24-Hour Care in Roxbury, 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 something at Thanksgiving dinner near the covered bridge, the way your mom hesitated on the stairs. A few weeks later, she fell at 3 a.m. and didn’t call anyone. You realized then that you couldn’t keep working full-time and also keep her safe through the night. That’s when 24-Hour Care starts to feel less like a luxury and more like the only honest choice.

24-Hour Care means we’re there when you can’t be, day and night, watching for the things that happen when you’re asleep or at work. One caregiver stays in your home and covers all the hours, handling medication reminders, meals, mobility support, bathroom assistance, and the quiet presence that lets your parent stay where they’re comfortable. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s constant attention to safety and well-being.
On a typical day, you’ll see someone who manages breakfast and lunch, who sits nearby when your parent is awake, who helps with dressing and personal care, who notices if something feels off. At night, they’re there for bathroom trips, for falls, for the middle-of-the-night confusion that happens more often than you’d expect. They keep the house safe, monitor for anything new, and document what’s happening so you know exactly how your parent spent the day.
If your parent was recently discharged from New Milford Hospital or is managing a condition at home in Roxbury, 24-Hour Care fills the gap between independence and the need for full-time oversight. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical history, medication timing, and the signs that something’s getting worse, not just better. That foundation shapes how we screen caregivers and how we prepare them for the reality of what your family actually needs.
Our founder built this agency after watching a parent’s overnight fall change everything. We know the weight of knowing your parent might not be able to get up safely, and we know that one moment of prevention is worth more than any amount of after-care. That’s why every caregiver we place for 24-Hour Care is trained to recognize fall risk and to be present before something happens.
We don’t just send someone over. We listen to what your parent is like, what time of morning they’re sharpest, whether they’d rather talk or sit quietly. We brief every caregiver on the history, the habits, the things that matter to your family. That preparation makes the difference between a caregiver who’s just there and one who actually fits.
If a medication needs adjusting or your parent’s mood shifts, you don’t call a voicemail. You reach us, and we listen and adjust. 24-Hour Care situations aren’t static, and we treat each day like we need to earn your trust again.
We work regularly with New Milford Hospital and other providers in the area. When your parent comes home, we already understand the paperwork, the follow-up appointments, and the specific way things work here. We’re local enough to show up the day you need us, not three days later.

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 stays with your parent from evening through morning or through the full 24 hours, depending on your arrangement. They handle all personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, toileting and bathroom safety, dressing, and mobility support. They're awake and alert through the night for bathroom trips, falls, confusion, or any change. During the day, they provide companionship, help with light housekeeping related to your parent's care, and keep detailed notes about how your parent is doing so you're never wondering what happened while you were gone.
If you call us before discharge, we can often have someone in place within 24 to 48 hours. We work with New Milford Hospital's discharge planners regularly and understand the urgency. If your parent is already home and you're realizing you need help, we can still move quickly, though placement depends on availability. The first conversation tells us whether you need emergency coverage or whether we have a few days to make the right match.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock non-medical caregiving. We're transparent about cost and can walk you through what 24-Hour Care looks like financially for your situation. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they use savings to bridge until Medicaid eligibility if that's a path forward. We help you understand the numbers.
A home health aide comes for a few hours per week or per day and focuses on personal care under a medical plan. They leave when their shift ends. 24-Hour Care means someone is there continuously, overnight and all day, as a presence in the home for safety and support. It's not tied to a medical diagnosis or a doctor's orders, which means it's more flexible and can start faster. It's also significantly more involved, since the caregiver is managing the whole day and night, not just a scheduled window.
Yes. We listen to what your parent is like, their habits, their personality, and what matters most to your family. Some families need someone very gentle and soft-spoken, others need someone who can encourage movement and engagement. We ask detailed questions about your parent's medical history, mobility level, any behaviors we should understand, and what a good day looks like. We then match from our available caregivers and prepare that caregiver thoroughly before the first shift.
We have backup coverage. If your caregiver calls in sick or an emergency comes up, we contact you as soon as we know and get a replacement in place. We maintain a network of trained caregivers across Litchfield County so we're not leaving you hanging. You'll know about any change before your caregiver's shift starts, and we'll use someone you've met before whenever possible.
