Around-the-clock non-medical care at home, two caregiver shifts covering full day and night.

Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting at your parents’ kitchen table on Main Street. Your mom didn’t get up to refill the coffee like she always does. That night, you couldn’t stop thinking about what happens at 2 a.m. when she gets disoriented, or when she tries to walk to the bathroom in the dark. You realized you can’t leave her alone anymore, and you can’t be there all night yourself.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the night. It’s not a medical service, it’s a safety net. Someone is there when your parent wakes up confused at 3 a.m., when they need help getting to the bathroom, when they wander toward the stairs, when a medication reminder matters. You get to sleep knowing there’s another person in the house who knows what to do.
Day to day, you’ll see a caregiver help with bathing, dressing, meals, and reminders about medications. They stay alert during sleep hours, do light housekeeping, and keep an eye on your parent’s mood and habits. They’re there to prevent the falls that happen in darkness, to catch the small changes that mean something’s shifting, to be the steady presence your family can’t provide alone.
If your parent came home from Bridgeport Hospital recently, or if their doctor has said they can’t be unsupervised, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap while your family stays close. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what your parent actually needs at night, not just what sounds good on paper. We’ve built 24-Hour Care around the reality of what keeps older adults safe when fatigue and darkness are working against them.
We started because we saw families torn apart by the choice between safety and exhaustion. Our founders understood around-the-clock care from the inside. That’s why 24-Hour Care isn’t just a schedule, it’s a system built on what prevents nighttime falls and the panic that comes with them.
We don’t just send whoever’s available. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s habits, fears, and routines before they arrive. We match based on fit, not just availability. We look for people with real experience managing the specific challenges your parent faces.
Your parent’s needs will change. You might need more support, or less. You can reach us anytime, and we adjust without the runaround. That call at 6 a.m. on a Sunday gets answered.
We know the Bridgeport Hospital discharge process and the neighborhoods throughout Stratford. We work with local doctors and coordinate around how your parent’s life actually works here. We’re familiar with the systems your family navigates.

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.

Common questions
A caregiver is present in your parent's home for 24 hours. They help with personal care like bathing and dressing, prepare meals, manage medication reminders, assist with bathroom needs, and do light housekeeping. During daytime hours, they may help with activities or appointments. Through the night, they stay awake and alert, monitoring your parent and responding immediately if help is needed. We focus on safety, not just tasks.
We can often arrange 24-Hour Care within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on your parent's needs and our availability. Call us as soon as you know discharge is happening. We coordinate directly with Bridgeport Hospital staff and understand the rush to get safe care in place. We've worked with the hospital's discharge planners and can move fast when families need us.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're transparent about cost from the first conversation. Many families find that the cost is worth it compared to the alternative, which is often a move to assisted living or a facility. We can talk through options and what fits your budget.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours per week and provides specific medical or personal care ordered by a doctor. 24-Hour Care is continuous presence in your home, primarily for safety and support. It's designed for families who can't leave their parent alone and need someone there through the night. 24-Hour Care is not a medical service, it's a safety service.
Yes. We listen to what your parent needs, their habits, what they're afraid of, and what works for them. We match based on personality fit and experience, not just availability. We brief every caregiver before they start, and we're honest if we think someone isn't the right fit. It's that detail that makes 24-Hour Care actually work.
We have backup coverage so there's no gap. We notify you as soon as we know there's a change, and we send someone we trust to fill in. Continuity matters in 24-Hour Care, so we try hard to keep the same caregiver, but we never leave your parent without coverage. You can count on that.
