Home care in
Windham, CT.
Many addresses here say Willimantic, but Willimantic is part of the town of Windham, along with Windham Center, North Windham and South Windham, and Golden Touch is now open to families in all four.
Willimantic has its own hospital: Windham Hospital on Mansfield Avenue, part of Hartford HealthCare, the same system as Hartford Hospital. Short-term rehab stays happen close by at Vanderman Place on Valley Street, beside the hospital, and elsewhere in town at St. Joseph Living Center on Club Road and Douglas Manor on North Road. The sooner we know which of these your parent is leaving, and when, the sooner we can start looking for the right caregiver. What a Golden Touch caregiver would take on is non-medical: help getting washed and dressed, cooking, the laundry and the shopping, reminders through the day, and company while strength comes back.
Willimantic was known as Thread City for the thread mills along the Willimantic River, and its houses still show that history. Prospect Hill, the residential district north of Main Street, has one of the largest concentrations of Victorian houses in Connecticut. A house that old can mean porch steps, steep narrow stairs and a bathroom one floor up from the kitchen, so we would look at all three with you before agreeing on a schedule. Outside the old city, Windham Center, North Windham and South Windham are less built up, and Route 6 bypasses Willimantic on its way to North Windham, so drive times between Windham addresses can vary a good deal.
The Windham Senior Center is at 1 Jillson Square, in the Windham Community Center that opened in 2022. Anyone 55 and over can join, membership is free for Windham residents, and the center runs a senior nutrition program and Meals on Wheels, with activities that include senior swim and aqua aerobics, so a caregiver can plan a visit around a class or a lunch there. Among the Willimantic Housing Authority's buildings, John Ashton Towers and Wilbur Cross Apartments are high-rises for elderly and disabled residents, with laundry facilities in each building. Father Honan Terrace and Jonathan Trumbull Terrace are garden-style apartments for elderly and disabled residents, with a laundromat on the premises, so knowing where your parent lives tells a caregiver how the washing will get done. The senior center's membership form comes in Spanish as well as English. If Spanish is the language spoken at home, say so when you call and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Getting to Windham
Windham Town Hall at 979 Main Street in Willimantic is 29.1 miles from our Park Street office, about 41 minutes on clear roads by way of I-84, I-384 and Route 6, a few minutes beyond Mansfield. That is a real trip, not a local run, and I-84 traffic or an address in North or South Windham will add to it.

Questions from Windham families.
Our address says Willimantic. Is that covered under Windham?
Yes. Willimantic is part of the town of Windham, so a Willimantic address is included, just as Windham Center, North Windham and South Windham are. We are new to the area and our office is on Park Street in Hartford, about 41 minutes away on clear roads, so we may need to recruit and introduce a caregiver before visits can begin. We will tell you how long that is likely to take before you commit to anything. Request a free consultation on (860) 393-1055.
How soon can a caregiver start in Windham?
Windham 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 Windham?
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 Windham?
Live-in and around-the-clock care are part of what we offer, from one dedicated caregiver. For Windham, 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.
