Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, day and night, seven days a week. It’s not medical nursing, it’s presence and vigilance. Someone who’s there when your parent wakes at 3 a.m., who helps with bathroom visits, who watches for falls, who knows their medication schedule by heart.
On any given day, your parent gets help with dressing, bathing, meals, and movement through the house. The caregiver takes notes on how they’re feeling, what they ate, whether they slept well. You get updates without having to call and wonder. At night, the caregiver’s awake and listening. They’re there if your parent gets confused or needs to get up.
Families in Voluntoon often come to us right after discharge from William W. Backus Hospital, when they know their parent isn’t ready to be alone. Our team is nurse-founded, which means we understand what post-hospital recovery actually looks like and how to keep someone safe during those critical weeks. We’ve lived this work. We know what you’re feeling right now.
Falls happen at 2 a.m. Confusion peaks after dark. We built 24-Hour Care because we’ve seen families torn apart by the fear of what happens when no one’s watching. Our nurses know those risks and train every caregiver to see them coming.
A caregiver moves into your home for weeks or months. We talk with you first, listen to what your parent needs, and place someone who fits. We brief them on every detail. You’re not getting a stranger, you’re getting someone we’ve prepared.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication changes. They’re having a harder week. You call us and we listen, adjust the care plan, and make sure your caregiver knows what to watch for. You’re never managing this alone.
We understand the rhythm of care in Voluntown and the towns around it. We know William W. Backus Hospital and how to bridge the gap from discharge to home. We’re local, we’re reachable, and we show up.

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 helps with all activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, and movement around the home. They monitor medications, keep the home clean and safe, prepare meals, and stay alert for changes in your parent's condition. At night, they're awake and listening. If your parent needs to get up, they're there. If there's confusion or pain, they're there to help or call for medical support.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. When you call, we ask about your parent's condition and what the hospital discharge summary says. We match a caregiver and do a detailed briefing before they arrive. Some families coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge planner to time the caregiver's arrival with your parent coming home.
No, 24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or part-time home health aide services, but not round-the-clock residential care. We're transparent about what that costs and we can walk you through the financial reality. Some families use a combination of insurance-covered services plus our 24-Hour Care for the hours in between.
A home health aide typically visits for 2 to 4 hours a few days a week, usually after a doctor's order. Our 24-Hour Care caregiver lives in your home and is present 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They're there for nighttime falls, early morning confusion, medication timing, and the constant presence that prevents accidents. It's a different level of safety and attention.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, their medical history, what they need help with, and what matters to them. We listen for what kind of person would be a good fit. Then we match someone we trust and we brief them thoroughly before they start. A poor match is worse than no match, so we get this right.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. You know them ahead of time, so there's no stranger showing up. If your regular caregiver gets sick or needs a day off, we cover it. We understand that consistency is important to your parent and to you, so we keep backups ready and we communicate changes to you right away.
