Welcome to Morning Star

Dignified In-Home Care Since 2017.

Founded by an experienced nurse clinician, Morning Star Home Care was created to give Connecticut families a more personal, responsive and compassionate home-care experience. Dee remains actively involved in maintaining the agency’s standards and supporting the families Morning Star serves.

How it works

Getting care started is simple.

Three steps. No pressure. No obligation.

  1. 1

    Call or schedule

    Speak with a local care advisor about your family’s needs, with no pressure or obligation.

  2. 2

    Free in-home consultation

    We meet with your family, learn your loved one’s routines and discuss an appropriate care plan.

  3. 3

    Care begins

    We carefully match your loved one with a trained caregiver and stay in communication as needs change.

Meet Dee — leading with care from day one.

Dee spent more than a decade as a clinician before starting Morning Star. She kept seeing families struggle to find care that treated their parents like people first — so she built the agency she wished they'd had.
