Your sister noticed it first at Thanksgiving, sitting around the table near the Woodbury green. Your mom seemed confused about the time, and when she got up to check the stove at 2 a.m., you realized she couldn’t be left alone anymore. That’s when 24-Hour Care became the thing you’d been dreading to think about but knew you needed.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present during the night hours when falls happen, when medications get missed, when confusion sets in. Your parent isn’t alone, and you’re not holding your breath waiting for the phone to ring at 3 a.m.
Day-to-day, you’ll see someone who helps with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility. They’re watching for changes, keeping your parent safe when they get up in the dark, making sure medication is taken on time, and staying alert to anything that doesn’t feel right. Many families tell us it’s the first full night of sleep they’ve had in months.
We’re here in Litchfield County and know the Waterbury Hospital discharge process well. When your parent comes home after a hospital stay, we can step in quickly with a caregiver who understands post-discharge needs. Being nurse-founded means our team thinks about safety the way a nurse does, not just tasks. We know what to watch for, and we know when to reach out to you or their doctor.
A nurse founded this agency because she lived through what you’re living through now. We know what nighttime falls look like, what it feels like to be the only family member awake while your parent needs supervision, and why you can’t just hire someone off a list. We’ve built 24-Hour Care around those exact moments.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, and what makes them feel safe. Then we match them with a caregiver who fits, and we brief them thoroughly on your parent’s routines, their health, what matters to them. You’re not starting over every shift.
Life doesn’t stay the same. Your parent’s needs shift, schedules change, concerns pop up at odd hours. We’re here to listen and adjust. You can call us, and someone responds. That’s not standard, but for 24-Hour Care it should be.
We work in Woodbury and the towns around you. We know the local hospitals, the doctors, the roads, the community. When Waterbury Hospital discharges your parent, we already know the process and can move fast. Being local means we’re invested in the families we serve.

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 is in your home from evening through morning, or around the clock if that's what you need. They help with toileting, bathing, dressing, meals, and medication reminders. They're awake and alert during the night, watching for falls, confusion, or anything unusual. They keep the house calm, check on your parent regularly, and document what they see. You get a daily report of how your parent slept, ate, and what happened during their shifts.
We can often start the same week as discharge, sometimes sooner. Because we're based in Litchfield County and know the Waterbury Hospital process, we've usually already gotten the clinical picture before your parent comes home. We ask for a few days' notice so we can match the right caregiver and brief them on your parent's specific needs. In urgent situations, we move fast.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or home health aide visits, but not round-the-clock live-in or overnight care. We're honest about that upfront. Some families combine 24-Hour Care with their insurance-covered visits. We can talk through what your situation might look like and what the cost range is.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few times a week, and that's covered by insurance. 24-Hour Care means continuous presence, usually overnight or around the clock. The caregiver is there to prevent falls, catch medication missed doses, notice changes, and keep your parent safe when no one else can be awake. It's a fundamentally different level of supervision and peace of mind.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, health needs, and what makes them feel safe. Some parents need someone calm and quiet, others do better with activity and conversation. We listen and we match thoughtfully. Once we propose someone, we always do a trial shift or meeting first so you and your parent can see if it feels right.
We have backup coverage. We don't leave families stranded. If your regular caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we call you right away and send a trained replacement as quickly as we can. You'll know what's happening and who's coming. We also give regular caregivers predictable schedules so turnover is rare.
