Live-In Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home full time, awake during the day and present overnight. It’s not just help with tasks. It’s another person there, watching, noticing, keeping your parent safe and supported while they stay in the place they know.
A typical day includes medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, personal care, and companionship. Your caregiver keeps an eye on how your parent is really doing, watches for changes, and reports back to you. They’re the person who notices when something shifts, who knows the routine, who can respond if something happens at 2 a.m.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually protects against. When your parent is discharged from Day Kimball Hospital or faces the reality that they need someone there, we know how to set up care that works. We’ve built this agency on what we learned from our own families, and we bring that experience to every placement in Windham County.
We built this agency because we’ve lived this with our own families. Your parent doesn’t want assisted living, and frankly, neither would most of us. Live-In Care keeps them home, keeps their dignity intact, and gives you the peace of mind that someone trustworthy is there.
We don’t just send someone over. We listen to what your parent needs, who they are, what makes them comfortable. Then we match a caregiver who fits, not just in skills but in personality and presence. Years of experience means we get this right the first time, most of the time.
Live-In Care situations shift. Your parent’s health changes, your caregiver needs a day off, a new need comes up. We’re here when that happens, returning your calls, adjusting the plan, making sure nothing falls through.
We’re local. We know how Day Kimball Hospital discharges work and what your parent needs when they come home. We work with the doctors and therapists you already know, and we understand the rhythm of care in Putnam, Thompson, Killingly, and Pomfret.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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 is there from early morning through the night. They handle medications, prepare meals, help with bathing and dressing if needed, manage light housekeeping, and provide companionship. They're keeping an eye on how your parent is really doing, noticing changes in mood, appetite, or health. They're also the person your parent talks to, the person who makes sure they're not alone.
We can usually have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, sometimes faster if we've had time to prepare. We work directly with Day Kimball's discharge team to understand what your parent needs and to make sure the transition home is safe. The sooner we know what's happening, the sooner we can match the right person and get them ready.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance don't cover full-time in-home caregiving because it's not considered a medical service. We're honest about this upfront so you can plan. We can discuss rates and what different levels of care look like for your family's budget.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day and helps with specific medical or personal tasks. Live-In Care is full-time presence, someone there around the clock. The caregiver isn't medically focused but is trained to notice changes and keep your parent safe, engaged, and supported all day and all night.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about who your parent is, what they need, what they like, and who might be a good match. We have caregivers in Putnam and the surrounding towns who know the community. We listen first, then match carefully, because the right person makes all the difference.
We arrange backup coverage so there's no gap. We notify you right away, and we have trained caregivers ready to step in. Your parent's routine continues, and their care doesn't stop. We keep a list of reliable people and plan ahead so this doesn't leave you scrambling.
