Home care in
Glastonbury, CT.
Glastonbury families usually call us the week the help a parent needs at home has quietly outgrown what one adult child can manage.
Most Glastonbury calls reach us as a short rehab stay is ending. Families are coming home from Salmon Brook Rehab on Salmon Brook Drive, or from the Hebron Avenue facility now called Glastonbury Center for Health and Rehabilitation, which older referral lists still print as Glastonbury Health Care Center. Others cross back over the river from Hartford Hospital or Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital on Blue Hills Avenue. We can start at home within 24 hours of that call, on a 4-hour minimum, covering the non-medical side of the day: the shower, getting dressed, the cooking, the wash and the errands.
Glastonbury begins on the banks of the Connecticut River and climbs into foothills toward Minnechaug Mountain and Kongscut Mountain, so the address changes the work. Along Main Street between Hebron Avenue and Talcott Road, the historic district is full of Colonial, Greek Revival and Queen Anne houses, some of them standing before 1800, which in daily life means steep stairs, high thresholds and the only full bathroom upstairs. South Glastonbury, on High, Hopewell, Main and Water Streets, asks the same of an aging body. A caregiver there spends real attention on the staircase, the tub and the back step.
Not every Glastonbury client is in a house. The town assessor's own condominium list marks Autumn Lane Estates, East Carriage, Fairfield Village, Meadow Hill and Rockhaven as 55 and over communities, and the work in those units leans toward meals, laundry, company and rides. The Glastonbury Senior Center sits inside the Riverfront Community Center at 300 Welles Street and is open to residents 50 and over. We schedule around its Dial-A-Ride and the Friendship Circle Memory Program rather than replacing them.
Getting to Glastonbury
Glastonbury Town Hall on Main Street is about eight miles from our Park Street office, down through the center of Hartford onto Route 2, then out by Route 17 and the New London Turnpike. Route 2 fills up at commuter hours, so we build that into Glastonbury scheduling instead of promising a time we cannot hold.

Good questions
Questions from Glastonbury families.
My mother is coming home to an older house in South Glastonbury and her bedroom is upstairs. What can you actually do?
Quite a lot, as long as it is non-medical. A caregiver can stand by on the stairs, help with bathing, dressing and getting to the bathroom, bring a meal up on a bad day, and keep the kitchen and laundry going below. We also clear the routes people trip on. Request a free consultation on (860) 393-1055 and we will walk the house with you.
How quickly can care start in Glastonbury?
Often within 24 hours of your first call, and faster for a hospital discharge. We do a free in-home consultation and match a caregiver right away.
What does in-home care cost in Glastonbury?
Cost depends on the hours and level of care. Most families pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid can help. You get a clear quote on your first call.
Do you offer 24-hour and live-in care in Glastonbury?
Yes. In Glastonbury we provide everything from a few companionship hours a week to overnight, live-in and around-the-clock care, all from one dedicated caregiver.
Are your caregivers screened and insured?
Every caregiver is background-checked, bonded, insured and trained, and supervised by our Care Coordinator. If the match is not right, we re-match at no charge.
