Morning Star has served families in the Manchester area
Middletown's senior population is projected to grow among residents 75 and older even as the 65-74 group shrinks, meaning demand for higher-touch, more involved care is rising. Housing here ranges from historic colonials near South Green to newer apartments in Westfield, so we adapt care to each home's layout.

Notes From Our Time in Town
Middletown's Dial-A-Ride requires booking at least a day in advance, so we help clients build appointment schedules that work with that lead time rather than around it.
The city's projected growth in residents 75 and older tells us demand for more hands-on care is only increasing — we plan care schedules that can scale up as needs change, not just meet today's needs.
Historic homes near South Green and Wesleyan's campus often have narrow staircases and older layouts — our caregivers plan for these physical realities from the first visit.
