24-Hour Care in Bethel, 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.
Your sister noticed it over Thanksgiving dinner at your parents’ house on Church Street, the way your dad kept losing his train of thought and your mom looked exhausted from the constant watching. A fall at 2 a.m. last month had changed everything, and now your mom can’t sleep because she’s listening for the next one. You know someone needs to be there around the clock, but you live two hours away and your siblings are stretched thin.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your home overnight and through the day, every single day. We’re talking about someone who knows how to spot a fall before it happens, who can reach your parent safely at 3 a.m., who keeps medication on schedule and can call for help fast if something changes.
You’ll see a caregiver who handles hygiene, meal prep, light housekeeping, and the kind of steady presence that lets your parent stay home and lets you finally sleep. They’re there for bathroom trips, medication reminders, companionship during the long evening hours, and the peace of mind you’ve been needing since that first scare.
Families in Bethel often come to us right after discharge from Danbury Hospital, when doctors have made it clear that your parent isn’t safe alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what hospital discharge really looks like and how to bridge that gap with caregivers who understand medical stability and can spot changes early. You’re not guessing anymore. You’re being watched by someone trained to care.
Our founder is a nurse who’s lived this with her own family. We know what it feels like to get that middle-of-the-night call, to worry about nighttime falls when your parent’s most at risk, and to feel guilty for not being there yourself. That understanding changes how we show up.
We don’t just send whoever’s available. We listen to who your parent is, what time of day they’re most anxious, whether they need someone calm or someone who can joke around. Then we match a caregiver with real experience in 24-Hour Care and time to transition them slowly into your home.
If your parent’s health changes, if the caregiver needs backup, or if you need to talk through what you’re seeing, you reach us directly. We’re not a call center. We’re here to adjust the plan so it actually works for your family.
We know the Danbury Hospital discharge process, we know which doctors and specialists your parent might see, and we’re close enough to respond if you need us. Being local means we’re invested in your community, not just passing through.

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. 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. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver arrives in the morning and stays through the night until the next morning. They help with bathing and dressing, prepare meals, give medications on time, accompany your parent to appointments, handle household tasks like light cleaning, and stay awake and alert through the night so they can respond to bathroom trips, falls, or any change in your parent's condition. It's continuous presence and safety, not just check-ins.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us right away. We coordinate directly with Danbury Hospital's discharge planners so we understand your parent's new medications, restrictions, and what the doctor said about care at home. The faster we get someone in place, the safer that transition is.
24-Hour Care is private pay in most cases, which means you're funding it directly rather than through insurance. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover round-the-clock in-home care. We're honest about the cost because families need to know what they're budgeting for, and we help you explore options like VA benefits or other programs that might apply to your situation.
A home health aide usually visits a few times a week for a couple hours, often ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay. 24-Hour Care means someone is there continuously, overnight and into the day, every single day. It's the difference between a check-in and constant oversight. You need 24-Hour Care when your parent genuinely can't be left alone safely, especially at night.
Absolutely. We ask a lot of questions about who your parent is, how they're most comfortable being helped, what worries them, and what they still want to do independently. Then we find a caregiver whose experience and personality fit. If the first match isn't quite right, we adjust. This takes real time upfront, but it matters.
We have a backup plan in place from day one. You'll know who the backup caregiver is, and we'll confirm coverage so there's no gap. We don't leave families scrambling. If something changes with scheduling or your parent's needs, you call us and we work out solutions together, not over email.
