Home care in
Tolland, CT.
Tolland the town, around Tolland Green, rather than the whole of Tolland County, is where we have begun taking families, a little under half an hour out I-84.
Tolland has no hospital of its own, so a hospital stay ends in another town: Manchester Memorial Hospital on Haynes Street in Manchester, Johnson Memorial Hospital on Chestnut Hill Road in Stafford Springs, or Hartford Hospital and Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford. Inside the town line, Woodlake at Tolland on Shenipsit Lake Road takes short-term rehab stays. Whichever it is, let us know the discharge date early. What a Golden Touch caregiver brings to the house after that is the ordinary day: meals, bathing and dressing, reminders, laundry, errands, and company through the hours the family cannot cover.
Most of Tolland is houses on lots of around two acres, with woods between the developments and two state forests inside the town line. That changes how a shift runs. Homes are spread out, so groceries, the pharmacy and appointments are car trips, and a caregiver plans them into the visit instead of squeezing them in at the end. Tolland also sits higher than Hartford and is colder, and it gets blizzards and ice storms in winter, so on a bad morning the first job is checking the steps and the walk before anyone goes out. The driveway and the entrance are worth looking at together before the first winter visit.
The Tolland Senior Center at 674 Tolland Stage Road runs programs for residents 60 and over, including a weekly lunch and exercise classes, and a caregiver can plan the day so your parent gets there and back. The senior center's pages also point residents to HVCC Dial-a-Ride for medical appointments and shopping trips, and visits can be timed around those booked rides. The town lists three senior housing complexes: Old Post Village at 763 Tolland Stage Road, Winding River at 1127 Tolland Stage Road, and Access Housing at Parker Place at 100 Old Post Road. If your parent lives in one of them, we would work around whatever the building provides. Ellington, Vernon and Mansfield, which are also in Tolland County, have their own pages on this site.
Getting to Tolland
Tolland Town Hall, in the Hicks Memorial Municipal Center at 21 Tolland Green, is 21.0 miles from our Park Street office, about 27 minutes out I-84 on clear roads. Rush hour on I-84 east of Hartford will add to that.

Questions from Tolland families.
Winters in Tolland are harder than in Hartford. What happens to a visit on a bad morning?
It is a fair worry, and part of why we are careful about promises here. Tolland is about 21 miles from our Park Street office, just under half an hour on clear roads and longer in a storm, and because we are new to the town, the right caregiver for your parent's hours may still need to be found. Before care begins we would agree with you what happens when the roads are bad: who calls whom, and whether a visit moves to another time. On that first call we will also be straight about how soon someone can start. Request a free consultation on (860) 393-1055.
How soon can a caregiver start in Tolland?
Tolland is newer ground for us, so we do not quote a start time before we have talked. On the first call we will tell you plainly how soon a caregiver can be in place for the hours you need, and if we cannot cover them, we will say so and point you to someone who can.
What does in-home care cost in Tolland?
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.
Can you provide 24-hour or live-in care in Tolland?
Live-in and around-the-clock care are part of what we offer, from one dedicated caregiver. For Tolland, tell us the hours you need on the first call and we will tell you honestly whether we can staff them.
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.
