Endurance Home Care can provide a private caregiver inside assisted living, memory care and other care communities, giving one resident one-to-one company and help alongside everything the community already offers. Care in Facilities is one of its four types of care.

She keeps her community, and gains someone who’s there just for her.

Care in facilities is the same help we give at home, brought to wherever your parent lives now: an assisted living apartment, a memory care neighborhood, a room in a skilled nursing community. The community’s team carries on as usual. Our caregiver adds time that belongs to your parent alone, for the hours you choose. Care in Facilities is one of four types of care Endurance provides, alongside 24/7 care and live-ins, hourly care, and transitional care, and one of every type of care we offer.

What a one to one day holds

A caregiver comes on the schedule you set, spends that time with your parent and keeps your family posted on how the day went.

If getting washed and dressed has become harder, the same visit can include personal care support. We provide personal care in Connecticut and New Jersey. In New York we provide companion care, by the hour, overnight, live-in or around the clock.

Company
Conversation, a game of cards, a walk down the hall, the quiet hour after lunch.
Personal care
Help with bathing, dressing and moving safely from chair to bed, at your parent's pace.
Medication reminders
A friendly reminder when it's time for a medication.
Safety supervision
A familiar person close by through the parts of the day that feel long.
Getting out and about
To the dining room, to activities, and to appointments outside the building.

The community’s own team continues to provide its care and services as usual.

The caregiver who joins your parent

It’s the same careful hiring whether the address is a house or an apartment in a community. Every caregiver passes background checks, reference checks and verification of their qualifications before we hire them.

Then we choose a caregiver for your parent and their routine, and introduce them before the first visit. A good fit matters, and if it isn’t right, we’ll find someone else. We’ll talk the arrangement through with you, and you can schedule a free consultation.

What it costs

The cost depends on how many hours a week you’d like someone there for your parent and which parts of the day they cover. Endurance is private pay, and we’ll explain the options and what they would cost on the call. For more on how families pay, see what home care costs in Connecticut.

$9,118

The 2026 monthly figure for assisted living in Connecticut. A semi-private nursing home room runs $15,208 a month at the same median.

Home care, hourly: $37 to $42
In-home care, 40 hours a week: $6,864

Those are published 2026 Connecticut figures. They aren’t an Endurance quote. What we can tell you is what your parent’s actual hours would cost, and whether a long term care insurance policy is likely to reach it. If there is one, your family can use it, and we’ll help with the policy paperwork. Whatever the arrangement, a customized monthly assessment keeps the plan current, updated for schedule and preferences as they change.

Questions families ask

What does a private caregiver do in assisted living?

A private caregiver from Endurance Home Care spends their time with one resident: company and conversation, help with bathing and dressing, safety supervision, medication reminders, and a steady arm to meals, activities and appointments. The community's own team carries on as usual, the caregiver keeps your family posted, and Endurance runs a customized monthly assessment to keep the plan current.

Can you hire a private caregiver in a nursing home or memory care?

Yes. Care in Facilities is one of Endurance Home Care's four types of care, alongside 24/7 live-in, hourly, and transitional care. Families add an Endurance caregiver to a resident's day in assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing settings, while the community continues to provide its own care and services. Your parent keeps everything the community offers, with someone there just for them.

How are Endurance caregivers screened?

Every Endurance caregiver passes background checks, reference checks and verification of their qualifications and certifications before we hire them. We choose the caregiver with your parent in mind and introduce them before the first visit, and if the match isn't right, we'll find someone else. Fit is what families praise most in Endurance's reviews, with one family noting they were matched right away with an aide who showed true flexibility around scheduling.
