Nurse-founded, personally matched, and built around the rhythm of your parent’s home. Private Duty Aides serves Connecticut families who want a nurse-founded team without the franchise call center, with a caregiver in the home in 24 to 48 hours.
Private Duty Aides was founded by Marcathy, a registered nurse with more than a decade of bedside experience, including 8 years inside one of Connecticut’s leading hospital systems and time on a mixed dementia unit at a skilled nursing facility.
That background changes how we hire, how we train, and how we supervise. Every aide on a case is matched, oriented, and personally followed by our nurse founder.
We’re small on purpose. Most clients work with the same two or three people we’ve personally vetted, on schedules built around their household.
Most home care is dispatched by a scheduler who has never met your parent. We do it differently, and the difference shows up in the first week.
From a few hours a week to round-the-clock support: here’s how Connecticut families most often start working with us.
Discharge day moves fast. New orders, new meds, a changed baseline, and a family trying to absorb all of it at once. This is when we get called.
Why families trust us
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening (a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder) before they are ever placed in a home. We match each caregiver personally and work to keep the same caregiver with your family whenever we can.
Hospital discharge teams and care coordinators work extraordinarily hard under intense time pressure, often arranging services within hours. The challenge isn’t effort or intent. It’s that the speed of modern discharge leaves little room for the kind of deep caregiver vetting that families truly need.
Private Duty Aides was founded to fill that gap: a boutique, nurse-founded agency that does the slow, careful work of vetting, so families have someone they can genuinely trust when they need it most.
Our founder personally trained every caregiver on our team and set the care standards that define our approach, the same standards we’d want for our own family. 160+ towns across all 8 Connecticut counties. Most families have care in place within 24–48 hours of their first call.
No pressure, no obligation. Just clarity on what’s possible for your parent.
