Live-In Care is a caregiver in your parent’s home, full-time. They’re there overnight and throughout the day. It’s different from visiting home care because the same person is present to notice what’s changing, to help at 2 a.m. if needed, to make sure meals happen and medications don’t get missed. Your parent stays in their own space, their own routine, their own neighborhood.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing and dressing, meal prep and cleanup, medication reminders, light housekeeping, errands in Kent or nearby towns, and just being present. They watch for falls, changes in mood or appetite, anything that needs attention. They’re not a nurse, but they’re trained to recognize when something’s wrong and to get help fast.
If your parent has just come home from Sharon Hospital or had a health event, Live-In Care bridges the gap between hospital discharge and independent living. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what post-hospital recovery actually looks like and how to set up a caregiver who can catch problems early. Families in Kent trust us because we know the local hospitals, the doctors, and what discharge really requires.
We started this because we saw families in situations like yours. A nurse-founded agency knows that full-time presence is different from part-time visits. We understand your parent who says no to assisted living, who wants to stay home, and who needs someone reliable there when the house is quiet at night.
Before your caregiver starts, we sit down and learn your parent’s actual life. What time they wake up, how they take their coffee, what worries them, what makes them laugh. We match carefully because the person in your home matters as much as the skill set.
Life isn’t static. Your parent’s needs shift, a medication changes, a new symptom shows up. You call us, we listen, and we adjust the plan or the caregiver. You’re not managing this alone on nights when you’re worried.
We work with families and caregivers across this area. We know the rhythms of Sharon Hospital discharge, the local pharmacies, the roads your parent needs to navigate. We’re local, which means we show up and we stay.

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
Your caregiver helps with personal care like bathing, dressing, and grooming. They prepare meals, do light housekeeping, and help with laundry. They remind about medications, run errands in Kent and nearby, and provide transportation to appointments. Most importantly, they're present overnight and throughout the day, so they notice when something's off. They're trained to spot falls, confusion, or changes in mood that matter.
We can often start within days of discharge, depending on your timeline and what we know about your parent's needs. We ask for basic information about their routine, medications, and any recent health events. Our nurse-founded approach means we know what post-hospital recovery requires and we get your caregiver up to speed fast. If you're coordinating with Sharon Hospital social work, we can talk directly with them about the handoff.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care because it's custodial, not medical. That said, we work with families on what's realistic for their budget. Some people use long-term care insurance if they have it, some adjust the hours, some use it temporarily. We're honest about costs and we don't push you toward something that doesn't fit your situation.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a few times a week. Live-In Care means the same person is in your home full-time, overnight and daytime. That presence is the difference. Your parent isn't alone at night. The caregiver knows the rhythm of their week, spots problems early, and is there when a fall happens or when they're confused at 3 a.m. Live-In Care is continuous. Home health aide visits are scheduled and limited.
Yes. We learn about your parent first. Do they need mobility help, dementia experience, someone quiet or talkative, someone who cooks well, someone patient with a particular personality. We have experience matching caregivers across all of Kent and know our people well. We don't just send someone available. We find someone who fits, and we give that caregiver time to settle in before you decide.
We maintain backup coverage. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have trained people ready to step in, ideally someone your parent already knows. We don't leave you scrambling. You call us, we handle it, and your parent's day stays as normal as possible. It's one of the reasons families trust us instead of trying to hire and manage a caregiver on their own.
