24-Hour Care means someone is there, awake and present, every hour of every day and night. It’s full-time in-home care for parents who need constant supervision, whether it’s for safety after a fall, medication management, or simply because they can’t be left alone anymore. One caregiver lives in your home or works extended shifts so your parent has eyes-on support around the clock.
Day to day, you’ll see someone helping with meals and hygiene, keeping an eye on medications, assisting with mobility, managing nighttime bathroom trips, and being alert to changes in your parent’s condition. Many families tell us the biggest relief is knowing someone’s awake at 3 a.m. when their parent needs help. It’s the difference between worry and actual peace.
In North Stonington and across New London County, families often come to us after a hospital stay at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital or when aging at home stops feeling safe. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical needs and safety protocols in ways that matter for round-the-clock care. Your caregiver isn’t just present, they’re trained to notice what changes and to communicate clearly with you and your parent’s doctor.
Being nurse-founded means we know the specific risks of overnight hours, medication timing, and early-morning confusion. We match caregivers who’ve managed these situations before and train everyone on how to prevent falls, respond to them, and know when to call 911. Your parent isn’t just supervised, they’re protected by someone who’s been trained in what actually goes wrong at night.
We brief every caregiver on your parent’s routines, preferences, and medical history before they arrive. You get someone who understands your specific family, not a rotation of strangers. We listen to what matters to you and take time to place the right person in the right home.
Life shifts. Your parent’s needs change, a medication gets adjusted, or you need to adjust the care plan on short notice. You’ll have direct access to our team, not a voicemail. We’re here to adjust care in real time, not weeks later.
We’re local to New London County and work with the care coordinators at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital regularly. We understand their discharge process, we know how to pick up the care timeline they recommend, and we can start quickly after your parent comes home. That continuity matters.

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 helps with bathing and dressing, prepares meals and makes sure your parent eats and drinks, manages all medications on schedule, helps with toileting and mobility, does light housekeeping related to your parent's care, and stays alert during the night. They're also watching for changes in mood, appetite, or physical condition and communicating those to you. It's not just presence, it's active support.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours, depending on availability and the complexity of your parent's needs. We work closely with the hospital's care team to understand the discharge plan and any special instructions. The faster we can get started, the fewer days you're managing overnight care on your own. Call us as soon as discharge is being planned so we can coordinate timing.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care, which is why we're transparent about cost from the start. We can discuss what rates look like for your situation and help you think through the financial picture. Many families find ways to make it work because the alternative is far more expensive.
Home health aides typically come for a few hours a few days a week, usually ordered by a doctor after hospitalization. 24-Hour Care means someone is there every single day and night. Aides handle specific tasks, while 24-Hour caregivers are present for safety, supervision, and all the moments in between. It's the difference between help with your parent and having someone ensure your parent is never alone.
Yes. We'll talk through your parent's personality, routines, medical needs, and what matters most to your family. We listen for things like whether they need someone more hands-on or someone quieter, if they have specific cultural or language preferences, and what your family's schedule looks like. Then we place someone with experience in those areas. It's not random, and it's not one-size-fits-all.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready so there's no gap in care. We let you know as soon as possible if there's a change and we make sure the replacement caregiver is briefed on your parent's specific needs. Continuity matters, which is why we try hard to keep the same person, but when that's not possible, we make sure the transition is smooth and safe.
