Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting across the table at a family dinner in East Haddam. Your parent’s hands shook a little more, and they were up three times that night. You live two hours away, and you can’t be there every evening when a fall could happen, or when they wake up confused at 2 a.m. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes the difference between worry and actual rest.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present. They’re there at 3 a.m. when your parent gets up to use the bathroom. They’re there during the day to help with meals, medications, and movement. They’re there so you don’t have to choose between your own family and your parent’s safety.
On a typical day, a 24-Hour Care caregiver handles personal care, meal prep, medication reminders, mobility support, and nighttime monitoring. They watch for falls, confusion, or changes in behavior. They keep your parent company so they’re not sitting in the dark waiting for something bad to happen. They do the laundry, the light housekeeping, and they notice things you might miss because they’re there, every shift.
After discharge from Middlesex Hospital or any unexpected health change, 24-Hour Care bridges the gap between hospital and home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of around-the-clock safety, not just the logistics. Our team in Middlesex County knows the Middlesex Hospital discharge process and what families actually need when they bring their parent home.
Being nurse-founded means we know that falls don’t happen on a schedule, and neither does confusion or panic. We staff for around-the-clock safety because we’ve seen what happens when no one is there at 2 a.m. Your parent gets a caregiver who’s trained to prevent falls and respond calmly when they do.
We don’t just send anyone. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s medical history, habits, and what makes them feel safe. We match based on experience and personality fit, because 24-Hour Care only works if both your parent and the caregiver are comfortable with each other.
24-Hour Care situations shift quickly. A new medication, a doctor’s appointment that changes everything, a grandchild visiting. We’re available to adjust staffing, troubleshoot, and support the caregiver and your family in real time, not on a callback schedule.
We know the route from your parent’s home near the Moodus area to Middlesex Hospital. We’ve worked with their discharge team. We understand East Haddam winters, the local rhythm, and the neighborhoods where our families live.

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 24-Hour Care caregiver provides personal care like bathing and dressing, helps with meals and medications, assists with mobility and toileting, and monitors your parent throughout the day and night. They do light housekeeping, laundry, and errands. Most importantly, they're present and awake at night, watching for falls, confusion, or any change that needs attention. They're the second set of eyes and hands your family can trust.
We can typically start within 48 to 72 hours of your call, depending on caregiver availability and your parent's specific needs. If you know discharge is coming, we recommend reaching out a few days before so we can brief our team and have a caregiver ready. For urgent situations or rapid discharges, we work closely with the hospital to make sure your parent isn't home alone.
24-Hour Care is a private pay service and is not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. The cost depends on your parent's needs and the caregiver's experience level. We can discuss what's realistic for your family and break down the investment. Many families use long-term care insurance, retirement savings, or family contributions to cover it.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a few times a week, which works if your parent has minor support needs. 24-Hour Care means someone is there all day and all night, every day, providing continuous monitoring and support. The difference is presence and prevention. 24-Hour Care catches a fall as it happens, prevents medication errors, and responds to nighttime emergencies in seconds, not minutes.
Yes. We listen to what matters most to your family, whether that's experience with dementia, experience with a specific medical condition, language preferences, or personality fit. We maintain relationships with our caregivers and know their strengths. We'll propose a match based on real compatibility, not just availability, and we adjust if it's not working.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready to step in. We brief them on your parent's needs and preferences before they arrive. We prioritize continuity, so we don't just send a stranger every time someone calls out. If a regular caregiver needs time off, we plan ahead and introduce their backup so the transition is smooth.
