Assisted Living Home Care Services Plans Expansion into Massachusetts
CHESHIRE, Conn. — The elderly population in Massachusetts is a significant and growing demographic, according to the 2025 Massachusetts Healthy Aging Data Report, and one Connecticut-based homecare agency is crossing the state border to deliver care to the nearly 1.2 million seniors who live there.
Specifically, Assisted Living Home Care Services announced the company’s planned expansion of its award-winning live-in, personal care, homemaker, and companion services into Central and Western Mass. The family-owned business currently operates office locations in Cheshire, Westport, and Putnam, Conn.
“Connecticut and Massachusetts are home to some of the largest populations of people aged 65 plus, a phenomenon known as the ‘silver tsunami’ as the Baby Boomer generation ages,” said Mario D’Aquila, chief operating officer at Assisted Living Home Care Services. “Our company is uniquely positioned to support them since we offer a unique combination of both traditional elder care services, as well as advanced technology designed to keep seniors independent for as long as possible, while allowing them to age safely within the comforts of their own home.”
Assisted Living Home Care Services cares for elderly individuals and couples in a variety of settings, from private homes to senior living communities, offering either competitive hourly or live-in home care services for each family’s flexibility. The company provides free in-home evaluations that outline specific care solutions for the elderly client with the ultimate goal of helping them age safely and happily.
Senior services offered by the company include assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming; medication reminders; transferring and mobility; meal preparation; incontinence care; light housekeeping; and safety monitoring.
Terri Ducharme, director of Assisted Living Home Care Services’ Putnam location, explained that the company’s entire staff are employees who undergo a thorough state and national criminal background check, a Department of Homeland Security check, and professional and employment references as part of the hiring process. They also receive training in customer service, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, introduction to hospice care, OSHA, safe driving, and many other topics. All workers are insured, bonded, and supervised.
“Whether a person needs a 24-hour live-in aide or remote monitoring with one of our technology devices, we have experience in all levels of non-medical senior care that helps your loved one remain safe and independent at home, while giving peace of mind to the family,” Ducharme said.
Sister company Assisted Living Technologies Inc. became the first of its kind in 2010 dedicated solely to utilizing technology to empower and enhance senior safety. Some of its high-tech systems include fall and wander prevention systems, personal emergency response devices, remote monitoring tools, medication management solutions, and home safety equipment.
Additionally, seniors may select the CarePlus program, which combines cutting-edge technology with trustworthy skilled homecare staff.
Assisted Living Home Care Services works collaboratively with area hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and nursing homes, along with various agencies such as the Alzheimer’s Assoc., VNAs, hospice agencies, and protective services.
