Home care in
Farmington, CT.
In Farmington the hospital a loved one comes home from is often right there in town, and we start on the day they walk back through their own door.
UConn John Dempsey Hospital sits on Farmington Avenue, which makes a Farmington discharge a short ride home rather than a highway trip. Others come back from Amberwoods of Farmington on Colt Highway, from the New Britain General campus of The Hospital of Central Connecticut, or from Mount Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital in Hartford. Whichever door it is, we can begin at home within 24 hours, with four hours as the shortest visit. Golden Touch is a non-medical homemaker and companion agency, so the help is practical: getting washed and dressed, a hot meal, the laundry, the shopping, and a reminder when something is due.
Farmington is really several places. Unionville, the northwestern section, has its own ZIP code and holds the town's Senior Center at 321 New Britain Avenue, open on weekdays to area seniors 50 and over. Town Hall on Monteith Drive sits in River Glen, and the older core along Route 10 between Route 4 and Route 6 is the historic district, mostly Greek Revival houses put up before 1835. Those center houses come with the stairs and thresholds of their age, so help with bathing and dressing gets scheduled around them.
Access is the wrinkle here. Farmington Woods is a gated condominium community, so a caregiver needs credentials arranged before the first shift rather than sorted out at the gate at seven in the morning. We settle that with the family up front. The Town also runs Dial-A-Ride and senior transportation, and we plan around those rides instead of duplicating them.
Getting to Farmington
Farmington Town Hall on Monteith Drive is a little over eleven miles from our Park Street office, out on Interstate 84 and off onto Route 4, Farmington Avenue. I-84 westbound slows badly at the end of the workday, which is why we set Farmington visit times with you rather than guessing.

Good questions
Questions from Farmington families.
Do you cover Unionville, or only Farmington center?
Both. Unionville is the northwestern section of Farmington, with its own ZIP code, and it is where the town's Senior Center sits at 321 New Britain Avenue. We also serve River Glen, the Route 10 historic district and the rest of the town. The same caregiver comes each visit, and we can usually begin within 24 hours of your call to (860) 393-1055 to request a free consultation.
How quickly can care start in Farmington?
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 Farmington?
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 Farmington?
Yes. In Farmington we provide everything from a few companionship hours a week to overnight, live-in and around-the-clock care, all from one dedicated caregiver.
