Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Elopement Care is trained supervision for someone who wanders, leaves home without warning, or gets lost easily. It’s not a home health aide doing tasks. It’s a caregiver whose job is to be present, alert, and ready to redirect your parent safely back inside, every single time they head for the door.
Day-to-day, you’ll see a caregiver sitting with your parent, aware of their patterns, their triggers, the time of day they’re most likely to leave. They keep the doors in view. They go outside if needed. They stay calm and kind because they understand this isn’t stubbornness, it’s a health condition. Families tell us they finally sleep through the night, or they can run to the store without calling every five minutes.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what happens after Manchester Memorial Hospital discharge when your parent comes home with new anxiety or changed behavior. We know the questions doctors can’t answer and the fears that start at dusk. Being a nurse means we listen to what you’re actually scared of, not what we think you should be scared of. That makes us better at matching the right person to your situation.
Our founder was a nurse who sat with her own family member at 2am, terrified they’d slip out. We built this service because door alarms and locks aren’t enough. We know what it feels like when you’re scared to leave them alone, and we know what real supervision actually looks like.
We don’t send whoever is available. We talk with you about your parent’s personality, what scares them, when they wander most, and who they respond to. Then we match a caregiver who gets it and train them on your specific situation. That homework means the first day goes smoother.
Your parent’s needs change. Maybe the wandering is worse in winter, or better when a certain person is here. We listen when you call and adjust. If your regular caregiver gets sick, we find someone trained to step in fast.
We know Bolton, Andover, Coventry, and Hebron. We work with Manchester Memorial Hospital on discharge planning and understand the local health system. Being nearby means faster response and real relationships with families and doctors who know us.

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 comes to your home for the hours you choose. Their job is to be present and aware. They watch for signs your parent is heading to the door, they redirect calmly, and they go outside with them if they need air. They don't do housework or cooking unless you ask. They're there so your parent doesn't leave unsupervised, period.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you call us while your parent is still in the hospital or right after they come home. We'll talk to you about their discharge summary, what changed, and when you need coverage most. If Manchester Memorial has a discharge planner, we coordinate with them.
No, Elopement Care is private pay. Insurance doesn't cover supervised safety for wandering behavior in most cases. We're honest about cost from the start and can talk about hours and frequency that work for your budget. Some families use it full-time, others do evenings and nights.
A home health aide helps with bathing, dressing, meals, and personal care. Elopement Care is supervision and safety only. We're here because your parent wanders, and that's our focus. If you need both, we can work alongside a home health aide, but don't double up on who's watching them.
Yes. We talk with you about what your parent is like, what time of day they're most likely to wander, whether they're calm or agitated, and who they respond to. Then we match someone with that experience. We also train them on your home, your parent's patterns, and what to watch for.
We don't leave you stranded. If your primary caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we find a backup who's trained for Elopement Care. You get a heads up as early as possible. We keep a pool of caregivers ready specifically so this doesn't become your crisis.
