Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting at your kitchen table on Riverside Road.

24-Hour Care means someone is there with your parent around the clock, every single day. One caregiver comes during the day shift, another arrives in the evening and stays through the night. They’re present for all the hours when falls happen most, when confusion peaks, when your parent might need help getting out of bed at 3 a.m.
On a typical day, you’ll see your parent bathed and dressed in the morning, meals prepared and eaten at regular times, medication given on schedule, and someone there to steady them walking to the bathroom or moving around the house. At night, the overnight caregiver sits nearby, checks on your parent regularly, and is awake and alert if anything happens. It’s the kind of presence that lets you sleep knowing your parent is genuinely safe.
Many Canton families come to us right after discharge from Hartford Hospital, when doctors say your parent needs supervision but home is where they want to recover. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what real safety looks like at 2 a.m., not just on paper. We know the discharge process at Hartford Hospital, and we’ve worked with their care coordinators long enough to move fast when families need us.
Our founder was a nurse who saw too many families get a call they’ll never forget. 24-Hour Care isn’t just about having someone in the house. It’s about someone awake, experienced, and trained to spot the moment before a fall happens. We take the middle-of-the-night shift as seriously as anything else.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and who will fit. We brief every caregiver on their medical history, their preferences, their fears. You get consistency, not a parade of strangers.
A medication adjustment. A new concern. A caregiver calling out sick. When you need us on a Tuesday at 4 p.m., we answer. We’re reachable and we solve problems quickly because we know what’s at stake.
We work regularly with Hartford Hospital and the doctors in this area. We know the neighborhoods of Canton, the traffic on Route 44, the local pharmacies and urgent care. We’re not a chain with a call center two states away.

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
A day caregiver arrives in the morning to help with bathing, dressing, breakfast, and medication. They stay through lunch and the afternoon, keeping your parent company and helping with light tasks. An evening caregiver arrives around dinnertime and stays overnight. The overnight caregiver helps with dinner, evening routines, and is awake and alert all night long to respond if your parent needs to use the bathroom, feels confused, or falls. We handle toileting, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to their care, and constant presence.
We can often start within 48 hours if you call us while your parent is still at Hartford Hospital or in the first day or two after discharge. We work with hospital social workers and discharge planners regularly. If you're calling us on a Friday afternoon, we'll have caregivers ready for Monday morning. In a true emergency, we've started 24-Hour Care the same day. Call us with your timeline and we'll be honest about what's possible.
No. 24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you pay out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans cover limited home health services, not round-the-clock supervision. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We can give you a clear estimate of costs so there are no surprises. We're upfront about price because families deserve to plan without guessing.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day on a schedule set by insurance or Medicare. 24-Hour Care means someone is there every hour, day and night. A home health aide focuses on medical tasks ordered by a doctor. Our caregivers focus on safety, presence, and the small moments that prevent falls and confusion. If your parent needs around-the-clock supervision and safety, 24-Hour Care is the difference between peace of mind and constant worry.
Yes. We take time to understand who your parent is. Do they need someone patient with memory loss, or someone stronger for mobility help, or someone who's good at cooking their favorite meals? We listen to what matters to your family. We've worked in Canton long enough to know that the right match changes everything. We brief our caregivers fully and we're willing to make adjustments if something isn't working.
We have backup caregivers ready. We don't leave families without coverage. If your regular day caregiver is sick, we have someone trained and briefed on your parent's needs ready to step in. You'll hear from us as soon as we know about any change, and we'll give you a name and brief background on who's coming. Your parent's continuity and safety come first.
