24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home overnight and around the clock, watching for falls, medication reminders, bathroom safety, and the small things that happen when everyone else is asleep. It’s not a nurse visit. It’s someone present, awake, and trained to respond when your parent needs help at 3 a.m. or gets confused about where they are.
On any given day, our caregivers help with toileting, dressing, meal prep, light housekeeping, and staying alert for signs of confusion or physical decline. They’re the eyes and ears your family can’t be when you’re working or managing other responsibilities. They also keep detailed notes so you know exactly what happened and what to watch for next.
After a hospital discharge from Waterbury Hospital, families often feel the pressure immediately. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical safety from the inside. Your caregiver knows when something doesn’t look right, when to flag it for the doctor, and how to prevent the fall or infection that lands your parent back in the hospital.
A nurse founded this agency because she saw families terrified of what happens when the lights go out. We know the real risks, nighttime falls, medication confusion, and the panic of not being able to reach your parent. That’s not theory for us. It’s why we do this work.
We don’t just send someone. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s habits, health history, and personality. We match based on experience and fit because a stranger showing up at midnight means nothing if they don’t understand your parent’s needs.
24-Hour Care situations shift fast. A new symptom, a medication change, a fall that worries you. You call us, we listen, and we adjust. You’re not managing a faceless service. You’re working with people who know your parent.
We understand the discharge process at Waterbury Hospital and the rhythm of care across Downtown, North End, and East End. We work with your doctors, your pharmacy, and your family as a single team.

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 overnight and during the day to help with bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, medications, and mobility. They watch for falls, confusion, or signs of infection and keep you updated. They also do light housekeeping and errands. The caregiver stays awake and alert, ready to respond to your parent's needs at any hour.
We can often begin within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. We work with your hospital discharge planner and your doctor to understand the care plan. If your parent needs 24-Hour Care immediately, we prioritize matching and briefing. We ask for as much notice as possible so we can get it right from day one.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy visits, but not round-the-clock companion care. Some long-term care insurance policies cover part of the cost. We can discuss options and payment plans with you. Many families find that preventing a fall or hospital readmission makes 24-Hour Care worth the investment.
A home health aide visits for a few hours per week, usually ordered by a doctor after surgery or illness. 24-Hour Care means someone is present overnight and throughout the day, seven days a week. It's continuous presence and responsiveness. Home health is skilled and task-focused. 24-Hour Care is about safety, prevention, and peace of mind around the clock.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, routines, health history, and what matters most to them. We listen for fit. A good match means your parent feels comfortable, trusts their caregiver, and doesn't feel like they have a stranger in their home. We've been matching families in Waterbury and New Haven County for years.
We have a backup system and call list so your parent is never left uncovered. We try to minimize changes, but when they happen, we use someone trained and familiar with your parent's care. We let you know immediately and keep communication open. Your safety net doesn't have a day off.
