We're Keisha and Lionel, and we founded Safe Harbor Home Aides to provide the kind of personal, compassionate care we'd want for our own loved ones.
Safe Harbor Home Aides was born from a simple but powerful belief: every family deserves access to compassionate, personal care when their loved ones need it most.
When we started this journey, Keisha and I saw too many families struggling with impersonal, corporate care agencies that treated clients like numbers instead of people. We witnessed the frustration of trying to reach someone—anyone—when urgent questions arose, only to be met with voicemail or answering services.
We knew there had to be a better way. A way where families could reach the owners directly, day or night. A way where caregivers build genuine relationships with the people they serve. A way where care plans are truly personalized, not pulled from a template.
That's why we founded Safe Harbor—to be the caring, hands-on alternative to cold corporate care. We're small by design, because we believe that's how you provide exceptional service.
Everything we do is guided by a commitment to respect, dignity, and genuine human connection.
To serve Connecticut families with the highest standard of non-medical home care—providing personalized support that honors each client's independence, preferences, and dignity. We're committed to being accessible 24/7, building lasting relationships, and delivering care with the same respect and compassion we'd want for our own family members.

Don't just take our word for it—hear from the families who trust us with their loved ones' care.
"Safe Harbor Home Aides Inc., are well trained, caring, attentive and empathetic. Comfortable with end of life care, helping not only the client but family members as well. They are always concerned with maintaining the clients dignity and truly work with the family as a team. Our family is so grateful to have had Keisha Grant and all the Safe Harbor Home Aides with us on this difficult journey. Don't know what we would have done without them."
"Keisha took the time to truly get to know our family and my dad, making sure she understood what we were looking for and what my dad was like so she could find the right caregiver match. As my dad's condition progressed, she was incredibly flexible in providing care coverage and adapting to his changing needs."
"We are very happy with the care our mother receives from Safe Harbor home aide service. The continuity of care has been wonderful, and it brings us peace of mind knowing she is supported by such attentive caregivers. We are especially grateful for the personal attention from the company's owner, Keisha, who goes above and beyond to ensure our mother's needs are met. One moment that truly stood out was when Keisha arranged overnight coverage during a severe snowstorm so that our mother would not be without help. That level of dedication meant a lot to us. Keisha and her team provide reassurance to both our mother and our family, for which we are truly grateful."
"Safe Harbor gave us a feeling of safety, value, and confidence. They were always timely and mannerly. Could not have asked for anything more. We love them."
"Keisha and her staff demonstrated invaluable expertise in end of life care. She was honest with us about what to expect and offered thoughtful, practical recommendations—both for day-to-day care and for what to request from my dad's medical providers when developing his plan of care. She consistently asked for honest feedback about her staff and the care being provided, ensuring that my dad's needs—and my mom's—were always being met. Beyond the excellent in-home personal care, Keisha and her team provided deep spiritual and emotional support to my mom and our entire family throughout my dad's journey. Even now, she continues to check in with us. Her compassion, professionalism, and genuine care made an incredibly difficult time more manageable, and we are profoundly grateful."
