How we walk alongside you

Care that fits your person.

In the final season, comfort and dignity are everything. We work alongside your hospice team to provide gentle personal care and a calm, steady presence.

Just as important, we give family the chance to rest, with respite and overnight support at the hours that are hardest.

Signs it may be time for hospice support at home

  • The family is taking turns sitting up through the night, and no one is truly resting anymore.
  • Your loved one is spending more time in bed and needs gentle help to shift position and stay comfortable.
  • Hospice visits are a comfort, but the long hours in between feel heavy and you worry about someone being alone.
  • Everyday things like meals, laundry and tidying are slipping while everyone focuses on simply being present.
  • You want to step back into being a daughter or son again, instead of managing every detail of care.

Noticing one or two of these does not mean a decision has to be made today. It simply means it may be time for a conversation.

We send more than caregivers. We send good listeners, gentle hands, people who notice the small things: the favorite teacup, the afternoon light, the stories told twice and loved twice.

The small things,
done with care.

Your hospice provider guides the comfort plan and visits on a set schedule, yet the long hours in between are often when a family feels most alone. That is the space we fill, with a familiar, unhurried presence so your loved one is never left waiting and never by themselves. Our caregivers keep the room calm, tend the small comforts, and quietly handle the household, so the people who love them can set the chores aside and simply be together. When the nights are the hardest part, we can stay through them so the family finally rests.

Good questions

Hospice support questions Hartford families ask

How quickly can hospice support begin at home?

Care can usually start within 24 hours, and faster when your loved one is coming home from the hospital. In a hospice situation we know time is precious, so a Care Coordinator moves as quickly as your family needs. Call us and we will begin arranging a caregiver right away.

What does hospice support cost, and how can we pay for it?

You will get a clear quote on your first call, with no guesswork. Families pay in several ways, including private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid, subject to verification. We are glad to walk through the options with you so you know what fits before anything begins.

How do you choose the right caregiver for such a sensitive time?

We match your loved one with a caregiver chosen for a calm, gentle manner and real experience with comfort-focused care. Everyone works for a licensed, bonded and insured Connecticut homemaker and companion agency, so you can feel safe about who is in your home. If the fit is not right, we will re-match at no charge.

Are you a non-medical service, and how is that different from hospice?

Yes, we are a non-medical homemaker and companion service, so we never take the place of your hospice team. Your hospice provider leads the comfort plan and the professional visits, while we provide personal care, companionship and steady hands around the home. The two roles fit together, each doing what it does best.

Can a caregiver stay overnight so our family can sleep?

Yes. Overnight and respite support is one of the most important things we offer during hospice, so someone caring is always nearby while the family rests. Our visits carry a four-hour minimum, and we can arrange longer shifts or overnight coverage as needs change. A Care Coordinator answers 24/7, so help is only a call away at any hour.
