24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home all day and all night, awake and present for anything that comes up. This isn’t a monitoring service or an app. It’s a real person there when nighttime falls happen, when medication timing matters, when your parent gets confused at 3 a.m., or when they simply can’t be left alone.
You’ll see a caregiver help with hygiene, meals, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and all the small moments in between. They keep an eye on what’s actually happening, they catch changes early, and they know exactly what to do in an emergency. For families in Sprague and surrounding areas, this means you can finally sleep without your phone clutched in your hand.
Many families come to us after a discharge from William W. Backus Hospital, when a parent goes home but isn’t yet ready to be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what safety looks like around the clock, not just what paperwork says it should look like. Our caregivers know the hospitals and doctors here in New London County, and they understand the transition home.
Our founder was a nurse who watched families struggle with around-the-clock care and gaps that felt dangerous. That’s why we train for nighttime falls, medication safety, and the specific fears that keep you awake. We know what good 24-Hour Care actually requires.
When we start 24-Hour Care, we don’t just send whoever’s available. We listen to what your parent needs, what your family needs, and what will work in your home. The caregiver we choose stays consistent so your parent isn’t relearning who’s there every shift.
When something changes at 2 a.m. or your parent has a new concern, you call and talk to someone who knows your situation. There’s no script, no voicemail maze. We adjust 24-Hour Care as your parent’s needs evolve.
We know Sprague, Norwich, Lisbon, Franklin, and Bozrah. We understand William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge process and we have relationships with doctors here. That local knowledge means faster setup and better coordination when 24-Hour Care starts.

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 arrives in the evening or morning and stays through the next full cycle, awake and responsive. They handle hygiene, meals, medication reminders, toileting, mobility help, and any changes in your parent's condition. They keep detailed notes on what happened, how your parent ate and slept, and any concerns. If your parent falls or becomes ill, the caregiver responds immediately and calls you and emergency services if needed. This isn't shift work with gaps, it's continuous presence.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on your parent's discharge date and our current schedules. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner so there's no gap between hospital care and home care. For urgent situations, we prioritize getting a caregiver in place fast. We'll give you an honest timeline when we talk.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you pay directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover round-the-clock in-home care because they classify it as custodial rather than medical. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We can discuss payment options and what 24-Hour Care costs for your parent's situation when you call.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day and is usually ordered by a doctor for recovery from illness or surgery. 24-Hour Care is around-the-clock presence in your home, covering days, nights, weekends, and holidays. Home health aide visits end after a certain period. 24-Hour Care continues as long as your parent needs it, providing the safety and consistency that families with a parent who can't be alone require.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, habits, mobility level, memory concerns, and what matters most to your family. We listen for language needs, dementia experience, physical strength requirements, and even things like whether they prefer morning or evening conversation. Then we match carefully rather than quickly. We want the caregiver to fit, not just fill a slot.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready, and we call you first to discuss who will cover. We don't surprise your parent with a stranger without talking to you. Our goal is consistency, so regular absences are rare, but when they happen, we handle it with notice and care. You're never left scrambling at the last minute.
