Non-Medical Home Care in Waterbury, CT
Trusted companion, personal care, and homemaker services for Waterbury seniors and their families — from a locally owned, CT-registered agency right here in the community.
Waterbury's Trusted Non-Medical Home Care Agency
Highland Caregivers is based at 276 Highland Ave, Waterbury, CT — not a branch of a national franchise, not a call center in another state. We live and work in this community, and the families we serve are our neighbors.
Waterbury has one of the largest senior populations in Connecticut. For many of those older adults, the goal is simple: stay at home. In the familiar neighborhood they’ve known for decades, close to the people and places that matter to them. Not a facility. Not a disrupted routine. Home.
That’s what we’re here to support. Highland Caregivers provides non-medical home care that makes staying home not just possible, but comfortable and safe — companion care for the seniors who need connection, personal care for those who need physical assistance, dementia support for families navigating memory loss, and homemaker services that keep the household running. All non-medical. All built around the individual.
As a Connecticut-registered Homemaker-Companion Agency (HCA #2270), we meet the state’s licensing standards for this type of care. Every caregiver we place is background-checked, matched to the client’s personality and needs, and held to a standard that reflects what we’d want for our own families.
If your loved one is in Waterbury — in the North End, East Side, West Side, Bunker Hill, or anywhere across the city — we can help. Reach out for a free, no-pressure consultation and we’ll figure out the right level of support together.

If your situation is urgent, call us directly at (203) 819-7494 and we'll do everything we can to move faster.

Is Highland Caregivers a franchise or locally owned?
Locally owned and operated. Highland Caregivers is based at 276 Highland Ave in Waterbury — not a branch of a national franchise. The people you speak with and the caregivers we place are part of this community. That matters to us and to the families we serve.
What's the difference between a home care agency and a private caregiver?
Hiring a private caregiver means you're responsible for vetting, hiring, paying, and managing that individual — including handling taxes, liability, and coverage when they're unavailable. Working with a licensed agency like Highland Caregivers means that's all handled for you. Our caregivers are screened, background-checked, insured through our agency, and backed by a team that can provide coverage if your regular caregiver isn't available.
