Euro-American Homecare provides non-medical in-home care services for seniors and disabled individuals in Berlin, Connecticut. The company offers live-in caregivers, hourly care, companionship, respite care services, and elder care consulting. Founded by Maggie Drag, the organization has served Connecticut and the local community for over 35 years.
The homecare services available include assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, safe movement within the home, meal preparation, light housekeeping, laundry, and emotional support. Overnight caregivers provide non-medical support during nighttime hours, while live-in caregivers focus on daily living tasks and emotional support, requiring a separate bedroom and 5-8 hours of sleep with 1-2 interruptions per night. The company also provides services to residents at assisted living communities and nursing homes who need additional personalized care.
Euro-American Homecare serves the entire state of Connecticut for live-in care services, with hourly services available in Hartford, Middlesex, and New Haven counties. The company's minimum requirement for non-medical homecare services is typically three hours. All caregivers undergo thorough screening including criminal background checks, elder abuse checks, reference verification, and scrutiny of worker's compensation records to ensure safety and quality.
The caregiver matching process begins with an initial consultation to understand the client's unique needs and preferences. Based on this information, a personalized care plan is created, followed by a careful matching process that considers experience, skills, personality, and compatibility. An introduction meeting allows the client and family to meet the caregiver before placement, and ongoing support and monitoring continues after the caregiver is placed to ensure quality care and make adjustments as needed.
The company offers flexible schedules and multiple payment options including check, credit card, automatic account withdrawals, and long-term insurance policies. For additional services such as handyman work, in-home hair styling, and plumbing assistance, Euro-American Homecare refers clients to Eldercare Links, a trusted resource of vetted professionals.
