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 it at Thanksgiving, sitting at your mom’s kitchen table on Groton Avenue. Your mom forgot she’d already taken her blood pressure medication, and there was a new bruise on her arm she couldn’t quite explain. You realized then that you can’t keep calling at midnight hoping she’ll pick up. She needs someone there, all night long.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present during the hours when falls happen most, when confusion peaks, when a medication gets missed. It’s not just overnight sitting. It’s active support with getting dressed, meals, bathing, movement around the house, and someone who knows how to catch a stumble before it becomes a fall.
Day-to-day, you’ll see someone who helps your parent through morning routines, stays present during appointments or visits, prepares meals that actually get eaten, and stays alert through the evening and night. The caregiver keeps detailed notes about sleep patterns, appetite, mood, and any changes. Your parent isn’t managing alone anymore, and you’re not waiting for a crisis call at 2 a.m.
Groton families often come to us right after discharge from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, when a parent is healing but not yet strong enough to be unsupervised. Because we’re nurse-founded, we understand what discharge planning actually means: we read the hospital notes, we know what red flags matter, and we brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific recovery. That foundation in nursing means our caregivers recognize when something’s wrong, not just when something’s obvious.
We started this because we’ve been the ones getting the middle-of-the-night call about a fall, the one finding a parent on the floor. That’s why we know the difference between a caregiver and someone trained to spot danger before it happens. Around-the-clock safety isn’t a slogan for us, it’s what we’ve lived.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to what your parent actually needs, what makes them comfortable, what their routine looks like. Then we match a caregiver who fits that picture and has real experience with nighttime care, mobility support, and the specific situations families can’t navigate alone.
A week into 24-Hour Care, you’ll notice something that needs adjusting, or your parent will. We answer when you call. We shift things, we listen, we don’t treat the first plan as the final plan.
We work with Lawrence + Memorial Hospital families regularly. We know how discharge happens, what questions to ask, how to bridge those first fragile days at home. Being local means we show up, we know the area, and we’re here when your parent needs us.

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 arrives and helps your parent wake, bathe, get dressed, and eat breakfast. During the day, they're present for appointments, they prepare lunch, they help with laundry or light tidying, and they stay alert to any changes in mood or energy. By evening, they're preparing dinner, helping your parent wind down, and staying awake through the night, monitoring sleep, responding if your parent gets up, and preventing falls in the dark. The caregiver keeps written notes on everything that matters: appetite, sleep quality, mood, any concerns.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us right away. The hospital will send discharge papers to us, we'll review them with you, and we'll brief your caregiver on exactly what your parent needs during recovery. If discharge happens on a Friday, we coordinate so there's no gap. The key is getting us the hospital paperwork and your parent's schedule as soon as you know it.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and some home health services, but not around-the-clock non-medical support. We're honest about that upfront. Many families use some combination of what insurance covers and private pay for the hours their parent truly needs someone present. We can discuss what makes sense for your situation.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a week and focuses on personal care tasks covered by insurance. 24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent's home all day and all night, managing the full rhythm of their life and staying awake to prevent nighttime falls and confusion. It's the difference between having help and having someone present who knows your parent's day completely.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions: Does your parent have mobility issues? Do they wake at night? Are they recovering from something specific? Do they need someone quiet or someone more engaged? We listen to what you know about your parent, and we match a caregiver with experience in exactly that situation. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. If your regular person is sick or needs time off, we shift in someone we've already vetted and who knows your parent's situation. You get a heads-up, we make sure the transition is smooth, and your parent's routine doesn't break. Consistency matters, and so does reliability when it matters most.
