24-Hour Care in Redding, 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 visited for Thanksgiving and noticed your mom wasn’t moving around the house like she used to, spending most afternoons on the couch near the front window facing Route 33. You realized that night that you couldn’t keep calling to check in every two hours, and you couldn’t afford to miss work anymore. That’s when you understood you needed someone there, all day and all night, so your family could actually breathe again.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present for safety and support. One person typically works day shift, another works nights, with continuity briefings between them so nothing falls through the cracks. Your parent isn’t alone at 3 a.m., isn’t struggling to get to the bathroom unsupervised, and isn’t sitting with a fall for hours before someone finds them.
On any given day, this looks like help getting dressed and showered, medication reminders taken seriously, meals prepared and eaten, mobility support to prevent falls, nighttime bathroom assistance without panic, and someone alert enough to notice changes, fevers, or confusion early. It also means your parent has company during the day, someone to talk to, to help with light housework, and to watch for the small signs that something’s getting worse.
Many of our Redding families come to us after a hospital stay at Danbury Hospital, when discharge planners say your parent isn’t ready to be alone but you know home is where they need to be. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what to watch for, what to report to doctors, and how to set up a plan that actually works day after day. That experience makes a difference in how we match caregivers and how we respond when things change.
A nurse founded this agency because she saw families wake up to crisis calls at 2 a.m. We know 24-Hour Care isn’t just about having bodies in the house, it’s about preventing the fall that changes everything. Our caregivers are trained to spot hazards, assist with balance, and respond immediately if something happens.
We don’t just send a warm body. We listen to what your parent needs, who they connect with, and what time of day matters most. Our day and night caregivers meet and brief each other daily so medication doses don’t slip, preferences get respected, and your parent gets consistency.
When you need to adjust hours, add a task, or report a concern at 11 p.m. on a Thursday, you reach a real person who knows your situation. We don’t disappear when the sun goes down, and we don’t make you feel like you’re bothering us.
We know Redding, Ridgefield, and how Danbury Hospital coordinates discharge. We work with your parent’s doctors here, we understand the neighborhoods you’re in, and we show up knowing the community.

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
A 24-Hour Care plan covers personal care like bathing and dressing, medication reminders, meal preparation, mobility support, fall prevention, nighttime bathroom help, and someone alert to notice changes in health or mood. The caregiver keeps the home safe, tidied, and safe for walking. Most importantly, your parent has a trained person nearby every hour, day and night, so you're not the only one watching for problems.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on availability and how we match caregivers to your parent's specific needs. We work with the hospital's discharge team to understand what your parent needs and make sure our team is ready. If timing is urgent, we'll tell you straight away what we can do and when.
24-Hour Care is private pay in most cases, which means you're paying out of pocket. Medicare covers some home health services but not round-the-clock personal care. We're honest about cost and can help you think through what you need versus what you can afford, and some families use a combination of approaches.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually through an insurance referral or Medicare. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your home all day and through the night, awake and responsible for safety at 3 a.m. The difference is presence, continuity, and the ability to catch a problem before it becomes a hospital visit.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, what they value, and what time of day matters most to them. We match based on personality, experience, and sometimes gender preference if that matters to your family. A good match takes time, and we'd rather take two weeks to get it right than rush.
We have a backup plan and other caregivers trained to step in. We also tell you in advance if we know someone's going to be out, so you're never surprised. Our goal is consistency, but we also make sure your parent is covered and that you're not scrambling when life happens.
