Shelton grew up where the Naugatuck River meets the Housatonic, and it still has two historic centers: a downtown along the water and Huntington Center, around the 1717 Huntington Green. With the Riverwalk, a four-mile lakes trail, and Indian Well State Park all close at hand, it’s a family-oriented city of about 42,000 where many seniors have stayed in the same neighborhood for decades.
Polish Care Services is a registered homemaker companion agency supporting seniors throughout Shelton and Fairfield County with companion care and senior home care assistance shaped around each person’s own routine. Our non-medical home care services range from a few hours of company to round-the-clock coverage, and we build each plan around the home your loved one already knows. We serve families throughout Shelton, including downtown Shelton, Huntington Center, and the neighborhoods near Shelton Lakes and Indian Well State Park. Whether what’s needed is homemaking services, household assistance, or senior help at home on a few weekdays, our aim is simple: a household that runs calmly, and a loved one who feels looked after.
CONTACT USSome Shelton families need an extra pair of hands for a few hours. Others need someone beside a loved one through the night, or around the clock. As a registered homemaker companion agency offering a wide range of caregiving services, we organize our care into four arrangements that cover that range.
Our hourly caregiver services are visits of whatever length suits the day. Caregivers can help with bathing, grooming, meal preparation, and errands, along with light housekeeping for seniors and steady companion care service throughout the visit.
Our overnight care services cover an 8- to 12-hour block through the evening and night. The caregiver helps with the bedtime routine and stays on hand until morning, so families can rest easier too.
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 is not the same as round-the-clock coverage.
Our 24 hr caregiver service is hourly care that never pauses. Caregivers take turns in shifts, so someone is always awake and actively present, day and night.
Many Shelton families add caregiver-assisted housekeeping or in-home companion services to whichever arrangement they choose, and some prefer caregiver referral services so they can manage the arrangement themselves. Once an arrangement is chosen, the next question is usually about cost: “Does long-term care insurance cover home care in Connecticut?” Some plans do, and we work with providers including Brighthouse, MetLife, Unum, Transamerica, and Mutual of Omaha. As a Medicaid caregiver agency, we also accept Medicaid and Title 19 for eligible families.
A good care schedule starts with your family’s week, not ours. Before anything is set, we want to know when mornings are hardest, when you’re stuck at work, and when your loved one simply likes to be left alone. Here’s how that picture turns into a schedule.
We begin with wake-up times, meals, appointments, and the quiet stretches when company would help most, so companion care lands where it’s wanted.
From there, the day shapes the arrangement: a morning visit, an afternoon of errands, an overnight shift, or something longer.
If you’re commuting or juggling the school run, visits are set for the hours you can’t be there, so senior home care assistance covers the gaps instead of overlapping with you.
Needs shift, and so can the schedule. If your loved one needs more help or less, we adjust the days and hours with you.
Once the schedule is set, we confirm the days, times, and tasks, so nobody is guessing about what happens when.
A schedule like this isn’t something to settle once and forget. It’s a working plan, and part of aging in place support is keeping it in step with how your loved one is really doing. If you’re not sure where to begin, describe an ordinary week, and we’ll sketch the first version together.
Few places in Fairfield County fit a riverfront downtown, a colonial green, and a chain of lakes into one city the way Shelton does. Residents walk the Riverwalk along the Housatonic, sit on the benches around Huntington Green, and follow the Shelton Lakes path past Hope Lake, Silent Waters, and Pine Lake. For many seniors, those routines are the reason they’ve never wanted to leave.
Our non-medical home care is built to protect them. A caregiver can walk beside your parent along the water, make the short trip to the green, or simply keep an afternoon company at home, so the places that matter stay within reach. Seniors here often ask, “Can home care help a senior get out of the house?” Yes, caregivers can go along on errands, appointments, and walks, so getting out doesn’t depend on a family member’s free time. Whether it’s light housekeeping for seniors, household assistance, or senior companion care for a long afternoon, we fit around the life your loved one already has. The goal is aging in place support that keeps them part of the city they know.
Most of what makes a visit comfortable is small: knowing which mug is theirs, how they like the morning paper, when to talk and when to leave them in peace. A caregiver who returns each time learns those details, and a parent who has been through changes in health or routine often relaxes once they know who is walking in the door. That ease is what turns senior companion care from a service into a relationship.
That’s why we aim to keep the same caregiver with your loved one wherever we can, so the person providing senior help at home in week six already knows what worked in week one. For family members, it means one familiar voice to talk to about how things are going, and fewer explanations to repeat. We plan for consistency from the start, because trust builds visit by visit.

Start with a free consultation. We’ll learn about your loved one’s needs and develop a care plan tailored to your family.
You don’t have to arrive with a finished plan. Bring what you know about your loved one’s days, what’s getting harder, and what you want to stay exactly as it is, and we’ll help shape it into something that fits. Whether that turns out to be a few hours of senior help at home or something much more involved, we’ll move at your pace. Contact us today to discuss your family’s needs and explore the right support for your loved one.
