Live-In Care means a caregiver is present in your parent’s home full-time, overnight included. They’re not a visitor or a few hours a week. They’re there for the duration, handling everything from medication timing to meals to the small things that pile up when you’re aging at home. It’s the alternative to moving into assisted living when your parent won’t leave the house they’ve lived in for thirty years.
On a typical day, your caregiver manages breakfast and lunch, reminds your parent about medications, handles light housekeeping, and is awake if something happens at 2 a.m. They drive to appointments, watch for changes in health or mood, and keep detailed notes so you know what’s actually happening at home. They’re a steady presence, not a transaction.
Here in Lisbon and across New London County, we know the discharge process at William W. Backus Hospital well. Many families come to us right after their parent comes home from the hospital, which is exactly when full-time presence matters most. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical needs from the inside and we know the difference between help and actual safety.
Your parent isn’t moving to assisted living and you’ve stopped pushing. We’ve built Live-In Care for exactly this situation, the one where staying home is the only option your parent will accept. Being nurse-founded means we know how to keep someone safe at home even when the situation is complex.
You don’t get a stranger assigned overnight. We talk with you and your parent first, understand the actual needs and the personality fit, then bring in someone who works. It takes time to match well and we’re willing to invest that time.
Your parent’s health shifts or your family’s schedule does. You call us and we problem-solve, not pass you to a voicemail system. We adjust the arrangement because Live-In Care isn’t static and neither should our support be.
We’re local. We know William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge flow, the neighborhoods here, and the doctors and facilities families in Lisbon actually use. That familiarity matters when you’re navigating care arrangements.

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 present from when they arrive until they leave, and if it's overnight Live-In Care, they're sleeping in the home and available if your parent needs something at night. They handle medications, prepare meals, help with bathing or dressing if needed, keep the house functioning, drive to appointments, and watch for any changes in health or behavior. They're taking notes the whole time so you understand what's happening. It's not nursing, it's the full presence of someone reliable.
We can often start within days of discharge if you contact us while your parent is still in the hospital. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can begin the matching process. We've worked with families who needed someone in the home immediately after William W. Backus discharge, and we've arranged that. Speed depends on what you need and what we have available, but we move fast.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's full-time presence, not skilled medical care. It costs less than assisted living in most cases, but you are paying out of pocket. We're transparent about that from the start. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, but that's between you and your insurance company.
A home health aide comes for a few hours, a few times a week, often through insurance or a medical referral. Live-In Care means someone is in the home full-time, covering everything for the hours you set. Live-In Care is for situations where your parent needs presence, consistency, and someone managing daily life. Home health is for people who need skilled support part-time. They solve different problems.
Yes. We talk with you and your parent about what matters most, what their personality is like, what skills the caregiver needs, and what your household actually requires. Then we match based on that conversation, not just availability. We'll introduce the caregiver, make sure the fit feels right, and adjust if it doesn't. We're in Lisbon and across New London County regularly so we know what matching looks like locally.
We have a backup plan. We communicate with you as soon as we know about an absence and we work to find coverage from our network. We don't leave you without someone in the home unless you tell us that's okay. If we can't fill a shift immediately, we call and we figure out the next step together. You're not abandoned when something happens.
