Hospice Support Care in Warren, CT
Non-medical hospice support — homemaker-companion services that complement hospice nursing during a parent's final months at home.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
The night the hospice nurse from Charlotte Hungerford left and the house went quiet, you realized how long the hours ahead were going to feel. Warren is a small, spread-out town, and your family is doing everything they can, but you can’t all be there at once. Someone needs to sit with your father, hold his hand through the hard afternoons, and let you sleep for a few hours without guilt pulling you back awake.
That’s the moment we exist for. We provide private-duty, non-medical support that works directly alongside the hospice team already in place. We’re there for comfort, presence, and the practical help that makes staying home possible.
We’re private pay and nurse-founded, which means there’s no insurance maze to navigate, and the people who built this agency have sat in rooms exactly like yours.
Hospice Support Care is non-medical, personal support provided at home during the end-of-life period. It runs alongside whatever hospice or palliative team is already involved, including nurses coming out from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or a partner agency. We don’t duplicate their clinical work. We fill the hours between visits when your family needs rest, or when no family member can be there at all.
On a typical day, that looks like sitting with someone so they’re not alone, helping with repositioning for comfort, light personal hygiene assistance, preparing a small meal or drink, and simply being a calm presence in the room. Families across all areas of Warren tell us that what matters most is knowing someone trustworthy is there, that the house doesn’t feel empty, and that their person is treated with real dignity and patience.
We also support the family, not just the person receiving care. If you need to step outside, make calls, or sleep, your caregiver can hold things steady and reach you immediately if anything changes. That kind of backup matters more than most people realize until they’re in the middle of it.
Because we’re nurse-founded, every caregiver working a hospice case has been selected and briefed specifically for this kind of care, not just slotted in from a general roster. The person who shows up understands what the environment is, and they’re steady because of it.
Nurse-founded, not just managed
Our agency was started by a working nurse who saw firsthand what families navigating end-of-life care at home actually needed, and built the service around that reality, not around what’s easy to staff.
Built around hospice specifically
We don’t treat hospice support as a checkbox. Caregivers on these cases are briefed on the hospice plan, the family’s wishes, and what calm, unhurried presence looks like in practice. That preparation shows.
We answer when you call
When something changes in a hospice situation, it can change fast and at odd hours. You can reach us. We don’t route you through a system or ask you to leave a message and wait.
We know Litchfield County
We understand the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, the rural geography of Warren, and the way families in this part of Connecticut tend to want care handled. We’re not a national service trying to figure this area out.
How it works
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
On a typical day, your caregiver might help with personal comfort tasks like repositioning or light hygiene, prepare something small to eat or drink, sit with your family member and talk or just be present, and keep the environment calm. They're also there to give you, the family, a chance to step away without leaving your person alone. The specifics depend on where your family member is in the process and what the hospice team has in place.
We can typically start within 48 hours of your first call, and for families coming home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in an urgent situation, we work hard to arrange care the same day. Call us as soon as you know the discharge is coming, even before you have a date, and we'll begin getting a caregiver ready. The earlier we hear from you, the smoother the handoff can be.
We are a private-pay agency, which means we don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance. Families pay us directly. We know that's a real consideration, and we'll always be straightforward about rates. Some families use long-term care insurance policies that allow private-pay claims, so it's worth checking your policy if you have one.
A home health aide is typically a clinical role ordered through a medical provider, focused on specific health tasks and governed by a care plan from a physician or nurse. Our hospice support care is non-medical. We provide comfort, presence, and personal assistance that sits alongside whatever clinical care the hospice team is delivering. We're not replacing the nurses or aides from the hospice agency. We're filling the hours and the emotional support that those teams don't cover.
Yes, and for hospice cases we take this seriously. We talk with you about your family member's personality, preferences, communication style, and anything that matters to them day to day. We also ask about your family's preferences. Then we find a caregiver whose temperament and experience fit that picture, not just someone who's available. If the match isn't right, we'll fix it without making you feel like you're asking for too much.
We cover the shift. You won't be left scrambling to figure it out on your own. We keep backup coverage in mind when we schedule hospice cases because we know that a gap in care at this stage isn't something families can handle alone. We'll let you know who's coming ahead of time so there's no surprise at the door.
