Care options in Hamden
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.

Hamden's senior bus needs a week's notice
Hamden Elderly Services runs a senior mini-bus to doctor's appointments, errands, shopping and the senior center, for a small fee. The town asks riders to call one week in advance to schedule a trip.
That suits regular appointments well. For the trips that come up with less warning, a caregiver can drive, and help with the rest of the day around them. The unplanned week, after something nobody saw coming, is exactly what we're for. Tell us the schedule on the call, and we'll say what it should cost.

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

Questions Hamden families ask
How far ahead do we book the Hamden senior bus?
The town asks for a week's notice. For an appointment that comes up sooner, a caregiver can drive your parent there and back.
Can you help when my mother comes home from the hospital?
Yes. We can plan help around the day she comes home, from a few hours a day to someone there overnight, and change the plan with you as her needs change.
What if my parent 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 parent has a long-term care insurance policy, we can help with the policy paperwork. Medicare doesn't pay for ongoing daily help at home.
