We live in Rowayton. Does that count as Norwalk?
Yes. Rowayton keeps its own ZIP code, its own station and its own taxing district, but it is part of the City of Norwalk and it is covered exactly like the rest of it. If your mail says Rowayton, you are in the right place.
My mother is due home from Norwalk Hospital soon. When should we call?
Now, while the discharge date is still being settled, rather than on the morning she leaves. A few days' notice is what lets us match a caregiver properly instead of sending whoever happens to be free; if it is more urgent than that, say so on the first call and you will get a straight answer about how soon.
How much does companionship or respite care cost in Norwalk?
It depends on the hours and on what they need to cover, so there is no price list on this page to quote from. The free Plan of Care works out the hours; the rate for those hours is something we go through with you on the phone, before anything is agreed.
You are fifty-five miles away. How does getting started actually work?
Mostly by phone, as it does for every town we cover. You call (860) 829-0208 or start the free Plan of Care online, a coordinator goes through it with you, we match a caregiver, and the first visit is set around your week. The caregiver is the part that comes to Norwalk; everything else is a phone call that gets answered.
Can a companion walk with my father by the water?
Yes, at his pace and as far as his plan of care says is safe. Walks are part of companionship care, and from much of East Norwalk and Rowayton the water is close enough to be the walk itself.
