Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting across from your mom at the table by the window on Hope Street. Your mom’s hands were shaking more than usual, and she’d gotten up three times that night asking if someone was there. You realized then that you can’t keep trading off nights anymore, and you need someone there, actually there, when you’re not.

24-Hour Care means we place a caregiver in your home overnight and through the day, so your parent is never alone. We’re talking about someone who’s awake and present for the 3 a.m. bathroom trip, the medication at dinner, the sudden confusion at 2 p.m., and the fall risk that keeps you up at night.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication reminders, mobility support, and watching for signs that something’s changed. They’re there if your parent falls at night, if they wander, if they forget they already ate lunch, or if they just need someone to sit with them because they’re scared.
In Branford, many families come to us after a discharge from Yale New Haven Hospital, when the home health nurse visits once a week but you need eyes on your parent every hour. We were founded by a nurse who understood that safety doesn’t happen on a schedule, and 24-Hour Care is built on that understanding.
A nurse founded this agency because she saw families terrified of what happens after dark. We know the difference between a caregiver who’s awake and one who’s just in the house. Nighttime falls, wandering, confusion, and falls that happen before anyone notices, they’re what we prevent.
We don’t just send someone over. We learn your parent’s habits, their fears, what makes them feel safe. Our caregivers are trained and experienced in around-the-clock care, and we stay involved because your situation will change.
If your parent’s behavior changes, if a new medication makes them drowsy, if they refuse to eat, you call us and we respond. We’re not a service you set and forget. We adjust.
We work with Yale New Haven Hospital’s discharge team regularly and we understand Branford, East Haven, Guilford, and North Haven. We know the doctors, the local pharmacies, and how to move quickly when your parent needs something.

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
Your caregiver is present from bedtime through morning, helping with nighttime bathroom needs, medications, and staying alert for falls or confusion. During the day, they help with personal care, meals, laundry, light housekeeping, and mobility. They watch for changes in appetite, mood, or behavior and report back to you. They're also a second set of hands if your parent needs to go to a doctor's appointment or the pharmacy.
We typically start within 48 hours, sometimes sooner if the discharge is planned and we know it's coming. We work with Yale New Haven's care coordinators to get the medical history and any post-hospital instructions before your caregiver arrives. The faster you call, the faster we can begin the matching process and get someone in your home.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you pay directly rather than through Medicare or insurance. The cost reflects that someone is there overnight and throughout the day, every day. We can discuss rates and payment options when you call, and we can also talk about whether any of your specific situation might qualify for other resources.
A home health aide typically visits a few hours a week and is ordered by a doctor for specific medical needs. 24-Hour Care is round-the-clock presence in your home because your parent can't be left alone. It's the difference between someone stopping by versus someone actually living in and being awake with your parent through the night.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, habits, medical history, and what makes them feel safe. Then we match them with a caregiver who fits, and we stay involved as things change. If it's not working after a week or two, we listen and we adjust.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready, and we'll call you as soon as we know about an absence so you're not surprised. We try to use the same person so your parent gets comfortable, but we also plan ahead for sickness, vacation, or emergency. You won't be left hanging.
