Senior care resources from Endurance Home Care
Endurance Home Care collects its senior care resources here: what care costs in Connecticut, how hospital-to-home transitions work, daily-living dementia support, and aging in place.
Written by the people who actually do the visits, filed here so you can find the one you need tonight.
Published on a monthly cadence since long before this library was rebuilt. Every guide here carries a real named author rather than an anonymous byline, and states its sources in the text where you can check them.
Start where your question is
Almost nobody arrives at a library like this with a topic in mind. They arrive with a night, a phone call, a discharge date. So the drawer is filed the way the questions actually turn up: what it costs, what happens after a hospital stay, what to do when memory changes, and how to keep a house workable for another few years.
The cost guides are anchored to the Long Term Care Navigator Connecticut figures for 2026 rather than a national average, because Connecticut is not the national average. The hospital to home section is anchored by Endurance Homebound, the agency's own transition program, which is why that reading runs more specific than the general advice you will find elsewhere. If you would rather start with what we do than with what to read, the home care services in Stamford are one page away.

The cards pulled most often
Six guides out of the 49 get asked for more than the rest. They are the ones families open at eleven at night, which is a decent argument for putting them at the front of the drawer instead of making anyone go looking.

When reading has taken you as far as it can
One family described the search for help with their mother as being lost in a storm. That is the state most people are in when they find a page like this one, and no amount of reading fixes it by itself. At some point the useful thing is a person on the phone who knows which of these situations you are actually in, and what Connecticut families in the same spot did next.
