Providing Home Care Services since 2000 in CT, MA, NH, and NY
Elderly Caregivers can improve your aging loved one’s quality of life by providing compassionate, one-on-one home care and companionship in the comfort of their home.
Our personalized and affordable services are available 7 days a week and can range from a few hours to 24/7 live in care. We offer early onset dementia and Alzheimer’s care.
We don’t just care for our clients, we form lasting relationships with them.
Avoid sending your loved ones to a nursing home, in an unfamiliar environment. Our clients never have to leave the comforts of their homes. We provide them with companionship, security and assist with a wide variety of daily activities.
Our caregivers are sweet, caring, skilled, pre-screened, pre-qualified and come with complete background checks. They are here to help your elderly family member enjoy living at home.
Homecare Is the Best Medicine.
Home means something different to everyone. It may be a favorite chair beside the window, a familiar kitchen, or a neighborhood filled with years of memories. When an older adult needs more help, those everyday comforts still matter.
Elderly Caregivers provides personalized, non-medical home care in Southbury, Connecticut. Our patient, compassionate caregivers help older adults with daily routines while respecting their dignity, preferences, and independence.
Whether your family needs personal care, companionship, Alzheimer’s and dementia home care, 24-hour support, or assistance after a hospital stay, we are here to help you understand your options.
Call (203) 628-7438 to discuss home care for your loved one in Southbury.
Finding care involves more than choosing a list of services. You are inviting someone into your loved one’s home and trusting that person with routines that can feel deeply personal.
We believe a useful conversation starts with the person receiving care:
What does a comfortable day look like?
Which activities are becoming difficult?
What can your loved one still do independently?
When would help be most welcome?
What concerns are family members carrying?
Which preferences should a caregiver understand?
These details help shape support around daily life. One person may need assistance getting ready in the morning. Another may need companionship and meals during the day. A family managing memory changes may be looking for more consistent supervision and help with personal routines.
Elderly Caregivers serves Southbury from our Danbury office and offers care plans tailored to individual needs.
Memory changes can affect the whole family. A spouse may find it harder to step away, and adult children may be trying to understand how much help their parent needs.
Elderly Caregivers offers Alzheimer’s and dementia home care. Our team can discuss your loved one’s routines, personal care needs, and supervision needs as you explore support at home.
Share the details that make your family member who they are: a favorite activity, a preferred meal, a familiar daily rhythm, or an approach that helps them feel comfortable. These details belong in the conversation about care.
Some families need more support than a few visits each week. Concerns may include being alone overnight, needing help at different times of day, or requiring frequent assistance with personal care.
Elderly Caregivers offers 24-hour and live-in care options. These arrangements should be discussed carefully because the caregiver schedule, rest arrangements, and overnight coverage may differ.
Tell us how often your loved one needs assistance during the day and night so we can explain available options.
Coming home after a hospital or rehabilitation stay can be a welcome milestone. It can also introduce questions about meals, personal care, household tasks, and who will be available to help.
Our Hospital-to-Home program provides non-medical assistance during this transition. Families can discuss care before discharge and identify the everyday help their loved one may need at home.
Non-medical support complements separately arranged nursing, therapy, and other healthcare services.
Elderly Caregivers offers home care for veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily living. Contact our team to discuss available services and your family’s needs.
If you are also exploring veterans benefits, ask the appropriate benefits office about eligibility and covered services. Arranging home care and confirming benefits are separate steps.
Asking for help with bathing, dressing, or toileting can be difficult. A patient caregiver can make these moments more comfortable by respecting privacy, explaining what comes next, and allowing the person to participate.
Our personal care services may include:
Bathing, dressing, and grooming assistance.
Toileting and incontinence care.
Help with walking and transferring.
Meal preparation and eating assistance.
Medication reminders.
Light housekeeping and laundry.
Daily living reminders and safety supervision.
Your loved one’s care plan determines which services are appropriate.
Living alone can make ordinary tasks feel larger. Preparing a meal for one, keeping up with laundry, or spending long stretches without conversation may become discouraging.
Companionship and household assistance provide practical support along with human connection. A caregiver can share conversation, help prepare meals, and assist with light housekeeping while your loved one remains in familiar surroundings.
For many Southbury seniors, remaining at home means staying close to neighbors, familiar places, and routines built over many years.
Heritage Village is one of Southbury’s established communities for adults age 55 and older. Families considering care for a loved one there may be asking how to add support while preserving the independence that drew them to the community.
A conversation about home care can begin with a specific challenge:
Getting dressed has become tiring.
Laundry is difficult to manage.
A spouse needs help during certain hours.
Family members live too far away to visit regularly.
Returning home after rehabilitation requires extra preparation.
Your loved one does not need to have every detail figured out before calling. We can start with what is happening now and discuss what assistance may help.
Danbury Hospital is a Nuvance Health hospital located at 24 Hospital Avenue in Danbury. It is a regional hospital resource for families whose physicians and specialists practice within that system.

Before a loved one leaves a hospital or rehabilitation setting, it helps to understand what the first day and night at home will look like.
Consider discussing these questions with the discharge team:
What assistance will be needed with bathing, dressing, toileting, and meals?
Will someone need to stay overnight?
Are nursing or therapy services being ordered?
What equipment needs to be in place before arrival?
Who will explain medication changes?
Which follow-up appointments need to be scheduled?
What changes should prompt a call to the medical team?
Who should the family contact after hours?
Then identify who will handle each responsibility. A family member may arrange appointments, a medical professional may provide treatment, and a non-medical caregiver may assist with everyday routines.
Call (203) 628-7438 to discuss non-medical support for a return home to Southbury.

Helping an aging parent can become a second job, even when it begins with small tasks. Over time, you may find yourself arranging meals, checking in throughout the day, managing appointments, and worrying about what happens when you are unavailable.
For adult children living outside Southbury, distance can make these concerns feel larger. For a spouse providing daily care, it may be difficult to find time for rest or personal appointments.
A useful starting point is to list the responsibilities currently falling on family members. Identify which tasks require a healthcare professional, which can be shared among relatives, and which may fit a non-medical home care plan.
Asking for help gives your family an opportunity to build a more manageable routine.
When speaking with a home care agency, ask questions that connect directly to your loved one’s daily needs:
Which personal care tasks can your caregivers provide?
How do you learn about a client’s routines and preferences?
How do you approach caregiver matching?
What happens if a scheduled caregiver is unavailable?
What overnight assistance does the proposed arrangement include?
How should family members communicate concerns?
How are changes in care needs handled?
What are the rates, minimum scheduling requirements, and cancellation terms?
Share practical details, including stairs, pets, mobility equipment, preferred wake-up times, and who should be contacted about scheduling. The clearer the conversation, the easier it is to understand whether a proposed arrangement fits.
