24/7 Live-In Care in Fairfield County, Connecticut

What Is 24/7 Live-In Care?

Some seniors require care that extends beyond daytime visits. Whether recovering from major surgery, managing a progressive condition, or simply needing someone present overnight for safety, live-in care provides continuous support in the comfort and familiarity of home. A trained caregiver lives in your home, available 24 hours daily, providing care, monitoring, and assistance whenever needed.

TruAura's live-in care services are particularly well-suited for affluent families in Darien, New Canaan, and Greenwich who have the space for a dedicated caregiver and want to ensure clinical oversight throughout the day and night. Our RN designs and supervises every live-in care arrangement to ensure safety, coordination with medical providers, and continuity of care.

How TruAura's RN-Led Approach Makes a Difference

Live-in care without clinical supervision creates serious risks. At TruAura:

• RN-designed care plans: Every 24/7 arrangement is designed by Shelly McConnell, based on your loved one's specific medical conditions, medications, and goals
• Advanced training: Our live-in caregivers receive specialized training in the conditions they'll manage—whether post-surgical recovery, dementia, or complex medical needs
• RN oversight and communication: The supervising RN is available for phone consultation 24/7 and conducts regular in-home visits to monitor care quality and adjust plans as health changes
• Medication and health monitoring: Careful tracking of medications, vital signs, symptoms, and health status—with immediate escalation of concerns to physicians
• Continuity and consistency: We minimize caregiver changes, ensuring your loved one has stable, familiar care relationships
• Coordination with medical team: We communicate directly with hospitals, surgeons, primary care physicians, and specialists to ensure home care aligns with medical recommendations

Signs 24/7 Care May Be Necessary

• Recent major surgery with complex recovery needs
• Diagnosis of advanced or progressive condition (ALS, advanced Parkinson's, stage 4 cancer, etc.)
• Frequent hospitalizations or emergency room visits
• Caregiver exhaustion—family members can't handle current demands alone
• High fall risk or mobility limitations requiring assistance multiple times nightly
• Severe dementia or behavioral changes requiring constant supervision
• Complex medication schedule or medical equipment requiring monitoring
• Living alone with no family nearby and increasing health fragility
