24-Hour Care in Goshen, CT
Around-the-clock non-medical care at home, two caregiver shifts covering full day and night.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your sister noticed something when she visited for the holidays, sitting at your mother’s kitchen table on Main Street, watching her struggle to remember which medications she’d taken. A fall at 2 a.m. that wasn’t reported until morning. Or maybe it was the call from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s discharge coordinator, asking if your dad would be safe at home overnight without someone there. You know you can’t be there every night, and you’re running out of options.

24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent’s home all day and night, awake and present. Not a medical nurse making visits. A trained caregiver who’s there when your parent wakes up confused at 3 a.m., when they need help getting to the bathroom, when they forget if they ate lunch, when a fall happens and you need someone who can respond in seconds, not minutes.
Day-to-day, this looks like meal prep, medication reminders, toileting and bathing, dressing, mobility help, laundry, light housekeeping, and someone alert enough to notice changes, call the doctor, or dial 911 if something goes wrong. Your parent has companionship instead of silence. You sleep knowing someone reliable is there.
If your parent was just discharged from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or is managing a condition that makes nighttime dangerous, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap. We’re nurse-founded, which means we’ve lived this ourselves, and we build our caregiving around what actually keeps someone safe around the clock, not what looks good on paper.
We started this because we watched family members struggle with nighttime falls, medication errors, and the terror of leaving a parent alone. We know what it feels like to get that 2 a.m. call. That’s why our 24-Hour Care isn’t just coverage, it’s peace of mind grounded in real experience.
We don’t send whoever is available. We listen to what your parent needs, what your family’s routine looks like, and we match someone who fits. Before they start, they’re briefed on your parent’s medications, habits, triggers, and your family’s expectations. That matters when someone’s in your home for 24 hours.
If your parent’s needs shift, or the caregiver needs support at 3 a.m., you reach a real person who knows your situation. We don’t hide behind an answering service. You have continuity and someone who can pivot quickly.
We know the discharge coordinators at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, the neighborhoods of Goshen, Litchfield, Torrington, and Cornwall. We understand the local landscape and can staff your care fast when your parent is ready to come home.

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
A caregiver arrives in the morning and stays overnight. They help with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, toileting, mobility, laundry, and light housekeeping. They stay awake at night to listen for your parent, respond to bathroom trips, check on confusion or pain, and notice if something has changed. During the day, they provide companionship and watch for falls or health shifts. They document what happened so you and your parent's doctor know what's going on.
Often the same week, sometimes within 48 hours. We work with the hospital's discharge team to understand what your parent needs and when. If you call us before your parent leaves Charlotte Hungerford, we can be ready. If discharge happens on a Friday, we can have someone there Monday or even the same day if it's urgent. Speed matters after a hospital stay.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you arrange payment directly with us. Insurance and Medicare cover medical home health, not live-in caregiving. That's actually an advantage, because it means no paperwork delays, no care limits, and your parent gets what they need for as long as they need it. We can discuss cost and flexibility when you call.
A home health aide comes for a few hours a few times a week, usually with a nurse managing a specific medical condition. 24-Hour Care is someone living in your home full time, awake at night, covering everything your parent needs. It's the difference between part-time help and constant safety. 24-Hour Care is for families who can't leave their parent alone.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, routines, any behavior we should know about, their living situation, and your family's priorities. We listen. Then we find someone whose strengths match what your parent actually needs, not just whoever is available. If the match isn't working after a few weeks, we can adjust.
We have backup caregivers trained and familiar with your parent's care. We also give you notice and help coordinate if someone needs to take time off. We don't leave you hanging. If there's an emergency, we can find coverage quickly, though we plan ahead whenever we can so your parent isn't disrupted.
