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 noticed something at Thanksgiving dinner on Stafford Road, the way your mom hesitated on the stairs. By the time you drove home from Massachusetts, your dad had already fallen twice that week without telling you. He couldn’t stay alone anymore, and you couldn’t be there at 3 a.m. when he got confused. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes the difference between impossible and actually breathing.

24-Hour Care means someone is there overnight and around the clock. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the person who’s awake when your parent gets up at 2 a.m. disoriented, who catches them before they fall getting to the bathroom, who knows their routine and their triggers and stays with them through the hours when they’re most confused or scared.
Day to day, you’ll see a caregiver who handles personal care, meal prep, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and presence. They’re there during the times families tell us they worry most: the middle of the night, early mornings before the house is busy, those long afternoon hours. They’re also there when your parent wakes up and doesn’t know where they are, or when a side effect from a new medication shows up at dinner time.
Families in Willington often reach us after a discharge from Johnson Memorial Hospital, when doctors say your parent needs supervision but not hospital-level care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand exactly what safety looks like at home and how to spot the small changes that matter. Our team knows the Johnson Memorial discharge process and what questions to ask when you’re bringing your parent home.
Nurse-founded means we’ve lived the 3 a.m. panic. We know what actually prevents falls, how to spot someone who’s become a fall risk, and how to stay calm when it happens. We’re not learning on your parent, we’re bringing real experience to the hours when most families feel most alone.
We don’t just send a caregiver. We listen to what your parent needs and who they’ll trust, then we brief the person fully so they show up already knowing your parent’s patterns, preferences, and fears. That matters more in 24-Hour Care than anywhere else, because someone living in your home has to fit into your family’s life.
A new medication side effect. A fall that shook everyone’s confidence. A day when your parent is more confused than usual. You call us and reach a real person who knows your situation, not an answering service. We adjust fast because 24-Hour Care situations need fast response.
We know Willington, Tolland, Stafford, Ashford, and Mansfield. We know how Johnson Memorial Hospital works and what their discharge planners expect. That local knowledge means fewer surprises and more fluency with the hospitals and doctors already caring for your parent.

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 is in your home from evening through morning, or overnight only, depending on what you choose. They handle personal care like bathing and dressing, prepare meals, remind about medications, help with light housekeeping, and stay present and alert. They're watching for falls, checking on your parent if they get up in the night, and staying calm if confusion or fear shows up. They're also someone to talk to, which matters more than people expect.
We've done this many times. If you call us during your parent's hospital stay or right after discharge, we can usually start within 2 to 3 days. We work with the discharge planners at Johnson Memorial and ask the right questions about your parent's needs so there's no gap between hospital care and home care. Rush situations do happen, and we handle them.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover home health aides for specific medical needs, but around-the-clock supervision and presence aren't usually covered that way. We're honest about cost because families need to know what they're budgeting. We can talk through what help might be available through your parent's VA benefits or other programs, and we work with families on what intensity of care makes sense for their situation.
Home health aides typically come for a few hours a day and focus on personal care tasks. 24-Hour Care means someone is living in your home around the clock, providing presence and supervision, not just tasks. The caregiver is awake and alert during the hours your parent is most at risk: nights, early mornings, and transitions. That continuity changes everything for families managing nighttime falls and confusion.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what makes them comfortable, what they're afraid of, and how they relate to people. We listen to what your family needs too. Then we match someone whose experience and temperament fit. That match is what makes 24-Hour Care actually work, especially when someone's in your home overnight.
We have a backup plan before your primary caregiver ever starts. If someone gets sick or an emergency comes up, we step in quickly with a caregiver who's been briefed on your parent's routine. You don't lose coverage and your parent doesn't face a stranger without context. Continuity and reliability are core to 24-Hour Care.
