24-Hour Care in Newington, 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 called from the Newington Public Library where she’d run into your mom’s neighbor, who mentioned your mom had fallen twice last week and wasn’t answering the phone some mornings. You realized you couldn’t keep calling during lunch breaks to check in, and your mom couldn’t keep living alone. That’s when you understood: she needed someone there, all night, every night. We help families in Newington find that peace.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home from evening through morning, and often through the full day. They’re there for the falls that happen at 2 a.m., the medication that needs to be taken at midnight, the confusion that surfaces when the house is dark. You get to stop being the person on call. Your parent gets someone present, someone awake, someone who knows them.
Day to day, you’ll see a caregiver helping with bathing, dressing, meals, and medication reminders. They’re watching for changes, keeping your parent safe during the hours when falls happen most. They’re there if your parent needs the bathroom at 3 a.m., if there’s pain in the night, if anxiety spikes when it’s quiet. Families tell us the relief is almost immediate, because someone is actually there.
Many of our Newington families come to us after a discharge from Hartford Hospital, when the doctor says your parent isn’t ready to be alone yet. We were founded by a nurse who spent years watching families in exactly this spot. We know what around-the-clock safety actually looks like, and we know how to listen when you describe what keeps you up at night.
Our founder was a nurse for decades, and she built this agency because she watched families struggle with the exact fear you’re having right now. We understand nighttime falls, the parent who wanders, the medication that gets skipped. We don’t use language that sounds corporate because this isn’t corporate. It’s real.
When you tell us about your parent, we listen for the details that matter. We place a caregiver who fits, we brief them fully, and we check in. If something isn’t working, we don’t make you fight to get it fixed. We’re here to adjust.
24-Hour Care isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. Your parent’s needs shift, your schedule changes, a new problem shows up. We answer when you call, and we move quickly to adapt. You’re not managing this alone.
We live here. We know the discharge process at Hartford Hospital, we know the neighborhoods of Newington, we know the doctors and the systems. That local knowledge means we can move fast and we understand what your parent is coming home to.

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.
Why families trust us

Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are 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 helps with personal care like bathing, dressing, and grooming. They prepare meals, remind about medications, and help with light housekeeping. They're watching for falls, changes in behavior, pain, or new confusion. At night, they're awake and available if your parent needs the bathroom, has pain, feels anxious, or falls. During the day, many families add shopping, appointments, and social time. We tailor it to what your parent actually needs.
We can often start within days of discharge, sometimes sooner if we know about it in advance. If your parent is still at Hartford Hospital and you know discharge is coming, we can meet with you before they come home and have a caregiver ready. We've worked with Hartford Hospital's discharge team many times, and we move fast because we know the window is tight.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and some home health aide hours, but not 24-hour residential care. We can explain what insurance might cover and what you'll pay out of pocket. Many families find ways to make it work, whether that's adjusting other expenses, using savings, or looking at other family support. We're honest about the cost from the start.
A home health aide usually comes for a few hours, a few days a week, and is typically covered by Medicare or insurance after a qualifying event. 24-Hour Care means a caregiver lives in or stays overnight and is available continuously. They catch the fall at 2 a.m. An aide coming three times a week won't be there when nighttime confusion hits. If your parent can't be alone, you need 24-Hour Care.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent, what they need, what they like, and what makes them feel safe. We listen for personality fit, not just skills. We have caregivers in the Newington area, and we take time to place someone who understands your parent's needs. If the match isn't right, we adjust. That's part of our process.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's needs and routines. We don't leave families without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we send a trained backup the same day. We brief them fully so your parent has continuity. You don't have to scramble or worry that care will drop.
