sleeps, responds immediately to any need, helps with bathroom visits, and watches for falls or medical changes. We keep detailed notes so you know what happened while you were away.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if we know about the discharge early. The sooner you call us, the better we can coordinate with the hospital and prepare. If your parent comes home on a Friday evening, we work to have someone there by Saturday or Sunday. We understand discharge is urgent.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers medical home health services like nursing or therapy, but not around-the-clock personal care. We help families understand the difference and what their actual costs will be. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal funds. We're honest about the investment and what you get for it.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day, usually ordered by a doctor after an illness or injury and covered by Medicare. A 24-Hour Care caregiver is there every single hour, awake at night, and focused on safety and presence rather than medical recovery. 24-Hour Care is for families who can't leave their parent alone because of fall risk, medication complexity, or wandering.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, and health needs before we match. We want to find someone who fits, not just someone available. If the match isn't working after a few days, we'll adjust. A good fit matters more than speed.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's routine and needs. We call you first if we know in advance. In an emergency, we have someone who can cover, and we brief them the same way. Your parent doesn't go unattended, and you're not left scrambling.
