Home care in
New Britain, CT.
Care in New Britain often starts the week someone comes home from Grand Street, to a building with interior stairs and a shared front door.
New Britain is one of the few places we serve where the hospital is right there in the city. The Hospital of Central Connecticut stands on Grand Street, and Hospital for Special Care is out on Corbin Avenue. For short-term rehab there is Grandview Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, also on Grand Street, Autumn Lake Healthcare at New Britain on Brittany Farms Road, Jerome Home on Corbin Avenue and Monsignor Bojnowski Manor on Pulaski Street. When a family calls with a discharge date from any of those, we can usually have a caregiver in place within 24 hours.
The city names its own neighborhoods formally, through the Arch Street, East Side, North and Oak, and Broad Street Neighborhood Revitalization Zones. Broad Street is also Little Poland, where Polish businesses and families have been part of the street for well over a century. Around Walnut Hill Park the picture splits again: the West End streets went up in the late 1800s and early 1900s on generous lots with deep setbacks, while the Walnut Hill District next to them is older, tighter wood-frame housing. A caregiver working the East Side in the morning and the West End in the afternoon is working in two different kinds of building, and we staff for that.
A lot of New Britain housing is attached or multi-unit rather than detached, which in practice means shared entries, a flight or two of interior stairs, and no driveway to unload the groceries into. We plan shifts around the walk from the car and the trip up to the apartment. For clients who no longer drive, downtown New Britain is the southern end of the CTfastrak line running to Union Station in Hartford, and the Senior Center on Pearl Street is a fixed point in a lot of our clients' weeks. Arbor Rose at Jerome Home on Corbin Avenue is the assisted living community in the city if home stops being workable.
Getting to New Britain
From 696 Park Street in Hartford it is about 10.7 miles to New Britain City Hall on West Main Street, roughly 17 minutes when traffic is light, out on I-84 west and then down Route 9. Coming the other way, CTfastrak runs from downtown New Britain straight to Union Station.

Good questions
Questions from New Britain families.
My father's apartment is a second-floor walk-up. Can a caregiver still help him there?
Yes, and it is normal work for us in New Britain, where a lot of housing is attached or multi-unit rather than detached. Request a free consultation on (860) 393-1055 and we will look at the stairs, the shared entry, where a car can actually stop, and how groceries get up. Then we set the schedule and the tasks around what that building asks of him and of you.
How quickly can care start in New Britain?
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 New Britain?
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 New Britain?
Yes. In New Britain we provide everything from a few companionship hours a week to overnight, live-in and around-the-clock care, all from one dedicated caregiver.
