Home care in
West Hartford, CT.
From Bishops Corner down to Elmwood, West Hartford is a town where staying at home is genuinely realistic, and our job is to keep it that way.
There is no hospital inside the town line, so a West Hartford discharge almost always begins somewhere else. Saint Francis Hospital on Woodland Street in Hartford is the closest, and Hartford Hospital and Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital send people home here too. In town, Saint Mary Home on Albany Avenue and the Hebrew Center for Health and Rehabilitation on Abrahms Boulevard are the names families mention most. Request a free consultation before the discharge date and the house can be set up before the car pulls into the driveway.
Ask what changes a care plan here and the honest answer is the driveway and the stairs. The northern and western sections were built out after the war with colonials, ranches and split levels, so single-level living is a real option in a way it rarely is closer to the city, while the western edge climbs toward Talcott Mountain and the trap rock ridge, which means sloped streets and long inclined driveways. Elmwood, south of I-84, is mostly older single-family homes and duplexes on flatter ground. A split level with a half flight between the kitchen and the bedroom is a different daily problem from a ranch, and we plan the shift around whichever one you have.
The town runs two senior centers, Elmwood on New Britain Avenue and Bishops Corner on Starkel Road, both open from age 55 with one membership covering both. If your parent is at the Alfred E. Plant apartments on Farmington Avenue, where there are two elevators, or at Elm Grove on Grove Street, where the one-bedroom units are garden style and on one level, the access question is already settled and we can put our attention on the care itself. Everywhere else we look at the entrance, the bathroom and the stairs before we agree on a schedule.
Getting to West Hartford
West Hartford Town Hall on South Main Street is about 3.3 miles from our Park Street office, near a seven minute drive when the roads are clear. Prospect Avenue is the boundary between the two towns, and I-84 is the main link across.

Good questions
Questions from West Hartford families.
Do you cover both sides of I-84, including Elmwood?
Yes. I-84 splits Elmwood off from the rest of West Hartford, but it does not split our coverage. We take clients on Park Road and in Elmwood as readily as in Bishops Corner, West Hartford Center or up near West Hill, and the same caregiver stays with your loved one wherever in town they live. Call (860) 393-1055 and we will talk the schedule through.
How quickly can care start in West Hartford?
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 West Hartford?
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 West Hartford?
Yes. In West Hartford 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.
