In-Home Care & Caregivers in Darien

Compassionate, carefully matched caregivers serving Darien seniors and their families.

Gentle Touch Home Assist provides live-in and 24-hour care across Darien, for someone who can no longer safely be by themselves.

The two are not the same arrangement and they are constantly confused. Live-in care is one caregiver who lives in the home and sleeps there overnight; it suits someone whose nights are broadly quiet. Twenty-four-hour care is a rotation of caregivers with one awake at every hour, for someone who needs help whatever the time. We will tell you plainly which one fits, even when it is the more expensive answer.

Both can begin as smaller arrangements and grow. Personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation and companionship are included throughout. Everything starts with a free in-home assessment.

Why Families in Darien Call Us

Live-in or 24-hour

The deciding question is whether the nights are genuinely quiet. If they are not, live-in care is the wrong fit and we will say so.

Build up to it

Most families reach full-time care gradually. Starting with overnights or long days is usually the better first step.

Cover that holds

Days off and sickness are covered by a caregiver the family has already met, not whoever happens to be free.
