24-Hour Care in Old Saybrook, 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 noticed it at Thanksgiving, after your parents’ visit to Middlesex Hospital. Your mom wasn’t steady on her feet, and your dad was terrified to leave her alone at night. You realized then that you couldn’t be there 24 hours a day, and neither could anyone else in the family. That’s when 24-Hour Care became the only option that made sense.

24-Hour Care means one caregiver stays in your parent’s home around the clock, awake during the day and sleeping light at night, ready to respond to falls, confusion, or any emergency. It’s not medical nursing, but it is constant presence, constant attention, and someone who knows your parent’s rhythms and what’s normal for them.
Day to day, you’ll see your parent getting help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medications. Your caregiver watches for signs of decline, keeps the home safe, and makes sure your parent isn’t falling at 2 a.m. with no one to hear them. Nights are calmer when you know someone is there.
After a Middlesex Hospital discharge, many Old Saybrook families come to us because 24-Hour Care bridges the gap between hospital care and living at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what post-hospital safety actually requires, not just what sounds good on paper.
Our founder has lived this. We know that 3 a.m. is when most falls happen, when confusion peaks, when families wake up in cold panic. We staff 24-Hour Care the way a nurse would, not the way a scheduling software suggests.
We meet your parent, listen to your family’s concerns, and spend time finding a caregiver who fits their personality and needs. A good match changes everything. A bad one changes nothing.
Your parent’s condition won’t stay static. We adjust staffing, swap caregivers if needed, and answer your calls at midnight without making you feel like you’re bothering us. You’re not.
We work with Middlesex Hospital regularly and understand what your parent needs the day they come home. We can start quickly, fill gaps the hospital can’t, and speak the language of local care.

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
One caregiver helps your parent with bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, and medications throughout the day. They're awake and alert, watching for falls or changes in behavior. At night, they sleep nearby but stay responsive to any call or sound that signals trouble. They'll help you track medications, manage appointments, and notice health changes early. It's presence plus practical help, all day and all night.
Often within 48 hours if your parent is medically stable. We coordinate directly with Middlesex Hospital's discharge team to understand what your parent needs the moment they walk through the door at home. Sometimes we can even meet your parent before discharge to introduce ourselves and ease the transition. The faster we start, the fewer nights your family sits up worried.
24-Hour Care is private pay in Connecticut. Medicare and most insurances cover home health aides for limited, skilled-care situations, but not continuous around-the-clock presence. We work with many families to understand what 24-Hour Care costs and how it fits their budget. Some families combine private pay caregivers with occasional Medicaid services if your parent qualifies.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours per week, under a care plan from your doctor or hospital. 24-Hour Care means a caregiver lives in your home, awake during the day and sleeping nearby at night, present for everything. It's the difference between having someone check in on your parent and having someone there when a fall happens at 2 a.m.
Yes. We ask you and your parent detailed questions about personality, routines, mobility, diet, and any behaviors that matter. We listen for what will make your parent feel safe and respected, not just supervised. We consider Old Saybrook geography too, so your caregiver can manage local errands and know the community. A good match is worth the conversation up front.
We have backup caregivers we've already briefed on your parent's needs, medications, and routines. We won't leave you scrambling or cancel on short notice. If your regular caregiver gets sick or needs a day off, we arrange a backup who your parent already knows. Your family's continuity of care is our job.
