Care options in Wallingford
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 Wallingford
The Wallingford Senior Center and its rides
The Senior Center is run for the Town by the nonprofit Wallingford Committee on Aging, so you'll find it on the Committee's own website. Its rides are for Wallingford residents 60 and over, within Wallingford, booked at least two business days ahead, with medical appointments given priority.
A caregiver can drive your mother to appointments outside Wallingford or to see friends and family, and help with the rest of her day. If visiting is what's actually keeping someone well, it's worth paying for outright. We're also there for the couple of weeks after a discharge.

Questions Wallingford families ask
Who runs the Wallingford Senior Center?
The nonprofit Wallingford Committee on Aging runs it for the Town, so its programs and ride bookings are on the Committee's website. The center is at 238 Washington Street.
Can a caregiver drive my mother outside Wallingford?
Yes. Rides to appointments, errands and visits can be part of the care plan, wherever they are. Tell us the regular trips when we talk and we'll build them into the schedule.
What if my mother 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 mother 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 Wallingford?
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.
