24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present during the night when falls happen most. We’re talking someone there at 3 a.m. if your parent needs to use the bathroom, someone who catches the stumble before it becomes a fracture, someone who can call you or call 911 if something changes. It’s constant, predictable safety.
On any given day, your caregiver helps with morning routines, medications, meals, and all the personal care tasks your parent needs. Nights are quieter, but not invisible, we’re watching for restlessness, confusion, bathroom emergencies, or that sudden call button moment. Our caregivers also notice things your parent might hide from you, the small changes that add up to a bigger conversation with the doctor.
Many East Hampton families come to us right after a Middlesex Hospital discharge, when the hospital social worker says your parent can go home but shouldn’t be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical fragility, post-surgical care, and how to spot when something needs immediate attention. That training matters when you’re the only one awake at midnight.
Our founder spent years managing nighttime care situations, the exact moments when families feel most vulnerable. We know what around-the-clock safety actually requires, not just what it sounds like in theory. That background shapes every shift we staff.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, and what makes them feel safe. A good match at midnight is completely different from a good match at noon, and we account for that.
If your parent’s health changes, or the current caregiver isn’t working out, you don’t wait for business hours. We’re reachable because we know 24-Hour Care situations change fast.
We know the Middlesex Hospital discharge timeline, the doctors here, the neighborhoods of East Hampton. We’re not learning your community, we’re part of it.

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
Mornings include help with bathing, dressing, breakfast, and medications. Afternoons cover lunch, activities, appointments, and light household help like laundry. Evenings are dinner, personal care, and settling in for bed. Nights, our caregiver stays awake and alert, available for bathroom trips, falls, confusion, or any emergency. We document everything so you and your parent's doctor have a clear picture of what's happening.
We typically need 2 to 3 days for a full briefing and caregiver match. If discharge is coming, let us know early. We've worked with Middlesex Hospital's discharge team before and understand the urgency. In emergencies, we can place someone faster, but the careful match takes a little time because it matters.
Medicare and most insurances don't cover 24-Hour Care. This is private pay, which means you and your family cover the cost directly. We're transparent about pricing and can discuss payment options. Some families use long-term care insurance or set aside savings for exactly this reason.
A home health aide comes for a few hours a week or a few hours a day, ordered by your doctor. A 24-Hour Care caregiver lives in your home and is awake and responsible all the time. The difference is constant presence and around-the-clock safety. 24-Hour Care is what you need when your parent can't be alone anymore.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, medical history, what makes them feel safe, and what matters to your family. We don't just look at availability. We listen for the caregiver who will work in your East Hampton home and show up the same way every single day.
We have a backup plan and backup caregivers we've already vetted. We don't leave you scrambling. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs time off, we notify you early and send someone you've met. Continuity matters, especially at night.
