24-Hour Care in Lyme, 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 off during the holidays, sitting in your parent’s living room off Route 156. A fall in the night, unreported. A medication dose missed because no one was there to remind them at 2 a.m. You realized then that having someone check in once a day wasn’t enough anymore, and that’s when everything shifted.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is with your parent around the clock, awake and present through the night. It’s someone who knows their routine, their medications, their bathroom schedule, their fears. It’s the difference between hoping nothing goes wrong and knowing that if something does, there’s someone there.
Day-to-day, your parent gets help with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility. At night, the caregiver stays alert for falls, confusion, or medical changes. You get phone calls that aren’t emergencies. You get sleep. Your parent gets dignity and safety in their own home, not in an institution.
Families in Lyme who’ve had a parent discharged from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital often find that 24-Hour Care bridges the gap between independence and round-the-clock supervision. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what actually matters after a hospitalization: not just tasks completed, but prevention, early spotting of trouble, and knowing your parent is safe when you can’t be there.
We started this because we’ve lived the exhaustion of families who can’t leave their parent alone and the terror of a nighttime fall. Our nurse-founded background means we don’t just check boxes. We build safety around the specific person in front of us.
We talk to you first, then to your parent. We listen for personality, rhythm, and what matters. Then we match someone with the experience and temperament to be present, not just present.
A 24-Hour Care situation can shift fast. You reach us and we hear you. We adjust scheduling, we find coverage, we keep you informed without the runaround.
We know Lyme. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, the discharge process at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. We’ve worked with your doctors and your community long enough to understand what works here.

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 stays through morning, afternoon, evening, and night. They help with hygiene, dressing, meals, and toileting. They manage the home, keep an eye on medications, and stay alert for falls or changes in your parent's condition. At night, they're awake and in the home, checking regularly and responding immediately if something happens. The caregiver documents everything so you and your parent's doctor stay in the loop.
We move fast. Call us before discharge or the day after, and we typically have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours. We've worked with the hospital discharge coordinators many times. We coordinate directly with the care team so nothing falls through. Your parent won't be home alone wondering what's next.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover intermittent home health aide visits, not round-the-clock in-home care. We work with families on what's realistic and sometimes partner with other support to make it work. We're honest about cost upfront so there are no surprises.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day on a schedule set by insurance. 24-Hour Care means someone is there overnight and through the day, every day. The caregiver knows your parent deeply, spots small changes, prevents crises. It's continuous presence, not scheduled visits. The difference shows up at 3 a.m. when your parent is disoriented and there's someone calm right there.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, medical history, and what matters most to them. We ask about you too, what you need from this arrangement. We then match someone with the right skills and temperament. If it's not working after a week or two, we listen and adjust. Matching is the foundation of 24-Hour Care working well.
We have backup coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call in someone trained and ready. We tell you immediately so you're not left guessing. We don't leave gaps. We understand that consistency matters, so we keep the same person as much as possible, but we're prepared for the days when life happens.
