Home care in
East Hartford, CT.
Everything about care in East Hartford runs across three bridges, and we cross them every week.
A discharge in East Hartford always starts somewhere else: Hartford Hospital, Saint Francis Hospital or Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital across the river, or Manchester Memorial Hospital out east on Haynes Street. In town, Riverside Health and Rehabilitation on Main Street is the name families bring us most. Whichever address it is, the week after homecoming sets the tone for the month that follows. A caregiver can be in place within 24 hours to cook, help with a shower, keep the laundry moving and stay through the hours nobody else can cover.
The housing here is unusually easy to read. Mayberry Village went up in 1941 on the old Cannon farm as housing for Pratt and Whitney workers, with the upper section mostly multiple-unit construction and the New Village side single homes and duplexes, and residents were allowed to buy their units in 1956. Burnside, Hockanum and Silver Lane are the older, more urban parts of town. The ground is the good news here: East Hartford sits flat on the east bank of the Connecticut River, so a walker, a rollator and a slow lap around the block are far more workable than they would be on a hillside street.
The East Hartford Senior Center at 15 Milbrook Drive is open to residents 55 and over and, unusually, to their caregivers as well, and it stays open into the evening on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The town also has a Commission on Aging and runs its own senior transportation service. Much of our work is in buildings like Rochambeau Apartments on Silver Lane, Hockanum Park on Hamilton Road, Willow Arms and Hartford East on Main Street, and Saint Elizabeth Manor on Applegate Lane. If your parent is more comfortable in Spanish, say so early and we will keep that in front of us when we pick the caregiver.
Getting to East Hartford
East Hartford Town Hall on Main Street is under three miles from the Park Street office, roughly a six minute drive with clear roads. In practice the crossing decides it, whether that is the Bulkeley carrying I-84, the Founders Bridge carrying Route 2, or the Charter Oak carrying Route 15 and US 5.

Good questions
Questions from East Hartford families.
What happens to my father's visit if there is a problem on one of the bridges?
It is a fair question, because those three crossings are the only road link between East Hartford and Hartford. We check the approaches before a shift, send caregivers out early when traffic is backing up, and route by way of a different bridge when one is blocked. If a visit is going to run late, you get a phone call rather than a surprise. Request a free consultation on (860) 393-1055 and we will build the crossings into the schedule.
How quickly can care start in East Hartford?
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 East Hartford?
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 East Hartford?
Yes. In East Hartford 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.
