Serving Guilford from our Stamford office
Home care in Guilford
When your husband in Guilford needs more help than he used to, you don't have to manage every hour of it yourself. A caregiver can share the load, and we'll help you decide which hours to start with.
The first conversation is free, and nothing starts until you say so.
Does Endurance Home Care provide home care in Guilford?
Yes. We help families throughout Guilford from our 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. We choose your caregiver and introduce them before the first visit, after a registered nurse has visited at home to write the care plan with you.
Care options in Guilford
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.

Getting around Guilford
The Guilford Senior Citizens Program runs a town van for residents 55 and over, within Guilford, for errands, food shopping, medical appointments and the hairdresser, booked a day ahead. XtraMile, an on-demand accessible service run by River Valley Transit, covers all of Guilford and Madison on weekdays from 6 in the morning to 7 at night and on Saturdays, once a rider has set up an account.
A caregiver can drive your husband to appointments outside Guilford, help in the evenings and on Sundays, or go with him when he'd rather not go alone. If he's admitted to hospital in New Haven, we can cover the trip there, visits while he's in, and the couple of weeks after he comes home.
Getting started

It starts with a conversation, and nothing begins until you say so.
A conversation

Questions Guilford families ask
Does the Guilford town van go to New Haven?
The town van stays within Guilford. A caregiver can drive your husband to appointments in New Haven or anywhere else, and wait with him if that helps.
Can someone be with my husband overnight so I can sleep?
Yes. An overnight caregiver stays awake through the night hours, there if he wakes and ready to help him settle again, so you can get some rest.
What if my husband 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 husband 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 Guilford?
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.
