Serving Sharon from our Stamford office
Home care in Sharon
In Sharon, Geer Dial-A-Ride handles rides to medical appointments and errands, and the town's Social Services agent at Town Hall can point your family to local help. A live-in caregiver is there around both. Tell us what's changed, and we'll plan the care with you.
The first conversation is free, and nothing starts until you say so.
Does Endurance Home Care provide home care in Sharon?
Yes. We provide live-in home care throughout Sharon from our Stamford office. A caregiver lives in the home and helps through the day with meals, routines, company and the house, as companion care or personal care with hands-on help, with agreed rest time built in. A registered nurse comes to the house first to write the care plan with you, and you meet the caregiver before the first day.
Care options in Sharon
Live-in care, with someone there through the day
In Litchfield County our care is live-in. A caregiver lives in the home, keeps the day running and is there when your parent needs a hand.
Live-in care 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. How live-in care works.
Rides from Geer, and the days the bus comes
Sharon is in the primary service area of Geer Dial-A-Ride, which runs Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 4:30 for riders over 60 and for people with disabilities. Geer's own page gives more than one notice rule, so book as early as you can and confirm the notice with Geer when you sign up. Its Just One Call service will phone the doctor's office to schedule the appointment and arrange the ride. The Northwest CT Transit Dial-A-Ride also serves Sharon, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, with 24 hours' notice and a $2.00 one-way fare.
A live-in caregiver can drive your mother when the appointment comes up the same day, on the days the transit bus isn't running, or on a weekend, and can stay with her through the visit and get her settled at home after.
Social Services at Town Hall, and a warm place to walk
Sharon's Social Service Agent evaluates residents' needs and offers information, referrals and resources, from the second floor of Town Hall at 63 Main Street, Tuesday to Thursday from 8 to noon and 1 to 4. Energy assistance applications are on the bookshelf outside her office. The state's tax program for elderly homeowners is handled through the Assessor's office, and Northwest CARES is a coalition of agencies that serve older residents across the northwest corner.
From October through April, Sharon Parks and Recreation runs a free indoor walking program at the Hotchkiss School on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:00 to 8:30 AM. A caregiver can go along for the walk, then be there for breakfast, the paperwork and the rest of the day.

Questions Sharon families ask
How far ahead do I book Geer Dial-A-Ride in Sharon?
Geer's own page gives more than one notice rule, so book early and confirm the notice with Geer. It runs Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 4:30 for riders over 60 and for people with disabilities. For a same-day trip, an evening or a weekend, a caregiver can drive your parent and stay for the visit.
Is there a bus that serves Sharon?
The Northwest CT Transit Dial-A-Ride serves Sharon on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Reservations need at least 24 hours' notice, and a one-way trip is $2.00. A live-in caregiver is there on the other days of the week.
Who can my family talk to at Sharon Town Hall about local help?
Sharon's Social Service Agent evaluates residents' needs and provides information, referrals and resources. Her office on the second floor of Town Hall is open Tuesday to Thursday, 8 to noon and 1 to 4, or by appointment. A caregiver can help your parent follow through on whatever she suggests.
How do families pay for home care?
Care with Endurance is private pay. If your parent has a long-term care insurance policy, we can help with the policy paperwork. Medicare does not pay for ongoing daily help at home.
