Greenwich is really a handful of villages: Cos Cob on its working harbor, Riverside and Old Greenwich along the shoreline, and the busy blocks around Greenwich Avenue, all about 50 minutes from Manhattan. Waterfront estates sit a short drive from small village cottages, and many seniors have lived in the same neighborhood for decades. Polish Care Services is a registered homemaker companion agency supporting seniors and their families across Greenwich and Fairfield County with companion care and senior home care assistance shaped around each person’s routine. We serve families throughout Greenwich, including Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich, Byram, Glenville, Pemberwick, and the neighborhoods around Greenwich Avenue.
Many people comparing options here want to know, “Can one agency cover all of Greenwich’s villages, from Byram to Old Greenwich?” Yes, our non-medical home care services are available across the town’s neighborhoods, and we build each plan around the home your loved one lives in. Whether the need is homemaking services, household assistance, or senior help at home a few days a week, we aim to make daily life easier for your parent and for you through our caregiving services.
CONTACT USSome families need a few hours of help on weekday afternoons. Others need someone through the night, or a caregiver present all day and night. Here are the four ways we arrange care in Greenwich.
Our hourly caregiver services are flexible visits for seniors who want help with their routines while staying independent. Caregivers can help with bathing, grooming, meal preparation, errands, and light housekeeping for seniors, along with companion care services throughout each visit.
Our overnight care services cover 8 to 12 hours of dedicated nighttime care. A caregiver helps with the evening routine and stays on hand through the night, so families can rest easier.
With our live-in caregiver services, a dedicated caregiver stays in your loved one’s home and provides steady companionship and support. By law, a live-in caregiver needs designated rest periods, so this option is different from 24-hour coverage.
Our 24 hr caregiver service is hourly care that runs around the clock. Caregivers take turns in shifts, so someone is awake and actively present at every hour of the day and night.
If you aren’t sure which description matches your parent’s days, tell us what a typical day looks like, and we’ll talk it through together. We also offer in-home companion services and caregiver assisted housekeeping for added help around the house, and caregiver referral services for families who prefer to manage the arrangement themselves. Whatever you choose, our goal is aging in place support built around your loved one’s routine.
Overnight and round-the-clock care may sound similar, but they are arranged differently. With overnight care, one caregiver provides support for a set block of 8 to 12 hours during the evening and night. They can assist with the bedtime routine, remain available overnight, and provide support until morning. Daytime hours remain separate, with family members or other arrangements providing support as needed.
Round-the-clock care provides continuous coverage throughout the day and night. Caregivers rotate through shifts so someone is always available, providing consistent senior companion care and practical assistance at any hour.
Live-in care is different from both. A live-in caregiver stays in the home and provides companionship and assistance throughout the day, but is entitled to legally required rest periods, so this arrangement does not provide continuous 24-hour coverage.
The right option depends on your loved one’s routine and your family’s needs. Whether you need overnight support or more consistent coverage, the goal is to provide dependable senior home care assistance that fits naturally into everyday life.
Each part of Greenwich has its own feel. Cos Cob sits on its harbor along the Mianus River, home to the town’s rowing crews and a former art colony, with small lots and walkable errands. Old Greenwich is the town’s oldest village, with independent shops and Greenwich Point Park (known locally as Tod’s Point), 147 acres of beach and lawn at the tip of its peninsula. Riverside has its own quiet, residential character, and downtown Greenwich centers on the shops and restaurants of Greenwich Avenue. Our non-medical home care adapts to each of these settings. A caregiver in Cos Cob may walk with your parent to the village shops, while one in Old Greenwich might spend a mild afternoon near the shore.
Because Greenwich sits in Fairfield County, close to New York, many families have relatives in the city or further away, and our senior home care assistance is built to keep everyone connected to the care being given. Whether the need is light housekeeping for seniors, household assistance, or companion care that makes a long afternoon feel shorter, we fit around the way your loved one already lives. The goal is aging in place support that lets seniors stay in the village they know.
Yes, we support families throughout Greenwich, including Cos Cob, Riverside, Old Greenwich, Byram, Glenville, and Pemberwick, as well as the area around Greenwich Avenue.
Yes. We build the schedule around the hours when your parent needs support, whether that’s a few weekday afternoons or longer stretches, and we can adjust it when your work schedule changes.
Caregivers can provide companionship, prepare meals, and help with light housekeeping and errands. In Connecticut, they can also help with bathing, grooming, and getting around the home safely.
Yes. Meal preparation, laundry, tidying, and other household tasks can be included alongside companionship, so the home stays comfortable and manageable.
A single caregiver covers a set block of 8 to 12 hours overnight, so a parent who
With your authorization, we share updates on how visits are going so you stay informed even when you can’t be there in person.
We work with long-term care insurance providers such as Brighthouse and MetLife, accept Medicaid and Title 19 for eligible families in Connecticut, and also offer private pay.
That’s how we like to work. Caregivers fit around the routine your parent already has, supporting their day rather than replacing it.
Planning care for a parent works best when it starts with a conversation, not a form. Tell us about your parent’s day, what’s becoming harder, and what you’d like to keep just as it is, and we’ll talk through where support could fit. Whether that turns out to be a few hours of senior help at home each week or something more involved, we’ll go at your pace. When you’re ready, contact us, and we’ll find a time that suits your schedule.
