Personal Assistance & Companions
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, light housekeeping, errands and getting to appointments, plus real companionship and conversation. Care is scheduled by the hour to fit your family’s routine.
Chronic Condition Support
Non-medical, day-to-day help for people living with ongoing conditions. That can mean reminders, routines, encouragement and an extra set of eyes at home, working alongside your doctors and health care providers.
Companionship During Serious Illness
Gentle, compassionate companionship and personal care when a loved one is seriously ill, alongside the client’s hospice or medical team, so families can focus on being together.
Compassionate, Professional Caregivers
Our clients and their families come first. When you call Acuity Homecare you’ll speak with a family-owned team that takes the time to understand your loved one’s routines, preferences and goals. Then we build a care plan around them.
- Family-owned and local. We’re based at 4 Research Drive in Shelton, CT, and serve families across Connecticut and on Cape Cod.
- Personalized care plans. Care is matched to your loved one’s needs and adjusted as those needs change.
- Clear, ongoing communication. Families stay informed and involved in decisions.
- Non-medical, private duty care. We focus on daily living, safety and companionship, not medical or nursing services. That makes us a good complement to the medical care your loved one already receives.
- Registered with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection as a homemaker-companion agency (HCA.0001496).
Not sure what kind of care you need?
That’s what the free consultation is for. Call us, tell us what’s going on, and we’ll walk you through your options. There’s no obligation.
Free Consultation & 100-Point Home Safety Assessment
Safety matters to us as much as quality of care. Every family can get a free, comprehensive 100-point home safety assessment that looks at the living areas inside your home, the outside of the home and the surrounding areas. We look for possible hazards early, before they lead to a fall or injury.
After the assessment, we can recommend home modifications and connect you with local resources to get them done. It’s an easy, practical first step even if you aren’t ready to start care yet.

Family-Centered Care
We believe the best home care is a partnership. With family-centered care, you and your loved one decide who “family” is and how involved each person wants to be in care and decisions. We work with you to create a personalized care plan. With your permission, we also coordinate with the rest of your loved one’s care team, including physicians, health care agencies and therapists, so everyone works toward the same goals.
Our Family Room has resources and updates for the families we serve.
