24-Hour Care in Chaplin, 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 called after the Thanksgiving dinner at the Chaplin Community Center and mentioned she’d found your mother confused about the time at 2 a.m., standing in the kitchen in her nightgown. You realized then that the daytime caregiver wasn’t enough, and that you couldn’t keep driving down from Mansfield every other night to make sure she was safe. Around-the-clock care isn’t something you plan for, but it’s what you need when nighttime falls and medication timing slip, or when a parent won’t stay in bed.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present during the night hours when falls happen most, when confusion peaks, and when you can’t be there. It’s one person or a team rotation, depending on what works for your family, providing the supervision and help that prevents a middle-of-the-night emergency.
You’ll see your parent getting help with bedtime routines, medication reminders before sleep, bathroom assistance during the night, and someone alert and nearby if they get up confused or try to leave the house. The caregiver handles what your parent needs at 3 a.m. the same way they’d handle it at 3 p.m., without you having to choose between sleep and safety.
If your parent has just come home from Windham Hospital or has been struggling with nighttime safety in Chaplin, 24-Hour Care bridges the gap between independence and round-the-clock medical oversight. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what actually keeps a person safe overnight, not just what looks good on paper, and we build that into how we staff and train.
We started from experience, not theory. A nurse knows what happens at 2 a.m., what a fall looks like, what medication confusion costs. That’s why we staff differently and train differently for 24-Hour Care than other agencies do.
We don’t just send whoever’s available. We learn your parent, their routines, what makes them nervous at night, whether they need quiet presence or active help. That match matters more at night than it does during the day.
A parent’s needs shift. Their medication changes. A fall happens. When you call us about adjusting 24-Hour Care, you reach someone who knows your family’s situation and can act fast, not a call center.
We work with Windham Hospital and know the questions you’ll have when your parent comes home. We can start quickly, coordinate with your hospital team, and keep everyone informed about how the first nights are going.

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 is present and awake from evening through morning, helping with dinner, bedtime routines, medications, and nighttime bathroom needs. If your parent gets up confused or restless, the caregiver is there, not asleep in another room. They also do light meal prep in the morning, help with morning hygiene, and stay alert for changes in how your parent looks or acts. This isn't hospital-level nursing, but it's trained, experienced oversight when you can't be there.
We can often start the same day or the next morning if you call us before discharge. We talk to your parent's hospital team, get the discharge paperwork, and make sure our caregiver knows about new medications, restrictions, or concerns. If you're coming home from Windham Hospital in Chaplin, we treat the first 72 hours as the riskiest, and we staff carefully during that window.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and limited home health aide hours, but not round-the-clock non-medical supervision, which is what most families actually need for safety. We work with some families' long-term care insurance and can give you the documentation to submit. The cost varies based on your parent's needs and whether you want one caregiver or a rotating team.
A home health aide visits for a few hours, usually during the day, and helps with specific tasks. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent's home all night, every night, awake and attentive. The aide leaves at 5 p.m.; our caregiver is there at 2 a.m. when your parent wakes up disoriented. If nighttime safety is your biggest worry, 24-Hour Care is the service that addresses it.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, what makes them comfortable, whether they prefer a quieter presence or someone more interactive, and what their nighttime routine looks like. We also listen to what matters to you, your brother in Mansfield, and anyone else involved. We aim to send someone who clicks with your parent, not just someone available that night.
We have backup coverage in Chaplin and surrounding Windham County towns so your parent isn't left alone. We call you as soon as we know there's a change, introduce the substitute caregiver, and make sure they understand your parent's specific routines and concerns. Consistency matters at night, so we try to minimize surprises, but your parent's safety comes first.
