24-Hour Care in Thomaston, 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 Thanksgiving dinner, worried. She’d noticed your mom moving slower around the kitchen at the old colonial on Main Street, and then there was the fall at 2 a.m. that your mom didn’t mention until days later. You realized then that nights were the real problem, the hours when she was alone and anything could happen. That’s when 24-Hour Care made sense.

24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent around the clock, every single day. We’re talking overnight supervision, help getting to the bathroom safely, medication reminders at 3 a.m., meals prepared, light housekeeping, and someone awake and alert if your parent needs anything. It’s the difference between worrying all night and actually sleeping.
On a typical day, you’ll see a caregiver present through the evening and night, handling the hours when falls happen most often. Morning care includes bathing and dressing, breakfast, and a full handoff to daytime support or family. We watch for signs that matter, like changes in appetite or confusion, and we’re there if your parent needs help getting steady on their feet at 4 a.m.
If your parent came home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital after a hospital stay, or if they’re managing ongoing health needs, 24-Hour Care fills the gap that family members alone can’t cover. Our caregivers are trained in safety protocols and recognizing when something has shifted. Being nurse-founded means we built this service because we’ve seen what happens when aging parents are left unsupervised at night, and we know what actually prevents crises.
We started this work because we’ve lived it. A nurse-founded agency means we know exactly what around-the-clock supervision looks like and why it matters when your parent is at risk for falls or needs help in the middle of the night. We train caregivers to stay alert and present, not just awake in the other room.
We don’t send someone random to your home. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what will make them feel safe and comfortable. Then we brief our caregiver fully and match based on experience and fit. You get consistency, not rotating strangers.
Life shifts. Your parent’s needs change, a medication gets added, or something feels off. You call us directly, and we respond. We adjust the care plan and problem-solve with you, not around you.
We know Thomaston, Torrington, Watertown, and the surrounding towns. We understand the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge process and work with local providers. That local knowledge matters when timing and coordination are everything.

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 stays overnight and through the morning, helping with toileting, bathing, dressing, and meals. They're awake and present to prevent falls, administer medications on schedule, and notice changes in your parent's condition. During the day, we coordinate with family or additional support. Evening includes dinner, preparing for bed, and settling in for the night watch. It's constant, attentive presence, not just someone sleeping in the next room.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if we're notified early. We coordinate directly with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge planners, get the medical details, and brief a caregiver on your parent's specific post-discharge needs. If you're facing a discharge date, call us as soon as you know. The faster we have information, the faster we can have someone ready.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning it's paid directly by the family. Medicare and most insurance cover medical home health services, which are different. We're set up for families who need comprehensive safety coverage around the clock and are paying out-of-pocket or using savings. We're transparent about costs upfront and work with you on scheduling to fit your budget.
A home health aide typically visits a few hours a week and handles specific tasks like bathing or cleaning. 24-Hour Care means someone is present all night and all morning, preventing falls before they happen, catching problems early, and being there for any need at any hour. It's continuous supervision and support, not scheduled visits.
Yes. We listen to everything, your parent's personality, their habits, what makes them feel comfortable, and what skills the caregiver needs. We have caregivers with experience in dementia care, mobility assistance, post-surgical recovery, and chronic illness management. We match for fit, not just availability, and we introduce the caregiver before the care starts so you're all on the same page.
We have backup caregivers trained and briefed on your parent's routine and needs. We call ahead if we know there's a change coming, and we make sure continuity matters. Your parent doesn't wake up to a stranger. We coordinate coverage carefully so your parent's routine stays steady and safe.
