We say we live in Mill Plain, not Danbury. Does that matter?
No. Mill Plain, Beaverbrook, Great Plain, Germantown and the other sections are all part of the City of Danbury, and a home in any of them is covered like every other. Tell us the section if that is how you think of it; the street address is all the schedule needs.
I live out of state and my mother is in Danbury. Can I arrange care from where I am?
Yes, and the person who calls us is often not the person in the house. You, or a sibling nearer by, can call (860) 829-0208 or start the free Plan of Care online; a coordinator goes through it with whoever is arranging things, and the caregiver comes to your mother's home in Danbury.
Do you publish rates for Danbury?
No, and nothing on this page is a quote. What a week costs depends on the hours and on what has to be covered, so the Plan of Care comes first and sets out the hours; we then talk through the rate with you on the phone before you commit to anything.
Can a companion go with my mother to Elmwood Hall?
Yes. Going along to senior-center programs is part of companionship care, at her pace. Elmwood Hall is the city's own center for residents 60 and over, run by Danbury's Department of Elderly Services; we are not connected to it, so its hours, classes and the city's own van program are best asked about at 203-797-4686.
Can you send someone who speaks Spanish, Polish or Italian?
Between them our caregivers speak English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish and Italian. Say on the first call what is spoken in the house and we match on it as far as the caregivers available for your hours allow; if a language is not possible for the hours you need, you will hear that from us straight away rather than on the day the caregiver arrives.
