24-Hour Care in Bethany, CT
Around-the-clock non-medical care at home, two caregiver shifts covering full day and night.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
You got the call from your sister after Thanksgiving dinner, the one where she mentioned Dad seemed unsteady on the stairs at the house on Spring Street. Two weeks later, he fell at 3 a.m. and didn’t tell anyone until morning. You realized then that the occasional check-in wasn’t enough anymore, and neither was hoping nothing would happen while he slept. That’s when 24-Hour Care made sense.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present. We’re talking about someone there at 2 a.m. if your parent gets up confused, someone who can steady them on the way to the bathroom, someone who knows what to do if they fall. It’s not just company, it’s active safety and support when your parent is most vulnerable.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and monitoring for changes in your parent’s health or behavior. You’ll see someone who notices when your parent isn’t eating well, who catches a fever early, who knows the rhythm of their day and can spot when something’s off. Night shifts often mean staying nearby while your parent sleeps, ready to respond immediately if they need help.
If your parent is recovering after discharge from Yale New Haven Hospital or managing a condition that makes nighttime risky, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between what they can do alone and what they actually need. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical situations and safety concerns from the inside, not just from training manuals. That background shapes how we assess your parent’s real needs and match them with someone who can actually handle them.
Our founder is a nurse, and she’s seen what happens when a parent falls alone in the dark and can’t reach the phone. We don’t minimize nighttime risk or pretend it’s rare. 24-Hour Care means having someone present and alert specifically for the hours when falls happen most.
We listen to your family’s situation first. Are you worried about personality fit, language preferences, experience with a specific condition? We brief our caregivers thoroughly and match based on what actually matters to your parent and you. A good fit changes everything.
If your parent’s needs shift or you have a concern at 10 p.m. on a Sunday, you call us. We’re reachable and we respond. 24-Hour Care is only as good as the people behind it.
We’re local, we understand the discharge process from Yale New Haven Hospital, and we know the hospitals, doctors, and resources in Bethany and surrounding towns. That local knowledge matters when you need coordination or quick communication.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.
Why families trust us
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene. They prepare meals and encourage eating, remind your parent about medications, help with mobility and bathroom needs, and keep watch during sleep hours. They also do light housekeeping related to your parent's care, handle laundry, and monitor for any changes in health or behavior. Everything is logged so you and any doctors have a clear picture of your parent's day.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of contact, depending on caregiver availability and your parent's specific needs. We work with your discharge coordinator at Yale New Haven to get the information we need, and we brief your caregiver on any medical instructions or precautions before they arrive. If you're still in the hospital, we start the conversation then so there's no gap when your parent gets home.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover continuous non-medical caregiving, even though it's often the most important safety measure a family can put in place. We're honest about the cost because we believe you deserve to know what you're paying for. Some families fund it through savings, long-term care insurance, or a combination of resources.
Home health aides provide personal care for a few hours a week, usually ordered by a doctor for post-recovery support. 24-Hour Care means around-the-clock presence. The difference is nighttime safety, continuity, and someone who knows your parent's patterns and can catch small changes before they become big problems. 24-Hour Care is for families who can't leave their parent alone.
Yes. We listen to what matters, whether that's experience with dementia, language, temperament, or specific medical knowledge. We don't assign the first available person and hope for the best. We brief your caregiver on your parent's habits, preferences, and needs before they meet. A good match takes thought.
We have backup coverage. If your primary caregiver is sick or has a family emergency, we arrange a replacement so there's no gap in care. Your parent's routine doesn't stop, and you don't have to scramble. We keep a network of trained caregivers specifically so we can keep our promises.
