Live-In Care is having someone at your parent’s home around the clock, handling the routines that start to slip when living alone becomes harder. Meals, medications, bathing, dressing, movement through the day. It’s also the presence itself, the knowledge that if something goes wrong at 3 a.m., someone is there to help and call for backup.
Families see a real difference fast. Your parent eats regular meals again. Medications get taken on time. There’s someone to help with toileting and bathing without the awkwardness of asking a family member. Laundry happens. The house stays safe. And maybe most important, you stop holding your breath when you don’t hear from them for a few hours.
We work with families all over Newington and Hartford County, especially those navigating discharge from Hartford Hospital or managing complex medical needs at home. We were founded by nurses who understood that full-time presence is different from visiting care, and that some parents will never move into a facility no matter what. We build our matching and support around that reality.
Our founder was a nurse managing her own parent’s care at home, which means we know what 24/7 presence actually requires. We don’t treat Live-In Care as extended home health. We match caregivers for weeks and months, build relationships, and stay stable when your family needs stability most.
We listen to what your parent actually needs, what drives them, what makes mornings easier or harder. Then we match a specific person, not just the next available caregiver. You meet them before they start, and we brief them fully on medications, habits, and what matters to your parent.
If your caregiver gets sick, if your parent’s needs change after a fall or a new diagnosis, or if something just isn’t working, you reach us directly. We don’t disappear into a scheduling system. We adjust and we communicate.
We know the Newington neighborhoods, we work with Hartford Hospital on discharge planning, and we understand the specific logistics of getting care started fast when your parent comes home. That local knowledge matters when you need someone reliable within days.

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 caregiver lives in your parent's home, usually sleeping in a designated bedroom, and is present throughout the day and night. They handle personal care like bathing, dressing, and toileting. They prepare meals, manage medications, do laundry, and help with light housekeeping. They're also there for companionship, to notice if something is wrong, and to call for help or get your parent to an appointment. The specifics depend on what your parent needs.
We can often start within a few days of discharge if you reach out before your parent leaves the hospital. We work with Hartford Hospital's discharge planners and can have intake conversations while your parent is still there. Emergency or urgent situations may start the same day or next morning. The faster you contact us, the faster we can match and brief the right person.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover round-the-clock in-home care at this level. We can provide clear pricing and help you understand the full cost before you decide. Some families use a combination of savings, family contribution, and in some cases, long-term care insurance if they have it.
A home health aide usually visits a few hours a week and is focused on specific medical or mobility tasks covered by insurance. A Live-In caregiver lives at your parent's home full-time, is there for all of daily life including nights, and helps prevent the isolation and decline that can happen when someone is alone most of the time. Live-In Care is about presence and prevention, not just specific medical tasks.
Yes. We listen carefully to what your parent is like, what they need, what they care about, and what drives them nuts. We then match someone based on temperament, experience, and availability, not just the first person who's open. You'll speak with the caregiver before they start so everyone feels right about it.
We maintain backup relationships and can usually find a replacement quickly if someone gets sick or has an emergency. You're not left scrambling. We call you right away, explain the situation, and move to get someone in place. For short absences we work it out. For longer gaps, we discuss your options and what makes sense for your parent.
