Does Endurance Home Care provide home care in Redding?
Yes. We serve families throughout Redding from our Connecticut office at 60 Long Ridge Road in Stamford. Care includes hourly support, live-in care, awake overnight cover and care around the clock, with companionship, personal care with hands-on help and memory support at home. It starts with a registered nurse visiting at home to plan the care with you, and you meet the caregiver before the first visit.
Care options in Redding
In-home senior care for the days, the nights, or both
Some families need a few hours a week. Others want someone there overnight, or living in. Here's what each option looks like at home.
- Hourly careHelp for the hours that are hardest, from a few mornings a week to full days. Easy to add to as needs change.
- Overnight careA caregiver who stays awake through the night hours, there when someone wakes and ready to help them settle again, so everyone in the house gets some rest.
- Live-in careA caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day with meals, routines, company and the house. Agreed rest time, including a night's sleep, is part of the arrangement.
- 24-hour careCaregivers work awake shifts, usually two 12-hour or three 8-hour shifts, so someone is up and ready to help at any hour of the day or night.
Any of these can be companion care, which covers company, meals, light housekeeping, errands and rides, or personal care, which adds hands-on help with bathing, dressing and moving around safely. See how live-in care and 24-hour care differ.

Redding Dial-A-Ride, and the rest of the week
The town runs Redding Dial-A-Ride for older and disabled residents, by appointment and at no charge. It has wheelchair access and a lift, runs on weekdays from 9 to 4:30, and gives priority to medical appointments. It's worth calling the town once to ask how far ahead to book.
A caregiver can help with the trips that come after the medical ones: the shops, the hairdresser, a visit to a friend, and anything in the evening or at the weekend. That is the gap we are most often asked to fill here. Families ring about hospital appointments and discover, once we walk the week with them, that the appointments are handled and the Tuesday afternoons are not.
Day to day, our caregivers help with personal care, bathing, dressing, mobility support and transfers within a caregiver's training, medication reminders, meal preparation, the household routine and companionship. Where a clinical plan already exists, we work alongside it.
Getting started

Questions Redding families ask
Is Redding Dial-A-Ride free?
Yes. It's free and by appointment, on weekdays from 9 to 4:30, with wheelchair access and priority for medical appointments. For trips outside those hours, a caregiver can drive.
Can a caregiver come while I go out?
Yes. Hourly care can cover the hours you need to be elsewhere, whether that's an appointment of your own or an afternoon off. We'll plan the schedule around your week.
Why is care here arranged in longer shifts?
Distance. A one-hour visit with a thirty-minute drive at each end isn't worth buying. Cover in Redding works better in longer blocks and fewer of them, and live-in care often suits this town better than hourly. That comes down to distance. It has nothing to do with how much care someone needs. A caregiver who does not drive cannot work this town.
How do families pay for home care?
Care with Endurance is private pay. If your wife has a long-term care insurance policy, we can help with the policy paperwork. Medicare doesn't pay for ongoing daily help at home.
How soon can care start in Redding?
Tell us when you need help and we'll explain the next steps. First a conversation, then a nurse visit at home, and you meet the caregiver before the first visit.
