Known as the Christmas Tree Capital of Connecticut, the Fairfield County town of Easton is an oasis of natural beauty. With over one-third of its land preserved, the town offers seniors a unique sense of rural charm and access to a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. Part of the Greater Bridgeport Area, the town offers an escape from the busyness of the region’s larger communities, while still providing easy access to amenities such as hospitals and shopping centers. The nearly 18% of Easton residents who are aged 65 and older can take advantage of the town’s many attractions and activities, including more than 20 working farms, numerous historical sites and a highly regarded senior center.
On top of its high daily living costs, seniors in Easton are likely to pay more for home care services than they would in other Connecticut communities. In the Easton area, seniors can expect to pay an hourly rate of $23 for in-home care and $25 per hour for home health care services. According to Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care Survey, these rates are higher than the Connecticut statewide averages of $22 and $24 per hour in the same categories, respectively. This means that seniors in Easton are paying an average of $200 more for home care services on a monthly basis.
Note: Home care cost data wasn’t available for Easton, so data for the closest city, Bridgeport, was used.
At Caring.com, we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Easton area – complete with types of care provided, services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled a list of resources to help seniors and their families access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

My wife Nancy is deceased but we used Acuity Homecare for her for six weeks. They were great, the people that run it were excellent, and the girls that came here were absolutely wonderful. They’re professional, enjoyable, very nice, and they know what they’re doing. They even gave us a Christmas card at Christmas time, too. I don’t say anything bad about them. To other families who may want to consider them, I would tell them to not have any reservations about having them, and to consider them very much. I had worked in nursing homes, and I had seen the kind of care you get there, and this is far and above any nursing home care.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Neil A., his organization, and his entire staff are. When my mother was in in-home Hospice care, Neil provided such kind and skilled caregivers to help with my mother’s needs. She loved every one of them!

And Neil was always quick to help out whenever I called him in a "pinch" when certain caregivers outside of his organization could not show – he always helped me out, even if it was a last minute request.

Constellation Private Duty has offered private duty stuff for my mom. My problem is that every time I hire one caregiver, they tell me that they can do the hoyer lift and make the meals. But then they send people who are not comfortable using the hoyer lift and don’t really do even the light duty house cleaning. They just kind of sit there and look at my mom all day, and they don’t get her up out of bed, and she had a bed sore. They just sit in the room and don’t interact with my mom so that doesn’t help me at all. We’ve had them for several months. The caregivers were fine, I just don’t think they’re being truthful at the agency when they’re hired, regarding things like knowing how to use the hoyer lift. It’s just the level of skills differ from person to person.

Easton Home Care Resources
Home care services are only one of the pieces needed for seniors to gracefully age in place. There are many services and programs that are low-cost or free, that enable seniors to enjoy an independent lifestyle in the comfort of their own home, such as help with home modifications, meal delivery services, and more. Below, we’ve compiled a few of the most helpful resources in Easton:
Address: 238 Jewett Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06606
Phone: (203) 416-1503
Sponsored by Catholic Charities of Fairfield County, Inc., the Senior Nutrition Program provides nutritious meals to low-income seniors aged 60 and older across Fairfield County. The Meals On Wheels program offers home-delivered meals to seniors. Volunteers deliver meals Monday through Friday, with weekend meals available to some areas, and perform a safety check. The program also offers congregate meals through its Community Cafe Program at eight meal sites throughout lower Fairfield County.
Address: Town of Easton Assessor’s Office, 225 Center Road, Easton, CT 06612
Phone: (203) 268-6291
Qualifying seniors are eligible for tax relief through two programs: the Tax Abatement program and the optional Tax Referral program. The Tax Abatement program offers a credit against a senior’s property taxes and is calculated on a sliding scale based on income. The Tax Deferral program allows seniors to defer up to 75% of their remaining tax after other benefits have been applied.
Address: 1070 Park Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604
Phone: (203) 366-8241 ext. 3239
The ABCD Energy Program offers low-income seniors assistance with paying for their home heating costs. Some of the services available include furnace repair or replacement, tune-up services and matching payment plan. Seniors may also be eligible for assistance with weatherization to help improve their home’s energy efficiency. This program is offered by Action for Bridgeport Community Development, Inc. (ABCD) as part of the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP).
Address: 88 Hamilton Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902
Phone: (203) 658-9681
HomeFront is a community-based, volunteer-driven program that provides free home repairs to low-income homeowners, including seniors, who make up 50% of the program’s participants. The program is intended to offer seniors a sense of stability, allowing them to remain safely living in their own homes. Some of the services provided include carpentry projects, plumbing, electrical work, roofing, yard work, window and door replacement, and the installation of accessibility items.
Determining Your Loved One’s Need for In-Home Care
Aging can be a difficult process, and loved ones may not always ask for help – often times it’s up to their family to evaluate their need for help around the house. While no two situations are exactly alike, this checklist can help you and your loved ones determine when it’s time to start the search for a home care provider.
Guidelines for Talking About In-Home Care
If you’ve determined that your loved one needs the assistance of a care provider in their home, it may be time for a difficult conversation. Handled correctly, however, this process can bring a family together and ensure that everyone’s concerns are addressed. Use this PDF as a starting point to help the conversation stay as positive and productive as possible.
