Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting around the table near Middlesex Hospital: your mom seemed confused about the time, and she’d already fallen once that week without telling anyone. You live forty minutes away, and you can’t stay with her every night. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes the thing that lets you sleep knowing someone’s there when she gets up at 3 a.m. to use the bathroom.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present. They’re not just sleeping in another room. They’re monitoring safety, helping with bathroom visits, catching falls before they happen, managing medications on time, and staying alert for changes in your parent’s condition that matter.
Day-to-day, you’ll see your parent getting help with personal care, meals prepared and eaten at regular times, medications given exactly when they’re due, and someone who knows them well enough to notice when something shifts. If your parent gets up in the middle of the night, there’s someone there. If they fall, someone knows immediately. If they seem confused or feverish, you get a call right away, not the next morning.
Families in Middletown often come to us after a discharge from Middlesex Hospital, when the hospital social worker says your parent isn’t safe alone but you can’t be there full-time. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what to watch for, how to prevent falls and infections, and when to flag something for their doctor. We know the Middlesex Hospital discharge process and the kinds of situations that lead families to need this.
Our founders are nurses. We don’t see 24-Hour Care as just having someone present. We see it as active prevention, knowing your parent’s baseline, catching the small changes that signal a problem before it becomes a fall or a hospital readmission. That background shapes how we train and match every caregiver.
We listen to what your parent needs, what your family’s schedule looks like, and what makes your parent comfortable. Then we don’t just send someone. We brief them on medication timing, fall risks, and the specific things that matter to your parent. Experience with 24-Hour Care placements means we know what actually works.
Your parent’s needs won’t stay static. If something shifts, or you need to adjust hours or coverage, we’re here to troubleshoot with you. You’re not dealing with a call center that closes. You’re working with people who get why this matters and can move quickly.
We’re local to Middletown and Middlesex County. We know Middlesex Hospital’s discharge planners, we’ve worked with families navigating that transition, and we understand the gaps between what hospital care covers and what your parent actually needs at 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.

Common questions
A caregiver is in your parent's home all 24 hours. They help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. They prepare meals and make sure your parent eats them. They manage medications, keep track of doctor appointments, and handle light housekeeping related to your parent's care. Most importantly, they're awake and alert at night, monitoring for falls, confusion, or other signs something's wrong. If your parent needs the hospital, the caregiver is the one calling for an ambulance immediately.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if we have the details we need about your parent's condition and medications. We work with Middlesex Hospital discharge planners to get the information right. If your parent is discharged without family there to set things up, call us the moment you know it's happening. We've helped families arrange care on short notice, and we know what the hospital needs to pass along to us.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of care at home unless your parent qualifies for Medicaid waiver programs in Connecticut, which have strict income and asset limits. We work with families on cost, and we can discuss what private pay actually looks like month to month. It's an investment families make when the alternative is assisted living or a facility, or when there's genuinely no one at home to provide safety.
Home health aides come for scheduled hours, usually a few times a week, and they're ordered by a doctor for post-illness recovery. 24-Hour Care is continuous presence. Someone is there at 2 a.m., at midnight, and at 6 a.m. The caregiver knows your parent well, can catch subtle changes, and isn't watching the clock. If your parent needs round-the-clock monitoring because of fall risk, medication complexity, or behavioral changes, home health aides won't fill that gap.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, what they're like with mornings versus evenings, whether they need someone quiet or more talkative, and what experience matters most. We're not pulling a random caregiver from a list. We're matching someone who understands 24-Hour Care, who fits your parent, and who's trained in whatever medical needs come up. It takes time, but it works.
We have backup coverage. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we fill that shift with someone we've vetted and trained who knows about your parent's situation. We don't disappear and leave you figuring it out on your own. We also build relationships with a few potential backups so your parent isn't meeting a stranger in the middle of a crisis.
