Home care in
Avon, CT.
Care in Avon bends around the mountain, the hills on both sides of town, and how far apart the houses sit.
Avon center is relatively flat, and then the land goes up in both directions. Talcott Mountain flanks the east side, and north and west of the center the ground rises into Huckleberry Hill and Woodford Hills. That turns into steep driveways, long walks from the car and paths that glaze over in February. A caregiver here allows extra minutes at the door, clears the step before the visit ends, and does not leave a client to fetch the mail alone.
West of the center, the Pine Grove Historic District stands at the junction of West Avon and Harris Roads, farmhouses built between 1789 and 1856 that were never laid out for a bad hip. The Avon Senior Center is close by at 635 West Avon Road, running a congregate meal program and a Meals and Minds program aimed squarely at isolation. Driving a client there and staying through the afternoon is often the most useful hour of the week. In a town where houses sit this far apart, companionship is not a soft extra.
There is no hospital in Avon, so a discharge means the drive over the mountain from Hartford Hospital, or in from UConn John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington. Two short-term rehab houses are in town, Avon Health Center on West Avon Road and Apple Rehab Avon on Scoville Road, and when that stay ends the fall risk comes home with the person. We can be there within 24 hours, and a visit runs four hours at the shortest, handling the non-medical part of those first weeks: the shower, the stairs, the cooking, the wash, and the small errands nobody else has time for.
Getting to Avon
Avon Town Hall on West Main Street is roughly ten miles from us in Hartford, straight out Albany Avenue and then over Avon Mountain on Route 44. That descent is steep, and it is the one stretch we plan around for weather and for rush hour.

Good questions
Questions from Avon families.
Does Avon Mountain affect when a caregiver can be here?
It does, and we would rather say so. Route 44 comes down into Avon on a steep grade and it backs up at commuter hours. We build slack into Avon scheduling and agree the arrival window with you in advance instead of guessing at it. Call (860) 393-1055 to request a free consultation and we will set times that hold.
How quickly can care start in Avon?
Often within 24 hours of your first call, and faster for a hospital discharge. We do a free in-home consultation and match a caregiver right away.
What does in-home care cost in Avon?
Cost depends on the hours and level of care. Most families pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid can help. You get a clear quote on your first call.
Do you offer 24-hour and live-in care in Avon?
Yes. In Avon we provide everything from a few companionship hours a week to overnight, live-in and around-the-clock care, all from one dedicated caregiver.
Are your caregivers screened and insured?
Every caregiver is background-checked, bonded, insured and trained, and supervised by our Care Coordinator. If the match is not right, we re-match at no charge.
