My father lives in Forestville. Is that covered, or only Bristol?
Forestville is part of the City of Bristol, so it is covered, as are Edgewood, Federal Hill, Chippens Hill and the rest. If you are not sure whether an address falls inside the city line, give us the street when you call and we will check it.
What is the difference between overnight care and 24-hour care?
Overnight care is an awake caregiver from evening to morning. 24-hour care adds the daytime: caregivers work rotating awake shifts, so someone is alert at every hour, and going with your loved one to appointments is part of it. In neither case does a caregiver sleep in the home, so you do not need a spare room.
What is the shortest hourly visit I can book?
Hourly visits start at three hours and can be any day of the week, with no cap on how many hours or visits a day. If the need changes, the hours can be increased, reduced or moved by talking to your client manager at (860) 829-0208.
My mother is being discharged from Bristol Hospital. Where do we start?
With a phone call, ideally before the day itself. What she needs in the first weeks decides the service: a few hours a day, an awake caregiver at night, or someone at every hour. The free Plan of Care puts those hours on paper, and the plan can change as her needs do.
