Live-In Care means a trained caregiver living in your parent’s home, providing round-the-clock support. They’re there for the morning routine, meals, medications, mobility help, and everything in between. It’s not medical nursing unless your parent needs it, but it’s a full presence, someone who knows their schedule, their habits, their good days and hard days.
On a typical day, you’ll see medication reminders taken seriously, meals prepared and eaten, personal hygiene supported, light housekeeping done, appointments managed, and genuine company during the long hours that used to feel lonely. Your parent doesn’t have to leave their home. They don’t have to adjust to new staff every shift or spend evenings alone. The caregiver becomes part of the household rhythm.
Many Greenwich families come to us after a hospital stay or when their parent’s doctor recommends more support than visiting aides can provide. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what real safety looks like in a home setting, and we know how to coordinate with Greenwich Hospital discharge planners and primary care doctors. We also know that sometimes the best outcome isn’t a facility move. It’s keeping your parent at home with the right person there.
Our founder is a nurse who saw families forced into moves they didn’t want. Live-In Care is built on the belief that your parent’s home is their anchor, and full-time support can make staying there possible and safe. We’re not trying to move anyone anywhere.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, schedule, and specific needs before introducing a caregiver. The match matters. We brief every caregiver thoroughly on your family’s routines and expectations, and we stay involved as things unfold.
Live-In Care situations evolve. Health changes, caregiver schedules shift, your parent’s needs grow. We’re here to adjust, problem-solve, and make sure you have continuity and support when you need it most.
We work regularly with Greenwich Hospital discharge teams, local primary care doctors, and specialists throughout the county. We understand the rhythm of care in your community and how to coordinate across providers.

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 Live-In caregiver helps with morning routine, bathing, dressing, and grooming. They prepare meals and make sure your parent eats and takes medications on schedule. They handle light housekeeping, laundry, and errands. They provide companionship, transportation to appointments, and mobility assistance. Most importantly, they're present and alert during nights, which is when many older adults feel most vulnerable. What's included depends on your parent's specific needs, which we discuss upfront.
We can often arrange Live-In Care within days of a hospital discharge, especially if your parent's needs are clear. We work with Greenwich Hospital's discharge planners to understand what's been recommended and to coordinate the handoff. If your parent has already been assessed and you know what support they need, we move quickly. Some families contact us while still in the hospital so we're ready when they come home.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's custodial care, not skilled medical care. This means there's no authorization process or waiting on approvals. You pay out of pocket, which gives you full control over the arrangement and direct continuity with your caregiver. We can discuss costs and payment options when you call.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a few times a week, usually for specific medical reasons and under a doctor's order. Live-In Care means the caregiver lives in your parent's home full-time, available day and night. Live-In Care is about constant presence and support, not just scheduled visits. It's suited to parents who need ongoing companionship, medication reminders, and nighttime safety, not just structured medical tasks.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, daily routine, medical needs, and what matters most to your family. We then work to match a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit. We brief the caregiver thoroughly before they arrive so they understand your parent's schedule, preferences, and any particular challenges. This process takes time, but the match is worth it.
We maintain a backup plan. If your caregiver is unexpectedly unavailable, we work to cover the gap quickly with someone we've already briefed on your parent's needs. We don't just disappear. We're reachable, and we understand that continuity matters in Live-In Care. Let's talk about your specific concerns around coverage when you call.
