24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and alert during the day and available through the night. It’s not just checking in. It’s continuous presence, medication reminders every time they’re due, meals prepared and eaten, bathroom safety, and someone there to catch them if they stumble at 3 a.m. We handle the hours when families can’t.
On a typical day, our caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, and grooming. They prepare meals you’ve planned, handle light housekeeping, and manage the small tasks that pile up when your parent is recovering or managing a serious condition. At night, they’re alert in the home, monitoring for falls, confusion, or any change that needs attention. If your parent needs William W. Backus Hospital again, we’re already there, knowing their habits and health patterns.
We’re a nurse-founded agency, which means we understand medical situations from the inside. We know what discharge instructions actually look like and why nighttime falls happen even when families are terrified. Being local to New London County, we work closely with William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge team and know the protocols in Griswold’s neighborhoods. That background matters when you’re trusting someone with your parent’s safety during the hours you can’t be there.
Our founder understands what happens at night when a parent wakes confused or unsteady. We don’t use scripts. We build 24-Hour Care around what your parent actually needs, because we’ve seen what happens when nighttime falls go unnoticed or when medication gets skipped because no one’s awake to remind them.
We listen to your family’s story before we assign anyone. We talk about your parent’s habits, fears, and rhythms. Then we match a caregiver who can handle the quiet hours, who won’t sleep through a call for help, and who understands that around-the-clock safety means being genuinely present, not just occupying a room.
24-Hour Care situations shift. Your parent develops a new symptom. You need to adjust the schedule. You call us, and you reach a person, not a voicemail. We coordinate with your other providers and adjust quickly, because we know that delays in 24-Hour Care can cost you peace of mind, or worse.
We know Griswold’s neighborhoods, the roads, the route to William W. Backus Hospital, and the discharge process there. When your parent comes home from the hospital, we can start 24-Hour Care immediately because we’re already familiar with the local hospital’s standards and timelines. That familiarity saves time and prevents gaps in safety.

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
24-Hour Care includes personal care like bathing and dressing, medication reminders at every scheduled time, meal preparation and supervision of eating, light housekeeping, and continual monitoring. During waking hours, your caregiver is actively engaged. During night hours, they're alert and available for bathroom assistance, fall prevention, and any emergencies. We also manage communication with your doctor and hospital if needed.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you contact us early. Being local to Griswold and familiar with William W. Backus Hospital's discharge process, we coordinate directly with the hospital and your family. If your parent is coming home with new medications or recovery needs, starting quickly prevents confusion and keeps them safe during a vulnerable transition.
24-Hour Care is a private pay service, not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. The cost reflects round-the-clock presence and the caregiver's full commitment to your parent's home. We'll be honest about what to expect, and we can discuss payment options that work for your family's situation. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal funds.
Home health aides typically visit a few hours a day or a few days a week for specific medical tasks. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your parent's home, providing continuous presence and safety oversight. Home health aides are often covered by insurance for post-hospital recovery. 24-Hour Care is private pay but offers the constant attention that prevents nighttime falls and ensures medications are never missed.
Yes. We listen to your parent's personality, routines, and fears before we suggest anyone. If your parent is a night owl, we'll match someone patient with late hours. If they're anxious about falls, we'll pair them with someone experienced and calm. Griswold families tell us that the right match makes the difference between tolerating 24-Hour Care and actually feeling safer because of it.
We always have backup coverage planned. If your regular caregiver is sick, we alert you immediately and arrange a trained replacement who knows your parent's needs and home layout. We don't leave gaps. Your parent's safety and routine matter too much for us to play phone tag when someone calls in. You'll know who's coming and when.
