Elopement Care is supervised safety at home for people who wander or have the urge to leave without a safe plan. A trained caregiver stays present, watches for the signs you’ve learned to recognize, and keeps your parent engaged and oriented indoors. It’s not restraint. It’s not a lock-down. It’s a real person, in your home, making sure the door doesn’t open into danger.
On a typical day, your caregiver arrives before the hours when wandering usually happens. They stay alert, redirect gently, keep your parent occupied with activities they enjoy, and make sure medications are taken on time. They know the difference between restlessness and a real attempt to leave. They’re calm when it happens. They document what they see so you understand the patterns.
Many Rocky Hill families come to us after a discharge from Hartford Hospital, where their parent was flagged for wandering or found confused on a unit. We know that transition well. Our caregivers are nurse-trained, which means they understand the medical side of why this happens, and they treat it with skill instead of just worry.
Our founder is a nurse. We’ve seen what happens when someone wanders, and we know what stops it. We don’t offer guesses or door alarms. We offer a real person who knows how to recognize the signs and respond before panic sets in. That comes from nursing, not just caregiving.
We listen to your family’s specific situation and find a caregiver who fits. Some parents do better with a calm presence. Others need more activity and engagement. We watch how the match works and adjust if needed. You’re not locked into a mismatch.
Your parent’s needs shift. Sometimes a medication change makes wandering worse. Sometimes a season makes it better. You can reach us directly, and we respond. We’re not a call center passing you to another department.
We work with the discharge planners at Hartford Hospital. We understand what they flag and why. We know the neighborhoods of Rocky Hill and the rhythms of the area. We’re local, and we stay current with what’s happening in your community.

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 trained caregiver arrives at your home during the hours when wandering typically happens. They stay present and alert, engage your parent in conversation or activities, keep them safe indoors, and watch for the signs you've taught them to recognize. They make sure medications are taken, track what they observe, and call you if anything shifts. It's not constant restraint. It's constant, calm presence.
We can usually start within 24 to 48 hours of a discharge if we know about it in advance. If you're calling from Hartford Hospital on a Friday afternoon, we coordinate with discharge planning to brief our caregiver and have them ready for Monday morning. Emergency placements take a little longer, but we move fast. Communication with the hospital helps us get it right from day one.
Elopement Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it as a specific service, which is honestly frustrating for families. We keep our rates fair and transparent. Some families have used health savings accounts or long-term care insurance riders, so it's worth asking your own benefits counselor. We'll give you a clear estimate before you commit.
A home health aide helps with bathing, dressing, and household tasks, usually ordered by a doctor for medical recovery. Elopement Care is about safety and supervision for someone who wanders or attempts to leave unsupervised. A home health aide may not be trained to recognize elopement risk or handle it safely. We specialize in exactly this problem.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what activities they enjoy, whether they respond better to male or female caregivers, and what the wandering looks like. We listen to what your family has already learned works and doesn't work. We match thoughtfully, and if the first caregiver isn't the right fit, we'll find someone better.
We have backup caregivers trained and familiar with your parent's needs and your home. We don't leave families scrambling. If your regular person is sick, we call a backup from our team who already knows your situation. If you need extended coverage, we can arrange it. You're not starting over with someone new every time.
