Service area
Home care in
Manchester, CT.
Manchester has its own hospital, a mill town center and thirteen named neighborhoods, and we plan our week around getting out here properly.
Manchester Memorial Hospital on Haynes Street is the rare thing in our service area, a hospital inside the town it serves, so a discharge here is usually a short ride home. Families also mention the Arbors of Hop Brook on West Center Street. The first two weeks back at home are where things tend to slip, and that is what a caregiver is for: getting someone washed and dressed, cooking something they will actually eat, and keeping the house running while their strength comes back.
The town's planning department maps thirteen neighborhoods, many of them carrying the name of the neighborhood elementary school, so Manchester families say Keeney, Verplanck, Waddell, Bowers or Highland Park the way other towns say north end and south end. Tell us the neighborhood and we already have a fair idea what we are walking into. Buckland Hills in the north is the retail side of town, while Case Mountain sits in the thinly settled southeast corner, which is the hilly quarter and worth flagging if the driveway is long.
The signature Manchester address is a converted Cheney silk mill, and the Cheney Brothers Historic District is a National Historic Landmark. A mill conversion can mean an elevator and a level entry, which is a genuine advantage, and it can also mean long interior corridors and a walk from the parking lot that a person with a walker feels every time. Elsewhere in town we are often at West Hill Gardens on Ada Lane, Spencer Village on Pascal Lane, Mayfair Gardens on North Main Street, Crockett Fields on North Elm Street or Orford Village on West Center Street, and the Manchester Senior Center on East Middle Turnpike is where a lot of Manchester routines still start.
Getting to Manchester
Manchester Town Hall on Center Street is just under ten miles from our Park Street office, about sixteen minutes on a clear run, with I-84 the direct link through East Hartford. It is the one town in this group that is a real trip rather than a hop.

Good questions
Questions from Manchester families.
Manchester is further out than your other towns. Does that limit what you can offer here?
No. It does mean we schedule Manchester in blocks rather than scattering single visits across the day, and we try to match families with caregivers already out that way. Visits start at a four hour minimum, which is the same everywhere we work. Once a caregiver is assigned they stay with your loved one, so the distance shows up in our planning, not in your week. Call (860) 393-1055 to request a free consultation.
How quickly can care start in Manchester?
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 Manchester?
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 Manchester?
Yes. In Manchester 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.
