24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent all day and through the night, every single day. Not checking in. Living in the home. It’s for families who know their parent shouldn’t be alone, whether because of fall risk, medication timing, wandering, or just the simple fact that something could happen at 3 a.m. and no one would be there to help.
During the day, your caregiver helps with meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and getting outside if your parent wants to. They notice things. At night, they’re present and awake during the hours when falls happen most, when confusion sets in, when a parent calls out and needs someone there in seconds. It’s continuous. It’s thorough. It’s real peace of mind.
If your parent came home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital after a fall, surgery, or a health scare, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between hospital discharge and where your parent feels safe again. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what actually matters in around-the-clock safety, not just what looks good on paper. We know the rhythms of nighttime care, the specific risks Litchfield County families face, and how Charlotte Hungerford’s discharge planning works because we’re part of this community.
Our founder is a nurse. She built this service because she watched families suffer the consequences of a parent alone at night, one fall away from everything changing. We know how to spot a fall risk before it happens, how to position a bed, how to respond when it does. That’s not training you get in a weekend course.
We listen to what your parent actually needs, who they’ll accept in their home, what temperament works. Then we find the right caregiver and we brief them deeply. You’re not getting a stranger; you’re getting someone who knows your parent’s routine, their quirks, their medical history, and what to watch for.
A parent gets worse. A medication changes. Your caregiver gets sick. We don’t disappear or make you scramble. You call us, we listen, we adjust. That’s what around-the-clock means for us, too.
We’re local. We know how Charlotte Hungerford Hospital does discharge planning, which roads in Winsted are tough in winter, which pharmacies are reliable, which doctors our families trust. We speak the language of this region because we live 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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver arrives before breakfast and stays through the night. They help your parent wash, dress, eat, take medications at the right time. During the day, there's activity, maybe a walk, a meal prepared together, time outside. When evening comes, they're present and alert through the night, helping if your parent needs to use the bathroom, gets confused, or falls. They sleep lightly, close by, ready. It's presence and attentiveness, not just presence.
We work with the hospital's discharge planners because we're part of this community. If you need care within days, we can often make it happen. We'll schedule a visit to assess your parent, match a caregiver, and brief them on the specific needs from the hospital stay. Usually that's three to five days, sometimes faster for urgent situations. We don't rush the matching part, but we don't drag it out either.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover medical home health, which is different from what we do. We're not billing insurance; we're building a sustainable, attentive care model that doesn't get squeezed by insurance timelines or visit limits. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We're honest about the cost upfront so there are no surprises.
A home health aide comes for a few hours a week and helps with specific tasks, usually ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your home, providing continuous presence and safety monitoring. It's full-time, around-the-clock attention. If your parent needs that level of safety, home health aide visits won't be enough.
That's exactly what we do. We listen to what your parent needs, what they respond to, what their daily rhythm looks like. Are they early risers? Do they need someone patient with memory issues? Do they speak another language? We match based on fit, not just availability. Then our caregiver knows your parent before day one because we brief them thoroughly.
We have backup caregivers who know your parent's home and routine, so it's not a stranger every time. We call ahead when possible. We don't leave you scrambling or leave your parent without care. Our network in Winsted and the surrounding towns means we can find coverage quickly because we know the people and they know the area.
