Havenwood Care provides in-home care for Simsbury 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 Farmington, a short drive down the Valley, and we exist for the Simsbury families whose answer to the retirement community question is "we would rather stay home."
Call us and you will get straight answers and exact pricing in one conversation, and care can typically start within days of your in-home assessment, anywhere from Simsbury Center to Weatogue to Tariffville.
Or call us. We will explain your options and exact pricing in one conversation.
Every service we offer is available throughout Simsbury, 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, with a caregiver accompanying when needed.
About one in six Simsbury residents is 65 or older, and the town's largest age group is now in its late fifties, which means that share is growing every year. Our service area covers all of Simsbury, from the Center and the streets off Hopmeadow to Weatogue, Tariffville, and West Simsbury.
Simsbury seniors have one of the region's more charming senior centers: it lives inside Eno Memorial Hall, the landmark 1932 building with the clock tower on Hopmeadow Street, with Tai Chi and line dancing, Lunch at Eno on Wednesdays, Monday Suppers, footcare clinics, and blood pressure screenings on the calendar. Our care plans are built to keep your loved one plugged into all of it, and into the town itself: the Farmington Valley Greenway, the Flower Bridge in season, and the shops along Hopmeadow. The town's Dial-A-Ride covers weekday daytime trips with advance booking; Corporate Wheelchair Transportation covers the evenings, weekends, short-notice needs, and standing weekly appointments that fall outside it, with a caregiver riding along when needed.
Simsbury is also home to McLean, one of Connecticut's best-known senior living campuses, and many local families feel the pull of "the McLean conversation" as a parent ages. Some families choose a community, and for them it is the right call. We exist for the other families: the ones whose parent wants to stay in their own house, on their own street. From a few homemaker visits a week to live-in care at $359 per day, home care is how Simsbury seniors stay home, often at a cost below a full campus contract, with one-on-one attention no community can staff.
When a Simsbury senior is coming home from Hartford Hospital, Saint Francis, or UConn John Dempsey, or from short-term rehabilitation at Governor's House Rehabilitation and Nursing Center here in town, 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 a hospital or rehab stay are when falls and readmissions happen; call us before the discharge date and the gap gets covered.
Our rates are the same across Hartford County, and unlike most agencies, we publish them:
| Care | Starting Rate |
|---|---|
| Companion-level care (4+ hour visits) | From $34/hour |
| Personal care (4+ hour shifts) | From $39/hour |
| 12-hour shifts (personal care) | From $26/hour ($312 per shift) |
| Live-in care | From $359/day |
Rates are starting points, confirmed in your first phone call, before any home visit. A 10-hour weekly minimum applies to hourly care. Long-term care insurance is welcome; we help you verify benefits and provide the documentation your insurer requires.
Written care plans, careful caregiver matching, and a path that grows from a few visits a week to live-in coverage, all in your parent's own house.
Based in Farmington, a short drive down the Valley. Not a franchise routing you through a national call center.
