We live in Westfield. Is that part of Middletown?
Yes. Westfield, Newfield and Maromas are all part of the City of Middletown, and a home in any of them is covered like one downtown. Tell us the name you use for your part of town, but it is the street address that goes on the schedule.
My mother only needs someone at night for now. Do we have to book 24-hour care?
No. Overnight care covers the evening to the morning on its own, with an awake caregiver, and 24-hour care is for when someone is needed at every hour. The free Plan of Care sets the hours, and they can be changed as her needs change.
Can a caregiver go with my father to appointments at Middlesex Hospital?
Yes. Going with your father to an appointment is part of hourly care and of 24-hour care: the caregiver accompanies him and looks after his safety along the way. We are not connected to the hospital, so the appointment time and where to arrive come from the department he is seeing. For questions about how we would plan around it, call (860) 829-0208.
My mother lives in Portland, across the river. Do you cover that too?
Yes. Portland is in our approved service area for hourly, overnight and 24-hour care, the same three services as Middletown, so it is the same service and the same phone number on either side of the Arrigoni Bridge. Say which side she is on when you call and give us the street.
