About Nurses at Home

Nurses at Home is a home health and hospice provider serving Avon, Connecticut. The organization delivers care in patients' homes rather than in a facility setting, supporting recovery and end-of-life needs.

Families consistently praise the clinical team's compassion and professionalism. Multiple reviewers highlight how nurses and therapists "took their time" with patients and created a supportive atmosphere. Staff members are described as kind and understanding, and the organization maintains what families perceive as a family-centered culture where administrators and care providers work collaboratively to ensure patients feel cared for.

One limitation emerged in a lower-rated review: a patient reportedly did not receive timely assignment to physical therapy after hospital discharge, and the family felt their choice of provider was constrained by their nursing facility's referral process. This suggests coordination and patient placement processes warrant attention alongside the consistently praised direct care.

Nurses at Home holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating based on 24 Google reviews, with the majority expressing strong satisfaction with clinical quality and the supportive care environment.

Dominica and Kathleen, thank you. Both of you were excellent. However, there are some aspects of this company that my mother and I did not find professional. We did not freely select this agency; choice for home care was taken away from us, by her nursing facility….however, I digress. My mother was in urgent need of continued physical therapy upon her prior release, but she was not even assigned a PT until three days *after* being home. The man who did eventually come, made comments about personal items in our home—which made us uncomfortable. Worse, prior mutually agreed upon appointment times were not kept and moved up two hours in advance without our consent….A patient who is still in a lot of pain and a stressful state relies upon a schedule, which should not be abruptly changed at the last minute….When I realized that this whole experience was not agreeable to my mother, I needed to cancel the remainder of the visits. It was clear that they were not happy about this, and profanity was used during the conversation. Overall, not a professional experience and not recommended.

I began my journey with Nurses at Home as a per diem RN case manager, and my experience was so positive that I was inspired to grow within the organization into my current role as Clinical Supervisor. From the start, what stood out most was the culture. The team is incredibly cohesive and communicative, creating an environment where collaboration feels natural and support is always available. There is a genuine sense that everyone is working toward the same goal—providing excellent care while supporting one another. One of the most unique and valuable aspects of this organization is the direct access to the owners. Their involvement fosters a truly family-oriented atmosphere where employees feel seen, heard, and appreciated. It’s clear that staff are valued not just for their work, but as individuals. Overall, Nurses at Home is an organization that prioritizes both quality patient care and a positive, supportive work environment. I’m grateful to be part of such a dedicated and compassionate team.

The team over at Nurses at Home have been so compassionate, understanding, and professional throughout my experience with working with them. The administrators make sure to bring a friendly face to the care they provide and the family feel of the company lets you know that your loved one is in good hands. I would certainly continue to recommend this team to everyone that is looking for outstanding homecare services.

Nurses at home gave my father such a lovely recovery experience at home after his fall and short hospital stay. The nurses and therapist were so kind and really took their time with my dad. We will definitely be using nurses at home next time around… heaven forbid
