In-Home Care Services in Litchfield County, CT
Every senior and family has different needs, which is why A Place At Home – Litchfield takes a personalized approach to in-home care. Our caregivers can provide anything from occasional help with activities of daily living (ADLs) and companionship to more comprehensive support for seniors who need regular supervision or assistance. Here are some of the home care services we offer.
If your parent or spouse would rather stay in their own home than move into a facility, our elderly care services give them the support to do it safely. Our caregivers help with everyday things that have started to get harder including bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and rides to appointments. Every care plan is built around one person’s routine and preferences, not a template.
Seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia usually do best in a place that already feels familiar. Our dementia care services are designed to support your loved one through each stage while they remain at home. Our caregivers assist with personal care and daily structure, and they’re trained to respond to confusion, agitation, and restlessness with patience instead of correction.
Our Parkinson’s home care supports individuals living with the disease in maintaining independence at home for as long as possible. Caregivers help with mobility and transfers, grooming, medication reminders on a strict schedule, and meal preparation, adjusting as symptoms change. We also provide the steady companionship and emotional support that matters more as the disease progresses, and we coordinate with your loved one’s physicians and therapists so everyone is working from the same plan.
The first few weeks home after a hospital stay or a joint replacement are when things tend to go wrong. Our after-surgery care helps seniors recover where they’re most comfortable. Caregivers assist with bathing and dressing, medication reminders, meals, mobility, and getting to follow-up visits and physical therapy, and they keep an eye out for the early warning signs that lead to a readmission.
Our caregivers take the time to know the person they’re caring for. Alongside hands-on help with hygiene, mobility, and daily routines, they sit down for real conversation, share a meal, work on a puzzle, or get back into a hobby that fell away. For a lot of the seniors we serve, the company matters as much as the care does.
Nights are often the hardest part for family caregivers. With overnight care, a caregiver is awake and available through the night to help with bathroom trips, wandering, sundowning, or simple reassurance. Respite care covers the daytime hours you need for work, errands, an appointment of your own, or a week away without guilt. Both are available on a regular schedule or as needed.
Non-Medical Home Care in Litchfield, CT
A Place At Home – Litchfield provides non-medical home care tailored to each senior’s needs, routines, and preferences. It starts with a conversation. We sit down with your loved one and your family to understand what is working, where they need help, and what would make daily life easier. From there, we develop a written care plan and schedule. Once you approve the plan, we match your loved one with a caregiver whose experience and personality are a good fit.
Our non-medical services include help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility and transfers, toileting, and eating. We can also provide the household and practical support that helps seniors remain comfortable, safe, and independent at home.

We Are CARE

Our aim is dependable, affordable in-home senior care that keeps your loved one safe and comfortable at home and gives you back the time to be a son or daughter again instead of a full-time caregiver.

We’re registered as a Homemaker-Companion Agency with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, which means we meet the state’s requirements for non-medical home care providers, including comprehensive criminal background checks on every employee, a written service contract and plan of care, and bonding that protects our clients. Our caregivers are employees, not independent contractors. We hire them, vet them, train them, insure them, and supervise them, so that responsibility never lands back on your family.

Litchfield County In-Home Care FAQs
Home health care is clinical. It involves nurses and therapists performing medical services, usually ordered by a physician after a hospital stay. Home care, which is what we provide, is non-medical. Our caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, medication reminders, housekeeping, transportation, and companionship. Plenty of families use both at once, and we coordinate with visiting nurses all the time.
No. Most of the people we care for are older adults, but we also support younger adults recovering from surgery, living with a chronic condition, or managing a disability. If someone needs help getting through the day at home, we can help.
Absolutely, and many families do. A few mornings a week is a common starting point, often for help with bathing and a ride to appointments. Care can expand whenever it needs to. Starting small also makes the introduction easier for a loved one who is not sure about having someone in the house.
That is the goal, and we work hard at it. Consistency is what turns a caregiver into someone your loved one trusts, and it matters enormously for anyone with memory loss. When your regular caregiver is sick or on vacation, we send a backup who has been briefed on the care plan. You will never get a call saying nobody is coming.
Medicare generally does not cover non-medical home care, though it may cover skilled home health services. Long-term care insurance often does cover it. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA benefits, including Aid and Attendance, that help with the cost. Connecticut also has state programs that assist some families. We will walk you through what applies to your situation and where to start.
