Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting at your parents’ kitchen table on Route 14. Your mom wasn’t quite herself, seemed tired, maybe a little worried about being alone at night. You drove home from work thinking about it for days. That’s when you realized: she needs someone there, not just a few hours a week.

Live-In Care means a trained caregiver in your parent’s home, full-time. They’re there at night. They’re there in the morning. They handle the daily stuff, the worry stuff, and the safety stuff, so your parent can stay put in their own house.
On any given day, you’re looking at help with meals, medications, mobility, personal care, and companionship. A Live-In caregiver notices if your parent is sleeping poorly, eating less, or having a bad day. They’re the eyes and ears your family needs when you can’t be there.
In Scotland and around Windham County, we work with families fresh off a Windham Hospital discharge or those who know an assisted living facility just isn’t going to happen. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time care actually demands, and we set up your caregiver match to last.
Your parent’s home isn’t just a place. It’s their life. We started this work as nurses watching families struggle with the assisted living conversation. Live-In Care gives your parent the choice to stay, with real support around them.
We listen to who your parent is, what matters to them, what they need. Then we find a caregiver who fits. We brief them fully, we stay in touch, and we adjust if something isn’t working.
Live-In Care needs change. A health concern emerges. A family member moves, or life gets busier. You have a real person to call, not a phone tree. We help you adapt the care plan.
We’re part of Windham County. We know the discharge process at Windham Hospital. We know the neighborhoods of Scotland. We can start quickly and know the rhythm of this community.

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
A live-in caregiver helps with meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and getting around the house safely. They keep your parent company, help with light housekeeping and laundry, and watch for any changes in their health or mood. They're there at night in case your parent needs help, and they're the steady presence that lets your parent stay home. What it really means is someone who knows your parent, who your parent trusts, handling the things that used to keep you awake at night.
We can often start within a few days if you contact us right away. Windham Hospital social workers can connect you to us before your parent goes home, which gives us time to listen, ask questions, and find the right match. If you're already home and realizing you need support, we move fast. We'll be honest about timelines based on your specific needs and the availability of the right caregiver for your parent.
Live-In Care is private pay, which means you and your family cover the cost directly. Insurance and Medicare typically cover medical home care, not full-time live-in presence. That's why it's important to talk with us early about what the investment looks like and what fits your budget. We're honest about cost because we've seen families navigate this decision ourselves.
A home health aide usually comes for a few hours several times a week, and they focus on personal care and medical tasks covered by insurance. A live-in caregiver is there all the time, day and night, and they provide the ongoing presence that keeps your parent safe and supported at home. Live-In Care is about continuity. It's about one person who knows your parent deeply, who can spot changes early, and who's present for the hard moments.
Yes. We listen to what your parent needs, what they're like, what matters to them, and what concerns you have. Then we find someone who fits. If your parent needs help with mobility, we find someone strong and experienced with that. If they need someone calm and patient because they're grieving or anxious, we match for that. We brief the caregiver fully and set up a schedule that works for your family.
We have backup coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs time off, we have another trained caregiver ready to step in so there's no gap in care. We understand that consistency matters, so we plan for this before it happens. If something changes longer term, we help you find the next right match and manage the transition carefully.
