Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a full-time caregiver living in your parent’s home. They’re there overnight, they’re there during the day. They handle the physical tasks, the meal prep, the medication reminders, the falls, the confusion at 3 a.m. It’s not a nurse making visits. It’s a presence.
You see it day-to-day: someone helping with bathing and dressing, cooking meals your parent will actually eat, keeping the house safe, driving to appointments, noticing changes before they become emergencies. The caregiver keeps a log. They call you with updates. Your parent stays in their own space, their own routine, their own neighborhood in Vernon.
Families who’ve had someone discharged from Rockville General Hospital often turn to Live-In Care when they realize the recovery period stretches longer than expected. Being nurse-founded means we understand what happens after discharge, what medications matter, when a small change signals something bigger. We know Tolland County, we know Vernon, we know the hospital’s discharge process from the inside.
Our founder is a nurse who arranged care for her own family. We’re not here to pitch you on a service we’ve never needed ourselves. Live-In Care works because we built it around real situations, the parent who refuses to move, the sibling who lives out of state, the exhaustion of trying to do it alone.
Matching isn’t a form you fill out. We talk to you, we talk to your parent, we understand what full-time presence looks like in your home. Then we brief the caregiver on everything they need to know. Experience matters. We place caregivers who’ve done this before.
A live-in situation changes. Your parent gets sick. The caregiver needs a day off. You call us and get a real person, not a voicemail. We’ve arranged backup coverage. We troubleshoot with you the same day.
We’re not a national agency guessing at local hospital systems. We work with Rockville General Hospital regularly. We know the doctors, the discharge coordinators, the pharmacies your parent trusts. We can talk to them directly and speak the same language.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Live-In Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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.
Why families trust us

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver is there from morning through night, and they're there overnight too. They help with bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming. They prepare meals based on any dietary needs. They give medications on schedule. They help with movement, transfers, walking. They keep the home clean and safe. They drive to appointments or errands. They watch for changes, keep a log, and call you with updates. They're also someone your parent sees every day, talks to, has a routine with.
If you call us before discharge, we can often have someone in place within days. Hospitals move fast with discharge planning. We talk directly with the hospital discharge team at Rockville General, review the medical summary, and get the caregiver briefed on medications, restrictions, what to watch for. If it's emergency or urgent, we have caregivers who can start with short notice. The faster we know, the faster we can match and prepare.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare doesn't cover full-time in-home care, and most insurance won't either. That said, some people use long-term care insurance if they have it, or personal care rider policies. We can talk through what you might qualify for, but you should plan for this as an out-of-pocket expense. We're honest about cost because families need to budget for it.
A home health aide visits a few hours a day, usually ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. Live-In Care is full-time, 24 hours in your home, and it's private pay. An aide might come three times a week for two hours. A live-in caregiver is there every day, every night. The difference is presence. When your parent needs help at 2 a.m., a live-in is already there.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent, their personality, any medical needs, what matters to them, whether they need someone who can lift, drive, cook, or speak another language. We listen for what will actually work in your home. Then we match someone with the right experience and fit. We don't just send whoever's available. We get it right the first time when we can.
We arrange backup coverage. If your regular caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we have someone ready to step in. You don't scramble, you don't cancel your day. We've already planned for it. If it's a longer absence, we work on finding a permanent match. We stay in touch with you about what's happening and when it's resolved.
