Havenwood Care provides in-home care for Newington families: personal care, live-in and 24-hour care, companionship, homemaker services, and respite for family caregivers. We are a locally owned, Connecticut-licensed agency (DCP HCA #0002903) based in neighboring Farmington, close enough that assessments and caregiver introductions in Newington happen fast.
Newington is also home to one of Connecticut's VA medical campuses, and many of the town's seniors are veterans or the spouses of veterans. If that describes your family, we will help you understand the support that may be available, and we will say plainly what we do and do not know.
Or call us. We will explain your options and exact pricing in one conversation.
Every service we offer is available throughout Newington, delivered by background-checked caregivers and built around a written care plan your family approves.
Through our sister company, Corporate Wheelchair Transportation, we also arrange wheelchair-accessible transportation to appointments and outings, including to the Newington VA campus, with a caregiver accompanying when needed.
About one in five Newington residents is 65 or older, roughly six thousand seniors, and the town built real infrastructure for them. Our service area covers all of Newington, from the streets around Newington Center and Mill Pond Park to the Cedar Mountain side of town and the neighborhoods off the Berlin Turnpike.
The Newington Senior and Disabled Center on Cedar Street is one of the better senior centers in the county, and one of the few built for older adults and adults with disabilities alike: a daily exercise room, woodshop, computer lab, pickleball, a packed monthly program calendar, and even a durable medical equipment lending program. Our care plans are designed to keep your loved one connected to it, to the Lucy Robbins Welles Library, and for a client who loves the tradition, to an outing at Mill Pond Falls when the weather cooperates. The center's own transportation is a residents-only, daytime service; Corporate Wheelchair Transportation covers the evenings, weekends, and standing medical appointments that fall outside it.
When a Newington senior is coming home from Hartford Hospital, from short-term rehabilitation at Jefferson House (the Hartford Hospital-affiliated facility on John Stewart Drive) or Newington Rapid Recovery Rehab Center, we can have support ready the day they arrive: a caregiver matched and approved, the care plan written, and the first shift scheduled around the discharge. The weeks right after rehab are when falls and readmissions happen; call us before the discharge date and the gap gets covered.
With the VA's Newington campus in town, many local families have a veteran at the center of their care decision. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA programs that help pay for care at home, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, and some veterans receive home care services coordinated through the VA itself. We are happy to help you understand what may apply to your family and where to ask, and our wheelchair-accessible transportation can get your veteran to appointments at the Newington campus. If your family served, tell us when you call. It matters to us.

| 12-hour shifts (personal care) | From $26/hour ($312 per shift) |
