Live-In Care in Pomfret, CT
A live-in caregiver who stays in the home full-time, the most consistent alternative to a facility.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom mentioned at Thanksgiving that she’d noticed Mrs. Fletcher from down the road wasn’t at church anymore, and that’s when it hit you: your own parent is spending most days in that chair by the window, and the idea of moving them to a facility feels impossible. A neighbor’s call about a fall that happened hours before you knew about it, or a discharge from Day Kimball Hospital where the social worker gently suggested you need more support at home, can shift everything in an afternoon. Live-In Care means someone is there, full-time, in your Pomfret home, so your parent stays put and you can finally breathe.

Live-In Care is a caregiver in your home during the day, evening, or around the clock, depending on what your parent needs. They’re present for meals, medication reminders, mobility help, personal care, and the hundred small moments that add up to safety and dignity. It’s not medical nursing unless that’s part of the plan, but it’s constant attention and someone who knows your parent’s routine inside and out.
On a typical day, you’ll see your caregiver handling breakfast and lunch, checking that medications were taken, helping with bathing or dressing if needed, managing laundry and light housekeeping, accompanying your parent to appointments, and just being there so nothing goes unnoticed. Evening hours often include meal prep, more medication checks, and quiet companionship. The caregiver keeps you informed about changes, mood, appetite, and any concerns so you’re never wondering what’s happening when you’re at work or at home.
Families in Pomfret often choose Live-In Care right after a Day Kimball Hospital discharge, when a parent’s condition has shifted and staying home suddenly feels urgent. We were founded by a nurse who lived through the exact gap between hospital discharge and real, steady support, so we understand what full-time presence actually requires. That background shapes how we match caregivers, brief them on your parent’s history, and stay reachable when things change.
Our founder is a nurse who watched families struggle with the space between hospital care and going it alone. We don’t use corporate language about care because we’ve sat in those conversations ourselves. When you call, you’re talking to people who understand why your parent won’t leave their home and why that’s okay.
We spend time learning who your parent is, what they need, and what personality fit actually means. Before any caregiver arrives, they know your parent’s schedule, preferences, health history, and the small things that matter. That groundwork means the first day isn’t a guessing game.
Live-In Care situations change, and you need someone who picks up the phone and thinks through the next step with you. We’re not handing you a caregiver and disappearing. We’re here when you need a backup, when your parent’s needs grow, or when you need to talk through what’s happening.
We know the discharge process at Day Kimball Hospital, the rhythms of Putnam and Woodstock, and the specific challenges of rural Windham County care. That local knowledge helps us move fast and match caregivers who understand the area and your family’s actual situation.

Common questions
A Live-In caregiver handles meals, medication reminders, bathing and dressing help if needed, light housekeeping, laundry, and companionship. They're there to notice if your parent isn't eating, if they've fallen, if they're confused, or if something feels off. They keep you updated regularly so you know what's happening. The goal is full-time presence that keeps your parent safe and comfortable at home, without you carrying it alone.
We can often start within a few days of a discharge, depending on your timeline and our current availability. We work with the Day Kimball discharge team to understand what your parent needs and coordinate the transition home. If you're already home and realizing you need support, we can usually have a caregiver in place within a week. We'll talk through your urgency and match accordingly.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you and your family pay directly. It's not covered by Medicare or most traditional insurance plans because it's not medical nursing care. We're honest about the investment upfront so there are no surprises. Some families use long-term care insurance, personal savings, or family contributions to cover the cost.
Home health aides come for a few hours a few times a week, covered by insurance if ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care is full-time presence, usually 8, 12, or 24 hours a day. Home health aides focus on medical tasks, while Live-In caregivers focus on daily life, companionship, safety, and making sure nothing goes unnoticed. If your parent needs both, we can coordinate.
Yes, and that's exactly what we do. We learn about your parent's personality, health needs, routines, and preferences, then match a caregiver who fits. We're small enough to know our caregivers well and intentional about the fit. The first conversation with us is about understanding your parent, not just filling a slot.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's needs and routine so coverage doesn't fall apart. If your regular caregiver is sick or can't work a shift, we step in quickly. You'll know ahead of time who the backup is, and we'll brief them on what your parent needs. Your continuity and peace of mind matter.
