24-Hour Care in Pomfret, 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 first at Thanksgiving dinner, your mom’s hand shaking as she poured coffee, the exhaustion in her eyes that no amount of sleep seemed to fix. You’d been driving home every other night to check on her, but you couldn’t keep doing it, and she couldn’t stay alone anymore, not after the fall last month that she almost didn’t tell you about. That’s when you realized: she needed someone there, overnight, every night, someone who understood what could go wrong in the dark hours on Pomfret roads and in Pomfret homes.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the night when falls happen most, when confusion peaks, when medication times matter, when a parent simply can’t be left alone anymore. It’s not a bed in a facility. It’s someone in your house, someone who knows your parent, someone you trust.
Day to day, you’ll see overnight supervision, help with bathroom trips, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and someone alert to changes in behavior or health. During the day, your parent still has their routine, their dignity, their home. At night, you sleep knowing there’s a trained person there if something happens. You’re not driving an hour in the dark anymore. You’re not getting the 2 a.m. call you’ve been dreading.
If your parent was recently discharged from Day Kimball Hospital or is managing a condition that makes overnight care necessary, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between independence and facility placement. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical needs, medication timing, and the specific risks of nighttime care. We also understand what families actually need: honesty, experience, and someone who doesn’t disappear when things get hard.
We founded this agency because we’ve sat in hospital rooms and home living rooms and seen what happens at 3 a.m. when no one’s watching. Nighttime falls, medication confusion, and wandering are real. We staff and train for these moments specifically.
Your parent’s personality matters. Their habits matter. We spend time understanding who you need before we send anyone. The person in your home at night should be someone your parent recognizes and trusts, not a stranger rotating through.
A health crisis doesn’t wait for business hours. If your parent’s needs shift, if a medication changes, if you need to adjust the plan, you reach us and we respond. 24-Hour Care isn’t a contract you sign and disappear into.
We know the discharge process at Day Kimball Hospital. We know Pomfret neighborhoods, the roads, the local doctors. We’re not a national service parachuting in. We live here and we understand the specific reality of caring for aging parents in this community.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.

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
A caregiver is present in your parent's home from evening through morning, staying awake through the night. They help with bathroom visits, assist with any nighttime needs, monitor for falls or confusion, keep medications on schedule, and respond immediately if something changes. During daytime hours, you or other family members are typically involved, though we can arrange extended coverage if needed. The goal is safety, peace of mind, and your parent staying in their own home as long as possible.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your initial call, depending on your parent's specific needs and caregiver availability. If your parent is being discharged from Day Kimball, we work directly with the hospital's discharge team to understand medical needs and timing. We ask for a few days' notice when possible so we can match the right caregiver and brief them thoroughly on your parent's routine and any health concerns.
24-Hour Care is a private pay service, meaning you're not relying on insurance approval or waiting lists. This gives us flexibility to start quickly and match caregivers based on fit, not availability. We understand the financial weight of this decision. We're transparent about costs from the start, and we can discuss what coverage options you might have through long-term care insurance or other resources. Many families find that the security of 24-Hour Care is worth the investment, especially if the alternative is moving to a facility.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day and is focused on personal care tasks. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your home overnight, awake and alert, ready to respond to emergencies or needs at any hour. Home health aides are valuable for daytime support, but they leave at evening. If your parent can't be left alone at night, 24-Hour Care is the service that addresses that specific need. Many families use both, combined with family involvement during the day.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, preferences, habits, and any medical or behavioral needs before matching a caregiver. We ask about your parent's daily routine, what makes them anxious, what helps them sleep, any health conditions, and what kind of person they'd feel comfortable with at night. We then match based on experience and fit, not just availability. If the match isn't right, we adjust.
We have backup caregivers trained and briefed on your parent's needs. We don't leave families without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs time off, we provide a substitute who we've already vetted and who knows your parent's routine and health needs. In emergencies, you're in contact with us directly so there's no confusion about coverage or who's coming that night.
