Elopement Care is supervised, in-home presence for a parent or family member who wanders, leaves without awareness, or doesn’t recognize danger. A trained caregiver stays with your person during the hours when wandering is most likely, providing real eyes and real judgment in your home, not just equipment on a door.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with morning routine, stays alert during high-risk times, accompanies your parent on necessary outings, and documents what they’re seeing. They notice patterns, they respond to restlessness before it becomes a crisis, and they know your home and your person’s habits well enough to spot when something has shifted.
Many Danielson families come to us after a discharge from Day Kimball Hospital, when doctors confirm wandering risk but send your parent home anyway, because home is where they belong. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to read what a hospital discharge summary actually tells you, and we staff Elopement Care with people trained to prevent the crisis, not just react to it.
We understand what it means to lock a door and still not sleep, to keep your phone beside your bed, to wonder if an alarm is enough. Our founder is a nurse who watched families in exactly your position, and we built Elopement Care around the real reasons people wander, not just the equipment to stop them.
We don’t send a rotating list of strangers into your home. We learn your parent’s patterns, their triggers, the routes they favor around Danielson and nearby areas. When we place a caregiver, we brief them fully and keep them with your family, so consistency becomes your safety net.
Elopement situations shift. A caregiver needs to call us in real time, not at 9 a.m. the next day. You need to reach someone who knows your case and can adjust hours, add coverage, or shift approach without delay.
We work with discharge planners at Day Kimball Hospital, we know which Danielson neighborhoods have the highest wandering risk, and we understand the local resources your family can lean on. Being local means we show up faster, and we stay.

Common questions
Your caregiver arrives at agreed hours and stays present in your home, supervising your parent and noticing their mood and restlessness. They help with meals, hygiene, and activity, but the core work is awareness, staying close, and gently redirecting before wandering becomes an emergency. If your parent needs to go out, the caregiver accompanies them. We document what we see, so you and your doctor understand patterns.
We can often start within 48 hours if we know about your discharge in advance. Call us before your parent leaves the hospital, and we'll coordinate with Day Kimball's discharge planner. If you're calling us after you're home and scared, we move fast, because we know the urgency of your situation.
Elopement Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We understand that's a hard answer. We're transparent about our rates upfront, and we can discuss what hours and frequency fit your budget and your parent's actual risk.
A home health aide typically helps with personal care and activities of daily living, and many insurance plans will pay for that. Elopement Care is supervision and safety, with the primary focus on preventing wandering and responding to it if it starts. We can combine the two if your parent needs both, but Elopement Care is the specialized piece for families dealing with wandering.
Yes. We listen to what you need, what your parent is like, and where the wandering risk is highest. We match based on personality fit, experience with wandering, knowledge of Danielson's geography, and ability to stay calm in moments of fear. We want your parent comfortable and your family confident.
We don't leave you without coverage on days when your regular caregiver can't make it. We have backup caregivers who can step in, and we brief them on your parent and your home. We also communicate with you as early as possible so you can plan and know who's arriving.
