Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means one caregiver stays in your parent’s home full-time, providing the presence and support that keeps them safe, independent, and rooted in the place they know. It’s not a part-time aide stopping by twice a week. It’s someone there when your parent wakes up, when medications need to happen, when a meal gets made, when evening falls and the house gets quiet.
Day-to-day, you’ll see personal care, meal planning and cooking, medication reminders, light housekeeping, companionship, and transportation to appointments. Your parent gets bathing support, dressing help if needed, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone is present. Families tell us the real gift is watching their parent relax, stop worrying about falling or forgetting, and start living again in their own home.
Here in North Stonington, we’ve worked with families who came home from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital needing round-the-clock support but absolutely refusing assisted living. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, how to set up safe routines, and how to talk to doctors about what’s really happening at home. That background shapes everything we do.
Your parent built a life here, knows Stonington Road, has neighbors who check in, a doctor at Lawrence + Memorial who knows their history. We don’t push the facility route. We listen to what your family actually wants and build the support around staying home.
We don’t hand you a name and hope for the best. We learn about your parent’s temperament, routines, medical needs, and personality. We talk through who’s going to work with your family. That investment in the match is what keeps caregivers with families for months or years.
When something shifts, when you have a question about medication or behavior or discharge planning, we’re reachable. We work with your parent’s doctor and coordinate with Lawrence + Memorial if there’s a new admission. That continuity matters.
We know the hospitals, the rhythms of care here, the geography from Voluntown to Ledyard. We’ve worked with Lawrence + Memorial discharge planners and understand what families need when their parent is ready to come home. That familiarity pays off.

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.
Why families trust us

Common questions
A Live-In caregiver is present from morning through evening, helping your parent wake and dress, preparing meals, managing medications, handling personal care like bathing, doing light housekeeping and laundry, and providing company. They're there to prompt your parent to eat, to notice if something feels off, and to call you with updates. Many families also arrange overnight coverage, which means your parent has someone there if they get up at 2 a.m. and need help getting back to bed safely.
We can often start within 48 hours of discharge if we have advance notice. When your parent is still at Lawrence + Memorial, we connect with the discharge planner, learn the medical setup, medications, and any special instructions, then get matched caregivers ready. We've coordinated dozens of post-hospital transitions in New London County. If it's urgent, we move quickly, but we don't skip the matching conversation.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time in-home caregiving. What they sometimes cover is home health aide services a few hours per week, which is different. Live-In Care is an investment in keeping your parent home and safe. We're honest about cost from the first call, and many families find it's far less than assisted living.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually covered by insurance after hospitalization, and focuses on personal care and specific medical tasks. Live-In Care means one caregiver is there full-time, which means continuity, companionship, meal prep, household management, and 24-hour presence. Home health is about addressing a specific medical need. Live-In Care is about creating a whole safe living situation at home.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they like to do, any behavioral patterns, medical history, dietary needs, and whether they do better with more conversation or quiet company. We also learn what your family values. Then we match intentionally, not by whoever's available that week. If it's not working after a trial, we'll adjust. That care in matching is why our caregivers stay.
We have backup coverage built in. If your primary caregiver is sick or has a family emergency, we have trained alternates who know your parent and the routine. You don't suddenly have a stranger walking in. We also keep you informed and coordinate any changes. It's one of the reasons families rely on us rather than trying to hire privately.
