Live-In Home Care Anywhere in Connecticut

Non-medical, family-owned live-in caregivers available statewide in Connecticut.

Some families reach a point where a few hours of help each day is no longer enough. Maybe Mom is uneasy being alone at night, or Dad needs a steady hand from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed. Live-in care lets your loved one stay in the home they know while someone is there throughout the day to help.

Acuity Homecare LLC is a family-owned, non-medical private duty home care agency based in Shelton. While our hourly caregivers serve four counties, our live-in caregivers are available statewide in Connecticut, from the shoreline to the northwest hills and the Quiet Corner.

What Live-In Care Includes

Live-in care is non-medical, everyday support from a caregiver who stays in the home. Depending on what your family needs, that can include:

Personal care: help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting ready for the day.
Meals: planning and preparing meals and keeping the kitchen tidy afterward.
Companionship: conversation, cards, puzzles, walks, and a familiar face at the table.
Steady routines: a calm, predictable rhythm to each day, which many seniors find comforting.
Support with ongoing health conditions: non-medical help with daily living for people managing chronic conditions, so routines stay on track.
Respite for family: a live-in arrangement can give a spouse or adult child who has been doing everything the chance to rest and simply be family again.
Companionship during serious illness: non-medical comfort and companionship for your loved one and family, alongside the client’s hospice or medical team.

Please note that our caregivers do not provide medical, nursing, or skilled care. Any medical needs should continue to be handled by your loved one’s doctors, nurses, or hospice provider.
