Your mom’s been independent her whole life, and the idea of moving into a facility after her fall near the Route 10 intersection isn’t going to happen, no matter what you say. You’re working full-time, your sister lives two states away, and you can’t be there at 2 a.m. when she needs help to the bathroom. Live-In Care means someone who knows her, knows your home, and is there when you can’t be.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is one caregiver, in your parent’s home, for the hours you need them most, usually overnight and into the morning. They’re there to help with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, and mobility, but also to be present, to notice changes, to call you if something feels different. It’s not a nurse making a 30-minute visit twice a week, it’s a real person who knows your home and your parent’s routines.
On a typical day, your caregiver handles personal care, meal prep, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and companionship. They help your parent stay in the house they love, keep the rhythm of their own life, and stay safe without feeling watched or managed. If your parent needs nursing care beyond what a caregiver can provide, we work with their doctor and can coordinate with other services.
Plainville families often turn to us after a hospital stay at Hospital of Central Connecticut or when they realize assisted living just isn’t going to happen. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what real care looks like, how to spot when something’s changing, and how to keep families informed without overstepping. We know the discharge timelines at Hospital of Central Connecticut and can usually start within days of you calling us.
We started this work because we’ve lived it too, watching a parent say no to every option except staying home. Live-In Care isn’t a compromise or a consolation prize, it’s how your parent gets to keep their independence while you get to sleep at night knowing someone is there.
We listen to what matters: the caregiver’s experience, personality fit, reliability, and whether they can handle the specific challenges your parent faces. We don’t assign someone on day one and hope it works out. We brief every caregiver thoroughly about your home, your parent, and what matters to your family.
If your caregiver gets sick, if your parent’s needs shift, or if you need to talk something through at 11 p.m., you reach us, not a voicemail. We coordinate backup care and adjust schedules because we know Live-In Care isn’t set-it-and-forget-it.
We’re local to Plainville, Farmington, New Britain, and Southington. We understand Hospital of Central Connecticut’s discharge process, we have relationships with local doctors, and we know how to navigate care after hospital stays without stumbling through it.

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 helps with bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. They prepare meals, remind your parent about medications, do light housekeeping, and provide companionship. They're there to notice if your parent seems confused, isn't eating well, or is having pain they didn't mention to you. They're not a nurse checking vitals, but they're your eyes and ears in the home.
We can usually start within 24 to 48 hours if you call us right away. We coordinate with the discharge planner at Hospital of Central Connecticut to understand your parent's needs, and we brief your caregiver before they arrive at your home. If you're still in the hospital, we can visit to introduce ourselves and talk through the plan.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time in-home caregiving because it's custodial care, not skilled nursing. We can give you a clear picture of costs and help you understand what options might exist through Medicaid, but we're honest that this is an out-of-pocket expense for most families.
A home health aide visits a few times a week for a few hours, usually ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay. Live-In Care is one person, 24 hours or most days, living in your parent's home. The continuity matters, the presence matters, and the relationship that builds over time matters when your parent is aging at home.
Yes. We talk with you about what your parent is like, what they need help with, and what kind of personality clicks with them. We consider experience, language, physical strength, and temperament. We don't always have the perfect match on day one, but we listen and we adjust because the fit matters for both your parent and your caregiver.
We arrange backup care so your parent isn't left alone. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call someone from our team or a trusted backup immediately. We let you know right away so you're not blindsided. We know that consistency matters, but we also know life happens, and we plan for it.
