Serving Branford from our Stamford office
Home care in Branford
If your father in Branford is finding the house and the routine harder to keep up with, a caregiver can take on the tiring parts so his days feel like his own again. It starts with a conversation about what he needs.
The first conversation is free, and nothing starts until you say so.

Care options in Branford
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.

Branford's medical rides
Branford Medical Transportation, run by the town's Parks, Recreation and Senior Services, is free for Branford residents 21 and over and goes to medical appointments in Branford and nearby towns. Every rider has an in-person intake before the first trip. Appointment times need to fall between 9 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, and the town suggests booking up to a week ahead because rides fill up.
A caregiver can take your father to the afternoon appointments the van can't fit, and help on the days around them. If he hasn't had his intake yet, it's worth arranging before a ride is needed. Beyond the van, we're for the afternoons, the evenings, the weekends and the couple of weeks after a discharge. Tell us the schedule on the first call and we'll tell you what fits.

Questions Branford families ask
Who can use Branford's medical transportation?
Branford residents 21 and over, after an in-person intake. Appointments need to fall between 9 and 1, so ask for a morning slot when you book. A caregiver can drive your father to anything later in the day.
We live a few hours away. How will we know how Dad is doing?
Your Care Manager keeps you posted on a schedule you agree together, and you can call us any time you want to talk something through. You'll know who to call when something changes.
What if my father also needs nursing or therapy?
For skilled nursing, home health aides or physical therapy, Endurance Home Health, our separate company that provides them in Connecticut only, can help. Our caregivers handle daily life: personal care, meals, the house, medication reminders and company, and where a doctor or a home health nurse already has a plan running, we build our hours around it.
How do families pay for home care?
Care with Endurance is private pay. If your father 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 Branford?
Tell us when you need help and we'll explain the next steps. It starts with a conversation, then a nurse visit at home, and you meet the caregiver before the first visit.
