Areas We Serve
Non-medical home care across Connecticut and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Acuity Homecare LLC is a family-owned, non-medical private duty home care agency based in Shelton, Connecticut. Our hourly caregivers serve families in Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, and Litchfield Counties. When a few hours of help each day is no longer enough, we offer live-in caregivers anywhere in Connecticut. We also provide home care and live-in caregivers on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Wherever your loved one lives, our focus is the same: everyday, non-medical support at home, including personal care, meal preparation, companionship, respite for family caregivers, non-medical support for chronic conditions, and companionship and comfort during serious illness, alongside the client’s hospice or medical team. We do not provide medical, nursing, or skilled care.
In Connecticut, Acuity Homecare is registered as a homemaker-companion agency with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, registration HCA.0001496.
Fairfield County
Fairfield County is home base for us. Our office is at 4 Research Drive in Shelton, so the families we serve here are our neighbors. Many adult children in the county are balancing commutes, work, and kids while keeping an eye on an aging parent. Our hourly caregivers help share that load, whether your loved one lives in a condo in Stamford or a longtime family house in Monroe. We also serve families in Greenwich, Stamford, and Bridgeport.
Fairfield County towns we serve include:
- Shelton
- Greenwich
- Stamford
- Bridgeport
- Norwalk
- Trumbull
- Stratford
- Monroe
- Danbury
New Haven County
New Haven County is full of close-knit neighborhoods, from city blocks in New Haven and Waterbury to the river towns of Derby and Ansonia. Many seniors here have lived in the same home for decades and want to keep it that way. Our Shelton office sits just across the Housatonic, a short drive from much of the county, and our hourly caregivers help make staying at home possible.
New Haven County communities we serve include:
- New Haven
- Milford
- Derby
- Ansonia
- Orange
- Hamden
- Waterbury
Hartford County
When a parent in Hartford County starts needing a little more help, families often wonder whether it is still safe to live alone and how to keep caregiving going without burning out. Our hourly caregivers serve the county from the city of Hartford to suburban towns like West Hartford and Glastonbury and up to Enfield near the Massachusetts line, with practical, non-medical support that respects your loved one’s independence.
Hartford County towns we serve include:
- Hartford
- West Hartford
- Glastonbury
- Manchester
- Farmington
- Bristol
- Enfield
Litchfield County
Litchfield County is known for its hills, back roads, and small towns, and for people who value their independence. For seniors on a quiet road or in a village home, staying at home can also mean long stretches without seeing anyone, with family an hour or more away. Regular companionship visits bring conversation and someone who notices how your loved one is doing, and we work to keep distant family members informed.
Litchfield County towns we serve include:
- Torrington
- Litchfield
- New Milford
- Watertown
- Winsted
- Washington
Live-In Care Anywhere in Connecticut
Our hourly care is focused on the four counties above, but our live-in caregivers are available statewide, in every corner of Connecticut. Live-in care lets your loved one stay in the home they know while someone is there throughout the day to help with personal care, meals, companionship, and daily routines. It can also help when you and your parent live in different parts of the state. Because we offer both hourly and live-in options, care can change as your loved one’s needs change.

Cape Cod towns we serve include:
- Barnstable and Hyannis
- Falmouth
- Sandwich
- Bourne
- Mashpee

Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t see your town?
Please give us a call. The towns above are examples, not a complete list. Hourly care is available in Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, and Litchfield Counties, and live-in care is available anywhere in Connecticut. We will let you know whether we can help.
My parent lives in a different part of the state than I do. Can you still help?
Yes. Many families arrange care from a distance. We can handle the consultation by phone and work with you as the family contact even if you do not live with your parent.
Is your home care medical?
No. Acuity Homecare provides non-medical care only, such as personal care, meals, companionship, and respite. Medical care is left to licensed medical providers.
Can we start with hourly care and switch to live-in later?
Yes. Some families start with a few visits a week, while others need someone in the home from the beginning. Because we offer both hourly and live-in care in Connecticut, your loved one’s plan can change as their needs change.
What happens during the home safety assessment?
We walk through the home using a 100-point checklist for everyday safety concerns, such as tripping hazards, slippery bathroom floors, steep stairs, and poor lighting, and share practical suggestions with you. Like the consultation, it is free.
Get Started With a Free Consultation
You do not need to have everything figured out before you reach out. Call Acuity Homecare at 203-295-0274 or email info@acuityhomecare.com to schedule your free consultation and free 100-point home safety assessment. We will talk through your loved one’s needs, look through the home for everyday hazards, and build a non-medical care plan around how your loved one likes to live.
