Your sister noticed something at Thanksgiving dinner near the Willimantic library, the way your mom hesitated before standing, how she didn’t quite trust her own balance. That night, you couldn’t stop thinking about her alone at 2 a.m. A fall in the dark, no one there to hear it. You realized you can’t keep leaving work early or skipping sleep to keep watch. You need someone there, every hour, so your family can finally breathe.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver is there through the night and into the morning, staying awake while your parent sleeps, ready if they need to get up, use the bathroom, take medication, or just need someone nearby. It’s not hospital care, but it’s constant presence in your home. You’re not piecing together overnight aides and daytime help anymore. One person, trained and matched to your parent, is there for the full span.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with morning routine, meal prep, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and staying alert during the hours when falls happen most. They’re watching for signs of confusion, infection, or pain. They’re the person who notices your parent isn’t eating like usual, or that a wound needs attention. You get a brief each morning and evening about how the night went, what your parent ate, any concerns that came up.
If your parent is coming home from Windham Hospital or facing months of recovery at home, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between discharge and independence. Our nurses understand what doctors look for after hospital stays, and we know the Windham County care landscape well. We’re nurse-founded, which means we staff this service the way nurses would want to manage their own families, with clear communication, real training, and someone you can trust to catch problems early.
We built this service because our own nurses knew what it felt like to leave a parent overnight and worry about falls, missed medications, or silent emergencies. That fear shaped how we train, staff, and monitor 24-Hour Care. You’re not hoping everything goes fine, you’re getting someone who thinks like a nurse about what can go wrong at 3 a.m.
We don’t just send someone over. We meet with you first, learn what your parent actually needs, what their personality is like at night, what medications matter most, where they’re likely to fall. Then we match a caregiver with experience in those specific situations, not just anyone available. Your caregiver knows your parent’s routine before night one.
A parent’s health changes. Medications shift. What worked in September doesn’t work in December. You can reach us when you need to adjust something, talk through concerns, or swap a caregiver. You’re not managing this alone.
We know the Windham Hospital discharge process, the doctors and nurses there, how care transitions work locally. We staff caregivers across Willimantic, Windham, Coventry, Andover, and Plainfield. We’re not a distant call center. We understand the towns and the people here.

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
Your caregiver is present overnight and through the morning, staying awake while your parent sleeps. They help with bathroom needs, medication reminders at night, meal prep in the morning, and light housekeeping. They're watching for signs of confusion, pain, infection, or falls. You get a brief each morning about how the night went, what your parent ate, any concerns. The service is tailored to your parent's actual routine, not a one-size checklist.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us before your parent leaves the hospital. We work with your discharge planner to understand post-hospital needs, medications, and restrictions. If it's urgent, we move faster. Our process is streamlined for exactly this situation, because we know how fragile the first week home can be.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you pay directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover round-the-clock supervision in your home. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or combine 24-Hour Care with other benefits. We're honest about cost upfront so you can plan. We can discuss payment options when you call.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day and helps with personal care and light tasks. 24-Hour Care means someone is there overnight and into the morning, providing constant presence and supervision. It's for families who can't leave their parent alone at night, who are worried about falls in the dark, or whose parent needs medication or toileting help during sleep hours. The difference is presence and readiness, not just hourly visits.
Yes. We start by learning about your parent, their health history, personality, what time they typically wake, whether they wander at night, what medications matter most. Then we match a caregiver with experience in those situations. We don't just fill a slot, we build the fit. After matching, we brief the caregiver thoroughly before they start so nothing surprises them on night one.
We have a backup plan. You're not suddenly without coverage. We communicate early if a caregiver needs time off, and we line up a trained replacement who has been briefed on your parent. If something unexpected comes up, we have a network of caregivers we can call. Your parent's safety and your peace of mind don't stop because of a schedule change.
