24-Hour Care in Ledyard, 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 it at Thanksgiving, sitting at your parents’ kitchen table on Colonel Ledyard Highway. Your mom kept losing her train of thought, and your dad was too tired to stay awake past dinner. You realized then that one of you would have to move in, or find someone who could be there all night, every night. That’s when 24-Hour Care became real for us.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present through the night. We’re here to watch for falls when your parent gets up at 2 a.m., to help with medications that can’t be missed, to respond if something feels wrong. It’s the difference between you sleeping in your own bed instead of in a chair by your parent’s door.
You’ll see your caregiver handle bathing, dressing, meals, and toileting with patience and respect. They’ll notice small changes in your parent’s appetite or mood that matter. They’ll keep the house running, answer the phone when you can’t, and give you back time with your family instead of time spent worrying.
If your parent was recently discharged from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, we know that transition well. We work with the discharge planners there and understand what post-hospital care actually looks like. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to spot early warning signs and when to flag something for a doctor. That experience shapes everything we do.
We’ve lived this ourselves. Nighttime falls, missed medications, a parent who wanders, the fear that you won’t hear them call. Being nurse-founded means we know exactly what around-the-clock safety looks like and how to build it into someone’s home.
We don’t just send the next available person. We listen to what your parent needs, who they might connect with, and what experience matters most. We brief our caregivers thoroughly so they step in ready, not learning on the job.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication changes, a new symptom appears, or you need flexibility on a particular week. We’re here to talk through it and adjust, not hand you a contract and disappear.
We know Ledyard, Groton, Stonington, and the discharge process at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. We’re not a national service trying to figure out your area. We’re your neighbors who do this work.

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
Your caregiver arrives in the evening and stays through the next morning. They help with dinner, medications, and bedtime routines. Through the night, they're awake and alert, ready if your parent needs to use the bathroom, feels confused, or falls. In the morning, they help with breakfast, bathing, and dressing, then hand things off to you or day services. Meals, laundry, light housekeeping, and companionship are all part of it.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if we have notice. Call us as soon as you know your parent is coming home. We'll work with the hospital's discharge team and get a caregiver oriented to your parent's specific needs quickly. For planned discharges, earlier is better so we can be truly ready.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover limited home health aide visits, but not round-the-clock presence. We're honest about the cost because families deserve to know what they're paying for. For many, it costs less than assisted living while keeping your parent in their own home.
Home health aides typically visit a few hours a day and are often covered by insurance for post-hospital recovery. 24-Hour Care means someone is there all night and all day, every day. They're not just helping with tasks, they're monitoring your parent's safety and well-being across all hours when falls and confusion are most likely to happen.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about who your parent is, what they need, and what kind of person might be a good fit. We look for caregivers with experience in your parent's specific situation, whether that's dementia, recovery from a stroke, or managing multiple medications. We don't just assign whoever is available.
We have backup coverage so your parent's care doesn't break. We brief our backup caregivers on your parent's needs and routines ahead of time so transitions are smooth. We'll also call you immediately if coverage changes so there are no surprises.
