Your sister called after the holiday dinner, voice shaky. She’d found your mom on the kitchen floor near the stove on Park Avenue, and your mom didn’t remember falling. You realized then that the nights are when you’re most afraid. That’s when we step in, so you can finally sleep knowing someone trained and alert is there.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver lives in your home or is present continuously, awake and available from bedtime through morning and all day long. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s someone who knows how to spot trouble, respond to falls, manage medications on schedule, and call for help when needed. You get the safety net you can’t provide yourself.
Day to day, families see their parent getting help with meals, bathing, dressing, and toileting. The caregiver prepares medications, watches for confusion or pain, helps with mobility, and keeps the house running. At night, they’re awake, listening. They catch the bathroom trip before a fall happens, they notice the irregular breathing, they’re there if your parent wakes confused at 3 a.m.
After a hospital stay at Bridgeport Hospital or a scare at home, many Fairfield County families reach out to us because they can’t be there 24 hours themselves. We were founded by a nurse who lived through this exact situation, so we understand that around-the-clock safety isn’t luxury, it’s necessity. We know Bridgeport Hospital’s discharge process, we know your neighborhoods, and we move fast.
Our founder is a nurse who faced the same sleepless nights you’re facing now. She knows what a nighttime fall looks like, what you miss when you’re not there, and why checking in by phone isn’t enough. That experience drives how we choose and train every caregiver.
Before we place anyone, we talk with you about your parent’s personality, habits, medical history, and what scares you most. We listen for fit, not just availability. A good 24-Hour Care match means your parent feels safe and your family can exhale.
Your parent’s needs change. A caregiver gets sick. Your schedule opens up or tightens again. We stay reachable and adjustable, whether you need to scale back, swap someone in, or add an extra set of eyes for a few weeks.
We know the East Side and Black Rock, we work with Bridgeport Hospital staff, and our caregivers live in your community. That means no strangers from two hours away, faster responses, and people who understand your neighborhood’s rhythms.

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 handles personal care, bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming. They prepare meals, manage medications, do light housekeeping, and drive to appointments. They stay alert to changes in mood, appetite, mobility, or pain. At night they're awake, available for bathroom trips, checking on your parent every few hours, and ready to call 911 if something feels wrong. It's constant, quiet presence.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on the caregiver match. We work directly with Bridgeport Hospital discharge planners and keep a list of caregivers ready to begin. If your parent is coming home with specific needs, let us know early so we can prepare and brief the caregiver before day one.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover it because it's custodial care, not medical care. We're honest about cost upfront and work with families on weekly or monthly arrangements. Some families cover part through long-term care insurance, but you'll want to check your specific policy.
A home health aide comes a few hours a day, usually for specific medical tasks ordered by a doctor. 24-Hour Care is someone in your home around the clock, present for all personal care, safety, and daily living. It's the difference between visits and continuous presence. 24-Hour Care is what you need when your parent can't be left alone.
Yes. We spend time understanding your parent's personality, medical history, living situation, and what matters most to your family. We match on fit, experience, and values, not just availability. Some families need someone calm and patient for dementia, others need someone strong for mobility help. We listen first, then match.
We have backup caregivers on call, especially for 24-Hour Care situations where you can't leave your parent alone. We let you know immediately if there's a change, and we work to fill it the same day or have a trained replacement ready. You're not left scrambling. We stay communicative and flexible.
