24-Hour Care in Terryville, 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 called after the holiday dinner at your parents’ Terryville home, worried about something she noticed: your dad getting up at 2 a.m. to find the bathroom, unsteady in the dark. You live an hour away, and you can’t move in. You need someone there all night, every night, someone trained to catch what you can’t see from a distance. That’s when 24-Hour Care made sense.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home from bedtime through breakfast and beyond, awake and alert for the whole shift. They’re there for the falls that happen at 3 a.m., the medication that needs to be taken at an odd hour, the confusion that surfaces when it’s dark, the bathroom visits, the sudden pain or breathing change. It’s not a nurse checking in twice a week. It’s continuous presence.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with toileting and hygiene during night hours, keeps watch while your parent sleeps, responds immediately if they get out of bed, assists with early morning routines, and stays until the daytime caregiver arrives or your family takes over. They also track what happened during their shift, notes you can read the next morning, so you know your parent’s patterns and any concerns. Many families tell us they finally sleep themselves once 24-Hour Care starts.
After discharge from Bristol Hospital, families in Terryville often realize their parent isn’t ready to be alone at night, and that’s when this service saves lives. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of aging at home, not just the comfort side. We know what to watch for, how to respond, and when to call the hospital back. We work with your parent’s doctors and understand the Litchfield County care network.
We started this work because we saw families terrified of nighttime falls and midnight emergencies. Every caregiver in 24-Hour Care knows the signs of stroke, infection, medication side effects, and falls. We’re not trained to replace nurses, but we’re trained to recognize when something’s wrong and act fast.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to your parent’s habits, preferences, and medical situation, then match a caregiver who fits. Some parents need someone calm and quiet at night. Others need someone who’ll engage if they wake up confused. We make that match work.
If your parent gets sick, if a medication changes, if you notice something new, you call us and we adjust. You don’t have to wait for a scheduled meeting. 24-Hour Care families reach us directly, and we respond.
We know Terryville, the hospitals your doctors use, the discharge process at Bristol Hospital, and the specific challenges of care in our area. When we say we know your community, we mean it.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver stays overnight and into the morning, handling toileting, hygiene, medication reminders, and fall prevention. They monitor your parent while sleeping, respond to any nighttime need, and help with early morning routines like dressing and breakfast. They document what happens during their shift so you know your parent's patterns. It's eyes-on care when your parent is most vulnerable.
We can usually start within 48 hours of your request. If discharge happens on a Friday and you need coverage Saturday night, we make that happen. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner and your parent's doctor to understand what level of care is needed right away. The faster we start, the safer everyone feels.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare covers some home health services, but not continuous overnight supervision. Some people use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they budget for it themselves. We're transparent about cost from the first call so there are no surprises.
Home health aides typically visit for a few hours a day on a schedule set by Medicare or insurance. 24-Hour Care means someone is there all night and into the morning, awake and present the whole time. It's continuous supervision, not scheduled visits. The difference matters most when falls or emergencies happen after midnight.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, medical needs, and preferences. Do they wake up confused and need a calm voice? Are they private about toileting? Do they prefer someone who's chatty or quiet? We listen and match a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. If the match isn't right, we adjust.
We have backup coverage. If your caregiver is sick, we call in a trained replacement so your parent isn't left without overnight care. We don't cancel shifts. We notify you immediately if there's a change, and the backup caregiver reviews notes from the regular caregiver so there's continuity. Your parent's safety doesn't have gaps.
