Your sister noticed something during the holiday visit to your parents’ house on Mill Street, the kind of thing you can’t unsee once she points it out.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your home from evening through morning, or whatever hours your parent needs. They’re there for the falls that happen at 2 a.m., the confusion that surfaces at midnight, the medication that needs to be given on time. It’s the difference between your mom sleeping through the night knowing someone is there, and you sleeping in your own bed without the weight of worry.
Your caregiver helps with everything that happens when the house is quiet, whatever that looks like for your family. Bathroom assistance in the middle of the night. Keeping an eye on someone who wanders. Making sure medications are taken. Being awake and alert so you don’t have to be. It’s presence, safety, and peace of mind bundled together.
Families across Enfield, Windsor Locks, Suffield, and Somers come to us when they realize 24-Hour Care is what their parent needs, especially after a discharge from Hartford Hospital or when a diagnosis changes everything. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical details and the emotional weight of what families are carrying. That foundation shapes how we staff, train, and match caregivers to your situation.
Our founder is a nurse, and we built this service around what we learned watching families exhaust themselves trying to stay awake for someone they love. We know the difference between a caregiver sitting in a chair and one who’s truly present for the fall that happens at 3 a.m. We know what around-the-clock safety actually requires.
When you call us about 24-Hour Care, we listen to who your parent is and what they need at night, not just the checklist. We take time to brief your caregiver on your family’s routines, your parent’s preferences, the small things that matter. If something changes or a match isn’t working, we fix it.
24-Hour Care situations don’t fit a standard schedule. Your parent’s needs might change, your family’s situation might shift, or you might need to adjust hours. We answer the phone when you need us and we work with you to keep your parent safe.
We work with families navigating discharge from Hartford Hospital and we understand the Hartford County landscape. We know the neighborhoods in Enfield and we’re familiar with the transitions that happen when your parent comes home needing overnight care.

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
Your caregiver is in your home for the hours you need them, typically evening through morning. They help with bathing or toileting if your parent needs it at night, keep medications on schedule, respond to confusion or restlessness, and stay awake and alert in case of falls. They're also doing the small things, like making sure your parent has water within reach or helping them get to the bathroom safely. The specifics depend on what your parent needs and what matters most to your family.
We work with families on tight timelines. If you're planning a discharge and know 24-Hour Care is needed, contact us as soon as you have a date. We typically can get a caregiver in place within a few days if needed, and we coordinate with your hospital social worker so nothing falls through the cracks. If it's an urgent situation, we move fast.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you're arranging and paying for it directly rather than going through an insurance claim. We're honest about this upfront because families deserve to know what they're looking at financially. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and we can give you guidance on how to present our services to an insurance company if you want to explore that option.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few times a week, usually during the day, and is ordered by a doctor as part of a medical plan. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your home around the clock for as long as your parent needs it. It's the difference between having help during waking hours and having safety and presence overnight when falls, confusion, and emergencies are most likely to happen.
Yes. We take time to understand who your parent is, what they're like at night, what scares them or comforts them. If your parent needs someone with dementia experience, or someone gentle with transfer assistance, or someone who can handle medical tasks, we listen and match carefully. We're local to Enfield and the surrounding towns, and we know how to find the right fit.
We have backup coverage so your parent isn't left without care. We'll call you as soon as we know about a change and we'll have someone else ready to step in. It's not ideal to switch caregivers unexpectedly, but we make sure there's always someone there and we keep the transition as smooth as we can.
