Elder Care Agency Norwich, CT

There comes a time when the reality of getting older sets in. Joints ache, you walk a little slower, your bones crack a little more often. You can get down but have a hard time getting back up. It’s not easy. A sense of humor helps. Having a circle of friends helps. But it may be time for you to get your loved ones some assistance. Because growing older brings challenges that are unique to an aging population and their families. That’s where we come in.

At Companions & Homemakers, our goal is to provide your aging family members with the 24-hour resources you need to support you as a family caretaker, and your loved ones so they can safely stay in their own homes. We believe that “Home is Possible.” And that makes all the difference in the world. Staying in their own home offers a sense of security and well-being, a chance to retain their daily habits and routines in comfort and familiarity. In short, we provide them with the care they need to live a happy and healthy life for the rest of their days. That’s something that just can’t be wholly realized within senior living facilities.

Thank you for the fine service from C&H and for your attention to our needs. Throughout these past years, you have taken a burden from me that I could never have managed myself. And you always responded quickly, professionally and with compassion. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

– Bob M., Waterford CT

Norwich Caregivers for You or Your Loved Ones

Our staff has a passion for helping family caregivers get a much-needed break from the sometimes rigorous physical, mental and emotional responsibilities of worrying and caring for their loved ones. Whether the family caregiver is right next door here in Norwich, out of state, or even across the country, we provide constant communication to update and inform our clients so that they are fully aware of any changes or issues their loved ones might be experiencing

Why Our Caregivers Are the Right Choice, Every Time

We are a privately owned, non-franchise company that has been caring for the elderly in their homes across Connecticut since 1990. Unlike most care agencies, our caregivers are actual employees, not independent contractors. Many have been with us for years because we offer schedule flexibility and benefits including health insurance and a 401(k) plan with a company match for qualified employees. That means we are very particular in who we hire. Our hiring process includes a comprehensive background check and a thorough vetting process with the goal of creating lasting relationships between our clients and caregivers. It’s not only about providing a caregiver who is trustworthy and dependable, it’s also about understanding the individual, so a personalized relationship can develop if desired.


The two women who come to my home are very trustworthy and work as a great team together. All I have to do is ask them to do anything and without hesitation, it’s done. They are great and I’m very happy.

– John P., Uncasville, CT

Our “essential services” are focused on keeping the elderly out of nursing homes and assisted living facilities by offering what we call our “Continuum of Care”…the right amount of assistance for each person’s unique situation that is designed to evolve as the person’s needs change over time. From hourly personal care to round-the-clock live-in care, we excel at providing a supportive presence that can include bed-bound care, incontinence care, sponge bathing, feeding, medication monitoring, and so much more.

We have field coordinators that can train our caregivers to use Hoyer Lifts, Sera Lifts and Gait Belts to help semi-mobile or non-mobile clients move out of bed and into other areas within their homes. Our caregivers can help families recognize when it might be a good time to discuss moving to the “next step” in the client’s Continuum of Care and daily care routines.

The ability to “age in place” offers your loved ones the opportunity to stay put, to sleep in their own beds, to have a cup of coffee in their own kitchens, and to sit in their own easy chair. It tends to enhance the quality of life, which improves physical and mental health. It also insulates them from any viral risks sometimes found in crowded senior living facilities, reducing their chance of contracting any serious illness. In addition, compared to the costs of nursing homes and assisted living facilities, home care offers cost-saving opportunities and the benefits of one-on-one care and attention as compared to the one-to-many model of facility-based caregiving

In Our Caregivers’ Own Words:  My client and I have an annual tradition when it gets warm – we visit her favorite restaurant, Stowe’s Seafood in West Haven. We love the fried clams and French fries, and when we’re done, we walk on the boardwalk and take in the beautiful view of the ocean.  We talk, we get a little exercise, and we get to be in the beautiful outdoors… what could be better?  

-Theresa K., Guilford CT

Norwich Live-In Home Care Agency

Our most all-inclusive service, live-in home care provides true peace of mind around the clock for those who need continued support.

Many seniors who remain home amid familiar surroundings and routines can maintain a higher quality of life as compared to living in a facility. Our live-in caregivers, many of whom have been with C&H and have cared for individuals on a long-term basis for decades, can provide a comforting, constant, and recognizable presence in the home. They can assist clients as needed with everything from the routine activities of daily living to more focused levels of personal care and beyond…up to and including end-of-life care if needed.

We have long believed that “Home is Possible”, and for clients who need more of a consistent presence…a familiar face, and supportive care…our live-in services can make home possible, and more affordable than institutional care for most seniors.

Our comprehensive live-in home care program offers:

  •  Around-the-clock presence in the home with a consistent, familiar face
  •  Complete “essential services” without which our clients could not remain in their homes
  •  Personal care (bathing, dressing, incontinence care, feeding, etc.)
  •  Assistance with daily household tasks (meal prep, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.)
  •  Medication reminders
  •  Transportation to and from appointments and activities*
  •  Help with making telephone calls, writing letters or emails
  •  Companionship and conversation
