Live-In Care is a caregiver who lives in your parent’s home, providing supervision, assistance with daily tasks, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and companionship around the clock. It’s not a nurse, and it’s not just a visitor who stops by. It’s a consistent adult presence in the house, someone who knows the routine and catches things before they become emergencies.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing and dressing, prepares meals, manages the house, reminds about medications, accompanies to appointments, and simply sits with your parent. Families tell us the relief comes from knowing someone is there during the nights, during the falls that could happen, during the moments when confusion sets in. You can stop calling every two hours to check in.
After a discharge from Day Kimball Hospital, many Brooklyn families choose Live-In Care to bridge the gap between hospital and independence at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what post-hospital recovery actually requires, and we know how to listen to what your parent’s doctor has just asked of them. We’re local to Windham County and familiar with Day Kimball’s discharge process, so the handoff is smooth and the first caregiver already knows what to watch for.
Our founder was a nurse who watched families struggle with the conversation about assisted living. Live-In Care lets your parent stay in the home where they have roots, where the street corner looks right, where memories live. We know this isn’t stubbornness; it’s dignity. We build the support around them instead of moving them.
We don’t assign a caregiver and disappear. We brief our caregivers about your parent’s habits, preferences, health alerts, and family dynamics before day one. We check in, we adjust, we stay reachable when something shifts. Your feedback matters and it changes how we show up.
If your regular caregiver gets sick, we have trained backup coverage. If your parent’s needs grow, we can bring in additional support or coordinate with home health nursing. You don’t have to scramble or start from zero. You call us and we problem-solve together.
We’re local, we work with Day Kimball Hospital staff regularly, and we understand the discharge planners’ expectations. We know the roads in Brooklyn, the pharmacies, the doctors’ offices. We’re not learning the geography while your parent waits for care.

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
Your caregiver is in the home from morning through night, assisting with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and errands. They provide supervision to catch falls or confusion early, accompany your parent to appointments, and keep them company. They're not nursing care, but they're eyes and hands in the home 24/7.
We can often place a caregiver within 48 to 72 hours of Day Kimball discharge if we have adequate notice. We work with the hospital's discharge planner to understand your parent's immediate needs, and we brief the caregiver on any post-discharge instructions before they arrive. If it's urgent, we'll prioritize coverage and get you lined up even faster.
Live-In Care is private pay, not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We work with families to build a care plan that fits their budget. Some people use long-term care insurance if they have it, or family resources. We're honest about cost upfront and we don't have hidden fees.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours at scheduled times and is usually ordered by a doctor for post-hospital recovery. Live-In Care is a caregiver who actually resides in your parent's home, providing round-the-clock presence and support. Home health aides focus on medical tasks; Live-In caregivers handle daily living and companionship too.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, health needs, preferences, and family dynamics before we make a match. We look for personality fit, not just task capability. We tell you who we're considering and why we think they're right. If it doesn't work, we adjust.
We have trained backup caregivers ready to cover. We notify you as soon as we know there's an absence, and we send a familiar substitute when possible. We don't leave families stranded. If your parent's needs are complex, we coordinate coverage ahead of time so the transition is smooth.
