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 across from your mom at the kitchen table on Chestnut Street. Your mother’s hands shook a little more. She didn’t want to be left alone at night anymore. You realized then that you couldn’t be the one awake at 2 a.m. if she fell, and neither could your sister from Waterford.

24-Hour Care means someone trained and reliable is there every hour, every night, every morning. We’re talking about a caregiver who knows your parent’s routine, watches for falls, helps with medications, and is awake when your parent wakes up at 3 a.m. worried or disoriented. It’s different from checking in once a day. It’s presence.
Day to day, you’ll see: meal prep and reminders to eat, help with bathing and dressing, medication management timed right, toileting assistance without rushing, nighttime monitoring so falls are caught and reported immediately, and someone your parent trusts enough to sleep better knowing they’re there. Families tell us the relief is real. You stop driving home with your hands tight on the wheel.
In Montville and across New London County, we know the discharge process at William W. Backus Hospital and what families face when a parent comes home needing more than daytime support. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical needs, fall prevention, and how to spot changes that matter. That changes everything about how we do 24-Hour Care.
Being nurse-founded means we know what prevents a fall at 2 a.m. and what happens after one occurs. We’re not just present, we’re trained to catch the early warning signs, respond quickly, and communicate clearly with you and your parent’s doctors. That kind of experience matters when safety is 24 hours a day.
We don’t send whoever is available. We learn your parent’s personality, habits, and needs before a caregiver arrives. We brief every person on your parent’s medical history, preferences, and what matters to them. Then we keep the same caregiver matched when possible, building real trust.
24-Hour Care isn’t set and forget. Your parent’s needs shift. Our nurses answer your calls, adjust the plan, and make sure your caregiver knows the changes. You’re not navigating this alone.
We’re local to Montville and the surrounding towns. We know William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge timeline, which neighbors often hire us, and what it means to be Groton, Norwich, or Waterford close. That familiarity helps us start faster and adjust easier.

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 around the clock. They help with bathing, dressing, toileting, meal prep, medication reminders, and mobility assistance. At night, they stay alert while your parent sleeps, watching for falls, confusion, or medical changes. They report everything to you and keep detailed notes. It's continuous supervision and support, not just visits.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on availability and your parent's needs. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge team, get all relevant medical information, and brief your caregiver before they arrive. If your situation is urgent, let us know. We've done many post-hospital placements and know how to move fast.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you cover it directly. Medicare and most insurance don't cover round-the-clock residential care. We're transparent about costs and can discuss payment options with you. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We're here to help you understand what's involved before you decide.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a few times a week and is often covered by insurance for medical reasons. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in or is present full-time, overnight, and every day. The level of presence, supervision, and cost are completely different. 24-Hour Care is for families who need constant support, especially at night.
Yes. We don't assign caregivers randomly. We learn about your parent's personality, medical history, routines, and what matters to them. We then match someone with the right skills and temperament. Before they start, we brief them thoroughly on everything they need to know. That matching process is one reason families stay with us.
We maintain backup coverage so there's always someone trained and familiar with your parent's care plan. We work hard to keep the same caregiver in place because continuity matters. If an absence happens, we communicate it to you early and send someone we've vetted who knows the situation. Your parent's care doesn't stop.
