Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a caregiver in your parent’s home during the day and night, handling the tasks and supervision that let them stay home safely. It’s not part-time visits. It’s a real presence, someone there to help with meals, medications, movement around the house, personal care, and the small emergencies that happen when you’re not watching. Your parent isn’t alone, and you’re not getting calls at 2 a.m. wondering if they’re okay.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps your parent wake up, take their medications on time, eat breakfast, get dressed, manage appointments, handle bathing and toileting, prepare meals, and settle in for the evening. They watch for changes, keep an eye on mood and appetite, and call you if something shifts. They’re also just there, which sounds simple until you realize how much that actually costs when you hire it piece by piece.
If your parent comes home from Rockville General Hospital or just needs more support than a weekly aide can give, Live-In Care bridges that gap without a move. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical discharge, medication timing, and the difference between a fall risk and a person who’s ready for independence again. We’re local to Somers and Tolland County, so we know your hospital, your neighborhoods, and the real logistics of keeping someone home.
Most families come to us after their parent has already said no to assisted living. We don’t argue. We set up the alternative, and it actually works. Being nurse-founded means we see this every week and know how to make in-home care reliable enough that your parent stops worrying and you stop losing sleep.
We brief every caregiver on your parent’s personality, routines, health needs, and what matters to them. Then we listen to how it’s going and adjust if needed. A good match means your parent actually looks forward to seeing their caregiver, not just tolerating them.
A health decline, a medication shift, a bad week, a hospital visit, concerns from family, a caregiver who gets sick. You have a nurse and a coordinator you can actually reach, not a call center and a callback promise three days later.
We know the discharge process at Rockville General Hospital, the neighborhoods in Somers where you actually live, and how to set up care that works with the local doctors and pharmacies your parent already uses. We’re not learning the area as we go.

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 caregiver arrives in the morning and stays through the night, or vice versa depending on your setup. They help with medications at the right times, prepare meals, assist with bathing and dressing, handle toileting and incontinence care, do light housekeeping related to your parent's needs, accompany them to appointments, and keep them safe and engaged. They're there to prevent falls, catch health changes early, and make sure your parent eats and takes what they're supposed to take. The caregiver also calls you or our coordinator if anything concerns them.
We typically start within three to five business days if you call us while your parent is still in the hospital. That gives us time to get a full briefing from you, match a caregiver, and do a walkthrough of the home before discharge day. If your parent is already home and you need care to start sooner, we can often arrange same-week placement. The faster the better, especially right after hospitalization when fall risk and medication timing are critical.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover part-time skilled nursing or home health aide visits, not full-time in-home caregiving. That said, the cost of Live-In Care is usually less than a month at assisted living, and your parent stays home. We can discuss payment options and what your parent might be able to use from other benefits or savings to offset the cost.
A home health aide comes for a few hours a few times a week, usually through an insurance-covered program. They help with personal care during those visits. Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent's home all day and night, handling everything that needs to happen across 24 hours, not just scheduled windows. There's continuity, supervision around the clock, and someone there if your parent falls at 3 a.m. or forgets to take a dose of medication.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, medical needs, routines, preferences, and any particular concerns. Then we find a caregiver who fits that picture and is available in your area of Somers. We do an introduction before they start and stay in touch as they settle in. If the match isn't quite right after a week or two, we work to adjust it. A good match is everything.
We have backup caregivers in the Somers and Tolland County area who know our standards and can step in if your regular caregiver is sick or takes time off. We let you know in advance whenever possible. You're never left scrambling, and your parent isn't confused by a stranger walking in unannounced. Continuity and reliability are the whole point.
