Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner, sitting at your parents’ table on Brush Hill Road.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock. They’re there for the 2 a.m. bathroom trip, the medication at 6 p.m., the breakfast at 7 a.m., and everything in between. It’s the difference between worrying all night and actually sleeping.
Day to day, families see their parent getting dressed safely, eating regular meals, taking medications on time, and having someone nearby if they fall or feel confused. Your parent stays home. You stop getting the calls that make your chest tight. The house is calm, and your parent knows someone they trust is always there.
If your parent came home from Danbury Hospital recently, or if they’ve been managing at home but you’re exhausted from the overnight shifts, we can step in quickly. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what safety actually looks like around the clock, not just the checklist version. We understand the difference between supervision and real care.
Nurse-founded means we’ve lived through what happens when there’s no one there at 3 a.m. We know how to position bed rails, keep hallways clear, and respond fast when your parent needs help getting up. You won’t be the one jolting awake at every sound.
We listen to what your parent actually needs and who they’d trust. We brief caregivers thoroughly before the first shift, so they know your parent’s routines, preferences, and the things that matter. When a good match happens, it stays.
24-Hour Care situations shift. A new medication, a doctor’s concern, a night when your parent feels anxious. You reach us, we listen, and we adjust. You’re not managing this alone.
We know the Danbury Hospital discharge process and what families need in those first days home. We’re here in New Fairfield, across all neighborhoods, and we show up when you need us, not when it’s convenient.

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
Our caregiver helps with morning hygiene, breakfast, medications, and dressing. Throughout the day, they keep your parent company, prepare meals, assist with bathroom needs, and manage light housekeeping related to your parent's care. At night, they're awake and nearby, monitoring for falls, bathroom trips, or any sign your parent needs help. The caregiver also watches for changes like new confusion, pain, or a missed appetite, and reports to you and your parent's doctor.
We often start within 48 hours if a caregiver is available in the New Fairfield area. We work with hospital discharge planners and your parent's doctor to make sure the first shift is properly briefed. If your parent has specific medical needs or equipment requirements from the hospital, we review those before day one. For urgent situations, we can sometimes accelerate the timeline.
24-Hour Care is typically private pay because it's custodial care, not skilled nursing. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock supervision or assistance with daily living. We're transparent about cost from the start and can discuss what your parent's savings or long-term care insurance might cover. It's an investment, but many families find it costs less than assisted living or nursing home care.
Home health aides come for a few hours a day, usually under a doctor's orders and covered by Medicare or insurance. 24-Hour Care is continuous, around the clock, and privately funded. We're here for supervision, safety, medication reminders, and the peace of mind that someone is awake when your parent needs help at midnight or 4 a.m. It's a completely different level of oversight.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, health conditions, routines, and what matters to them. We listen to what you need as the adult child, too. Then we match with a caregiver who has the experience and temperament for your parent, and we brief them thoroughly before the first shift. If the match isn't right, we work to find someone better.
We have backup caregivers we've trained and vetted. We communicate with your family as soon as we know there's a gap, and we fill it before your parent's 24-Hour Care is interrupted. You won't call one morning and find out we can't cover the shift. Continuity is everything in this work, and we protect it.
