24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver in your home overnight and through the day, awake and present. It’s not about medical equipment or IV lines. It’s about someone being there when your parent needs to get up at 3 a.m., when they’re disoriented about where they are, when a fall could happen and nobody would know until morning.
A typical day with 24-Hour Care includes help with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, mobility, and bathroom safety. Your caregiver watches for changes, stays alert through the night, and keeps you informed about what they’re seeing. You sleep knowing someone who cares is actually there, not checking in by phone.
Many East Hartford families choose 24-Hour Care after a discharge from Hartford Hospital, when doctors say your parent can go home but you know they need eyes on them constantly. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what safe 24-hour care actually requires, not just what sounds good on paper.
Our founders are nurses who’ve managed the overnight shifts, the midnight falls, the 2 a.m. confusion that family members miss. We don’t treat 24-Hour Care as a schedule you fill, we treat it as a promise that someone experienced is awake and watching.
We don’t just send a warm body for the night shift. We learn your parent’s specific patterns, fears, and needs before matching a caregiver. We brief extensively so your caregiver knows your parent’s routine, medications, mobility limits, and what to watch for.
24-Hour Care situations shift. Your parent’s needs evolve, or you need to adjust the schedule on short notice. We’re here to listen and adapt, not to hand you a contract and disappear.
We work with Hartford Hospital’s discharge planners regularly. We know the process, we know the timeline, and we can start quickly when your parent comes home. Being local means we understand East Hartford’s neighborhoods and can respond if something urgent comes up.

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
Your caregiver is in your home for a 24-hour shift, awake and present. They help with morning routines, medications, meals, and mobility. During the day they may accompany your parent to appointments or activities. At night they're alert and nearby, watching for falls, confusion, or bathroom emergencies. They document what they see and report back to you. It's constant presence and eyes on your parent, not periodic check-ins.
We typically can begin within 48 to 72 hours of you reaching out, depending on caregiver availability and your parent's specific needs. If you're coordinating with Hartford Hospital's discharge team, tell them you're working with us, and we'll connect with them directly. The sooner you call, the more time we have to brief your caregiver and make sure everything is in place before your parent comes home.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover overnight companionship care unless it's part of a medical service like skilled nursing. We're honest about that upfront. Many families find that one full-time caregiver working 24-hour shifts is more affordable than piecing together multiple part-time aides, and it gives you consistency and safety.
A home health aide typically works 2 to 4 hour shifts and usually requires a doctor's order tied to a medical condition. 24-Hour Care is continuous presence, day and night, and doesn't depend on a medical diagnosis. It's for families who need someone there because leaving their parent alone isn't safe anymore, whether due to fall risk, confusion, or behavioral changes.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, preferences, physical needs, and any behavior patterns before we suggest a match. We ask about dietary needs, mobility level, communication style, and what worries you most. We then present a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit, and we arrange a trial period so you can be sure it's the right fit before committing.
We maintain a backup list of trained caregivers familiar with 24-Hour Care and East Hartford clients. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we work quickly to place a substitute. We brief the substitute thoroughly on your parent's routine and any special needs. We know continuity matters, so we try hard not to leave you uncovered.
