Serving North Haven from our Stamford office
Home care in North Haven
If your wife needs more help at home than you can give on your own, a caregiver can share the load so you both get some rest. Care in North Haven starts with a conversation about how your days go now.
The first conversation is free, and nothing starts until you say so.

Care options in North Haven
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.

Towns near North Haven
The North Haven senior bus
North Haven's town bus is for residents 62 and over, and it goes within North Haven and nearby parts of Hamden. Medical rides can be booked up to three months ahead. Friday shopping trips are booked by noon on Thursday.
A caregiver can drive your wife to appointments further afield, including New Haven, and help on the days the bus doesn't fit: getting ready, a meal, errands and some company.
Coming home after a hospital stay
If your wife is coming home after a hospital stay, we can plan help around the day she comes home, so the first days are covered. We're there for the hospital trips, the evenings and the couple of weeks after a discharge. As she settles, your Care Manager adjusts the hours with you.

Questions North Haven families ask
Can the North Haven bus take my wife to New Haven?
The town bus goes within North Haven and nearby parts of Hamden. A caregiver can drive her to appointments in New Haven or anywhere else as part of the care plan.
Can someone be with her overnight?
Yes. An overnight caregiver stays awake through the night hours, so she has help if she wakes and you get some sleep. Overnights can be the whole plan or added to daytime hours.
What if my wife 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 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 North Haven?
Tell us when you need help and we'll explain the next steps. It begins with a conversation, then a nurse visit at home, and you meet the caregiver before the first visit.
