Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the night. We’re talking about someone who’s there for the 3 a.m. bathroom trip, the medication that needs to happen at midnight, the fall that happens when your parent gets up in the dark. It’s the difference between worrying and knowing someone is watching.
Day to day, you’ll see your parent eating regular meals, taking medications on time, moving safely through the house, and having someone they trust nearby if anything changes. Our caregivers help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and the hundred small things that keep someone safe and dignified. You’ll get updates, and you’ll sleep knowing your parent isn’t alone when something unexpected happens.
Families in Glastonbury often come to us right after a Hartford Hospital discharge, when the medical crisis has passed but independence isn’t quite safe yet. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what safety actually looks like at 3 a.m., not just on paper. We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge timeline, and we’re ready to start fast.
We started this because we’ve lived the 24-Hour Care decision ourselves. A nurse understands nighttime falls, medication timing, and the specific moments when something goes wrong. You’re not explaining basic safety to someone who’s never seen it.
We don’t just send someone available. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what will make them comfortable with a caregiver in their home around the clock. The right match means better sleep for you and better care for them.
If your parent’s needs shift, if the caregiver gets sick, if something feels off, you reach us directly. We’re local to Hartford County and we adjust fast. You’re not calling a call center and hoping.
We know the discharge process at Hartford Hospital and work with their teams. We understand Glastonbury’s neighborhoods, the roads, the hospitals nearby. We’re part of your community, not a distant agency.

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 in your parent's home 24 hours, seven days a week. They help with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, and mobility. They're awake at night, watching for falls or confusion. During the day, they might help with light housekeeping, errands, or appointments. Basically, your parent is never alone and help is always right there.
We typically start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on the caregiver's schedule and your parent's specific needs. We work directly with Hartford Hospital's discharge team to get briefed on medical history and any special instructions. If it's urgent, we push harder to get someone there faster.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you and your family pay directly. Medicare doesn't cover around-the-clock in-home care. Some people use long-term care insurance or family resources to cover it. We can talk through the numbers with you, and we're honest about cost so there are no surprises.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day and is ordered by a doctor for medical reasons like post-surgery recovery. 24-Hour Care is continuous and covers safety, medication management, and peace of mind when your parent can't be left alone. Home health is medical and temporary. 24-Hour Care is ongoing protection.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, their personality, any medical needs, and what would make them comfortable. We match based on that, not just who's available. If the fit isn't right, we make a change. A good match makes everything easier for everyone.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We call you as soon as we know there's a change, and we get a replacement in place. You're not left scrambling. We treat your parent's safety like it's our own family.
