Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is one person in your home, full-time, making sure your parent is safe, eating, taking medication on time, and getting to appointments. It’s not a hospital setting and it’s not assisted living. It’s your parent’s home, their routine, their independence, with someone there who’s trained and present.
On a typical day, a caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and anything else that comes up. They’re there at night too. If your parent needs to go to the doctor, needs help walking, or just needs someone to sit with them during a difficult day, that caregiver is already in the house. You get regular updates and can reach us anytime something changes.
A lot of Litchfield families turn to Live-In Care after a hospital discharge or when they realize their parent isn’t safe alone anymore. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what medical-level attention looks like and how to match the right person to your parent’s actual needs. We know the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and can often have care in place before your parent even gets home.
Our founder is a nurse, and she built this service because she saw families desperate for an alternative to assisted living facilities, for parents who refused to leave their homes. Live-In Care isn’t a compromise. It’s the real thing, and we know how to do it well.
We don’t send someone to your door on day one. We talk to you about your parent’s personality, their schedule, what matters to them, and what’s actually hard. Then we find a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. That matching is everything.
Live-In Care isn’t static. Your parent’s needs change, the caregiver might need support, or you might need to adjust the plan. You call us and you get someone who understands the situation, not a voicemail system.
We know the hospitals, the doctors, the neighborhoods, and the culture here. We’ve worked with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital on discharges and we know what works in this community. When you need us, we’re already familiar with Litchfield.

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 personal care like bathing and dressing, prepares meals, manages medications, does light housekeeping, and provides companionship and safety monitoring around the clock. They accompany your parent to appointments, help with mobility, and handle the daily tasks that become harder with age or illness. They're also there overnight, so if your parent falls or becomes confused at 3 a.m., someone is already in the house.
We can often have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if we're involved early. We work with the hospital's discharge team to understand your parent's medical needs and care plan, then we match and brief the right person. If you call us while your parent is still at Charlotte Hungerford, we move fast.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay directly for the service. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's custodial care, not skilled nursing. We can give you a clear picture of costs upfront and help you understand what financial options or resources might be available to you. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal funds. We're honest about the investment.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day, a few days a week, as ordered by a doctor for medical recovery. Live-In Care is full-time presence, all day and night, whether or not your parent has an active medical condition. Home health aides are often covered by insurance for short periods. Live-In Care is the solution for long-term support when your parent needs someone there all the time but doesn't need a nursing home.
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We take time to understand your parent's personality, their medical needs, language preferences, daily routines, and what matters to them. Then we find someone who not only has the skills but also fits the household. We've placed caregivers across all areas of Litchfield, and we know how to make a good match.
We maintain a team of trained backup caregivers so there's always someone available. If your regular caregiver calls out sick, we cover the shift with someone we've already vetted and briefed on your parent's needs. We don't leave you without care, and we keep backup plans in place from the start.
