Home Care in
Hartford County
That Answers the Phone

When a parent starts needing help at home, most families don't know where to begin. We do this every day. Call us, tell us what's going on, and we'll tell you honestly what kind of care fits: hourly, live-in, or somewhere in between.

Connecticut licensed and insured (DCP HCA #0002903). Every caregiver is background-checked before they ever enter a client's home.
Locally owned and operated in Farmington, not a national franchise. The person who builds your care plan is the person accountable for it.

No obligation. We'll listen first, then tell you what we'd recommend, even if that's not us.

How It Works

Three Steps From
First Call to First Shift

You don't need to have it all figured out before you call. Most families who reach us are starting from "Mom fell last week and we're worried." That's enough.

Tell Us What's Going On

Call or send the form. We'll ask about your loved one's routine, health, home, and what's changed. You'll get straight answers about what level of care makes sense and what it costs, in that first conversation, not after three follow-up calls.

Meet Your Caregiver Match

We select a caregiver based on your loved one's needs, schedule, and personality, not whoever happens to have an open slot. You approve the match before care begins. If it's ever not the right fit, we change it. No friction, no guilt.

Care Starts, and We Stay Involved

Care usually begins within a few days of the assessment. We check in with your family regularly, adjust the plan as needs change, and stay reachable. You will never wonder who to call.

What We Offer

Home Care Services Built Around
Your Family's Situation

All of our care is non-medical and fully customized. Some clients need four hours a week. Some need someone there around the clock. We'll help you figure out which one you are.

Companionship

Companion Services

Loneliness does real damage to mood, appetite, and health. Our companion caregivers share meals, run errands together, play cards, take walks, and keep your loved one connected to their own life. We match by personality, because a companion who doesn't click isn't companionship.

Daily Living

Personal Care Assistance

Hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and getting around the house safely. Our caregivers are trained to provide this care in a way that protects your loved one's privacy and pride: help that feels like support, not supervision.

Household

Homemaker Services

Meal preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, dishes, and keeping the home safe and livable. Often the first service families start with, and often the one that lets a parent stay in their own house years longer.

Full Coverage

Live-In Home Care

A dedicated caregiver resides in your loved one's home, providing continuous presence, daily support, and real peace of mind. Live-in care is often the most affordable path to around-the-clock coverage. We'll explain how it works, what it costs, and how it compares to 24-hour shift care.

Overnight & Around the Clock

24-Hour Home Care

Caregivers in rotating shifts, so someone is awake and attentive at every hour, day and night. The right fit when your loved one needs active help overnight, is at fall risk after dark, or is living with advancing dementia. We'll help you decide between 24-hour care and live-in care.

Chore Support

Grocery runs, prescription pickups, tidying, seasonal tasks, and the small jobs that pile up. Practical help that keeps daily life running and takes pressure off family members who've been absorbing it all.

Respite Care

If you're the one providing care, you already know: you can't pour from an empty cup. We step in for an afternoon, a weekend, or a few weeks so you can rest, travel, or just breathe, knowing your loved one is in professional hands.

Getting There Safely

Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation

Most home care agencies can't get your loved one to a doctor's appointment. We can. Through our affiliated transportation company, we arrange safe, wheelchair-accessible rides to medical appointments, therapy, and errands, with a caregiver accompanying when needed. One call covers the care and the ride.

Why Havenwood

What You Can
Expect From Us

You talk to a decision-maker.

Havenwood is locally owned. When you call, you're not routed through a national call center to a franchise office. The person who answers can actually answer.

Honest recommendations, including "you don't need us yet."

Some families call us before they need paid care. We'll tell you that. We'd rather earn your trust now and your business when the time is right.

Pricing you'll understand in the first conversation.

No "call for a quote" runaround. We explain hourly, live-in, and 24-hour pricing up front so you can plan.

Caregivers we'd send to our own family.

Background checks, reference verification, and skills assessment before hiring, and matching based on fit, not availability.

About Havenwood Care

A Local Agency, Built
the Old-Fashioned Way

Havenwood Care is a Connecticut-licensed home care agency based in Farmington, serving families across Hartford County. We started with a simple observation: families navigating home care for the first time are overwhelmed, and most agencies make it harder: vague pricing, slow callbacks, revolving-door caregivers.

We built Havenwood to be the opposite. Clear answers on the first call. Careful caregiver matching. Consistent faces. And an owner who stays personally involved in every client relationship.

  • Licensed and insured with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, HCA #0002903. You can verify our license anytime at elicense.ct.gov.

  • Every caregiver is background-checked, reference-verified, and skills-assessed before joining Havenwood.

  • Care plans are living documents, reviewed regularly and adjusted as your loved one's needs change.

  • One point of contact for your family, from first call onward.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything families ask us before getting started.

Non-medical home care covers help with everyday living: bathing, dressing, meals, mobility, companionship, housekeeping, and errands. It doesn't include nursing tasks like wound care or injections. In Connecticut, agencies like ours are licensed by the Department of Consumer Protection as homemaker-companion agencies. If your loved one also needs skilled nursing, we'll tell you, and non-medical care often works alongside it.
It depends on the level of care. Hourly care is billed by the hour with a minimum shift length; live-in and 24-hour care are structured differently. We explain exact rates in your first phone call. No forms required first, no surprises later. Long-term care insurance often covers our services, and we'll help you understand what your policy pays.
In most cases, within a few days of your in-home assessment. If your situation is urgent, like a hospital discharge or a sudden change, call us and we'll move as fast as we responsibly can.
Yes. Every caregiver passes a background check, reference verification, and skills assessment before placement, and Havenwood Care is fully licensed and insured in Connecticut (DCP HCA #0002903).
A live-in caregiver lives in your loved one's home and sleeps there, with required rest periods. 24-hour care uses caregivers in rotating shifts, so someone is awake at all times. Live-in generally costs less; 24-hour care fits clients who need active help through the night. We'll walk you through which fits your situation.
Often, yes. Long-term care insurance commonly covers non-medical home care. Connecticut also runs programs such as the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders (CHCPE) that help eligible seniors pay for care at home. During your consultation we'll help you identify what your loved one may qualify for.
Yes to both. Consistency is the goal: your loved one should see familiar faces. And if a match ever isn't working, tell us once and we'll fix it.
