Around-the-clock non-medical care at home, two caregiver shifts covering full day and night.

Your sister noticed at Thanksgiving that your mom wasn’t quite herself, and a week later she called saying she’d fallen in the night and didn’t tell anyone. You realized then that you can’t leave her alone anymore, and the thought of her sitting in the dark terrified you. That’s when 24-Hour Care stops being abstract and becomes the only answer that lets you sleep.

24-Hour Care means we’re there around the clock, every single day. One caregiver stays overnight and into the morning, then hands off to daytime support. You’re not hiring a rotation of strangers, you’re building a consistent presence in your parent’s home so falls get caught, medications get taken, and someone is awake when your parent needs help at 3 a.m.
Day to day, you’ll see a caregiver who knows your parent’s routine, checks in regularly, helps with personal care, meal prep, and light housework. They’re watching for changes, staying alert, and making sure your parent feels secure. At night, they’re there, awake and ready, so the fear of a fall going unnoticed disappears.
Many Newtown families turn to us after a stay at Danbury Hospital, when doctors say your parent isn’t ready to be alone but home is where they need to be. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical complexity, medication timing, and the specific safety concerns that keep families up at night. Our team knows what discharge planners at Danbury mean when they say ‘close monitoring required,’ and we deliver it.
Being nurse-founded means we recognize that 3 a.m. is when most falls happen, when confusion peaks, and when your parent is most at risk. We don’t rotate caregivers every night, we build continuity so the person watching your parent knows exactly how they move, what wakes them, and what they need before they ask.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, schedule, and specific needs before we introduce a caregiver. You get briefed on who will be in your home, why we matched them, and what to expect. This isn’t a staffing service, it’s a relationship built on the right fit.
If your parent’s health shifts or you need to adjust the schedule, you reach us, not a call center. We’re local, we’re reachable, and we adjust without making you feel like you’re asking for something impossible.
We know Newtown, we know the Danbury Hospital discharge process, and we understand the geography and the hospitals your parent might use. That matters when coordination with doctors or emergency situations require it.

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
Your caregiver arrives in the morning or afternoon and stays through the next morning. They help with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, and household tasks. At night, they're awake in your parent's home, available if your parent needs the bathroom, has a fall, can't sleep, or becomes confused. During the day, they're active, keeping your parent engaged and safe. It's not just supervision, it's someone present and attentive for 24 hours.
We can often start within days of discharge if we have notice. Danbury discharge planners call us regularly, and we coordinate directly with their team. If your parent is coming home this week and needs immediate coverage, call us right away so we can brief your parent's nurse and get the right caregiver in place. Speed matters when safety is the question.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you and your family cover the cost directly. Medicare covers home health services like therapy and skilled nursing visits, but not live-in or round-the-clock personal care. We can help you understand what your parent might qualify for through other programs, but honesty first, 24-Hour Care is an investment you make to keep your parent safe at home.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours, a few times a week, usually ordered by a doctor after hospitalization. 24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent all day and overnight, every single day. The difference is presence, continuity, and the ability to catch problems before they become emergencies. If your parent can't be alone, 24-Hour Care is the service that makes that possible.
Yes. We listen to what matters: Does your parent need experience with dementia, physical limitations, or specific medical conditions? Do they prefer a certain personality or background? We don't just send whoever is available. We match thoughtfully, brief you on who's coming and why, and we adjust if the fit isn't right. Your parent deserves a caregiver they're comfortable with.
We have backup caregivers who know your parent and your home. We don't leave you scrambling or asking a stranger to take over. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we step in quickly with someone familiar. We also brief backups on your parent's routine so transitions are smooth. Consistency is the whole point of 24-Hour Care, and we protect it.
