Welcome to Morning Star
Dignified In-Home Care Since 2017.
Morning Star Home Care was founded by a caregiver with more than a decade of clinical experience, built on one idea: aging parents deserve to be treated like people, not case numbers. We provide companion care, personal care, and in-home health support to families across Bristol, Connecticut and the surrounding towns.
We build every care plan around the person — not a template. That can mean 24-hour live-in care, medication reminders, help with bathing and dressing, or simply someone kind to share the afternoon with. Whatever the need, our caregivers are trained, background-checked, and supervised to the same standard: compassion first.

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.
