Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting at the dining table in the house on Undermountain Road. Your parent was quieter than usual, maybe a little confused about what time it was. You drove home with a knot in your chest, realizing you couldn’t keep calling to check in every two hours. That’s when 24-Hour Care stopped being an option and became a necessity.

24-Hour Care means someone is there with your parent around the clock, every single day. Not checking in. Being present. It’s eyes on them at 3 a.m. when confusion hits, hands steady if they get out of bed, someone who knows their routine so well they notice when something’s off.
On any given day, this looks like breakfast made the way they like it, medications taken on time, a walk if they’re up for it, meals that don’t sit untouched on the counter, and someone awake in the house at night. It means no more middle-of-the-night calls where you can’t get an answer. No more wondering if they fell and couldn’t reach the phone. No more you trying to work and parent at the same time.
If your parent came home from Sharon Hospital or sees their doctor here in Litchfield County, they know how important it is to have someone consistent right there. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what to watch for and when to call ahead. We don’t just show up, we listen to what the hospital discharge said and what your parent actually needs in their own home.
When your parent can’t be left alone, the nights are the hardest. We know what falls look like at 2 a.m., what confusion sounds like when they wake up, and how to keep them safe without them feeling watched. Being nurse-founded means we know the difference between normal aging and something that needs attention right now.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s full story, their habits, what makes them comfortable. We match based on experience and fit, not just scheduling. The person who comes to your door knows your parent before they arrive.
A medication change. A new anxiety at bedtime. A small health shift. You can reach us, and we adjust. We’re not handing off a problem, we’re solving it with you because we know 24-Hour Care means we’re part of your family’s routine now.
We know Sharon Hospital’s discharge process and the doctors here. We understand Salisbury’s neighborhoods, the roads, the who and what your parent knows. That local knowledge matters when you’re trusting someone with around-the-clock 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
A caregiver in your home from morning through night and overnight, handling personal care, meals, medications, mobility, and companionship. They're there during the highest-risk times, like early morning and late night, when falls and confusion happen most. They also do light housekeeping and errands so your parent's home stays functional. What you'll notice most is that your parent is never alone, and neither are you anymore.
We can usually have someone in place within a few days of discharge if you call us right away. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can coordinate with Sharon Hospital's discharge team and get briefed on your parent's specific needs. We move fast because we know that the first week home is the most vulnerable. If it's urgent, we talk same-day.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care at this level. We're honest about that upfront. What we can do is help you understand costs, discuss what might be possible through Medicaid in Connecticut if that applies to you, and find a payment structure that works for your family. We've worked with families through many different financial situations.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day and is often ordered by a doctor after an injury or surgery. They have a specific job and a time limit. 24-Hour Care is continuous, around the clock, with someone living in your parent's home or cycling through caregivers you know. It's the difference between getting help with a task and having peace of mind that your parent is never unattended. It's right for a parent who genuinely cannot be left alone.
Yes. We listen to what your parent needs, their personality, their habits, and any medical history. We match based on experience and personality fit, not just availability. Your parent will know their caregiver. The caregiver will know your parent's entire routine, not just the job. We also work with all areas of Salisbury, from the center to the more rural stretches, and we know the town.
We have backup coverage ready so your parent is never left without someone. You'll know ahead of time if there's a substitution, and we only send caregivers you've already met or approved. Consistency matters in 24-Hour Care, so we try hard to keep the same person with your parent. But we also make sure you're never in a position where you're scrambling for coverage at the last minute.
