24-Hour Care in Farmington, 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 holiday dinner at the house on Mountain Spring Road. She’d noticed your mom getting up three times that night, disoriented, nearly tripping in the hallway. The next morning you realized you couldn’t keep working full-time and also keep her safe. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes less of an option and more of a reality.

24-Hour Care means one trained caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake when your parent is awake and present through the night. They’re there for the 2 a.m. bathroom trip, the confusion at dawn, the medication that needs to happen at 6 p.m. sharp. It’s not a medical service, but it’s constant, hands-on presence.
Day to day, you’ll see your parent getting help with dressing, eating, bathing, and movement around the house. Your caregiver manages the rhythm of medications, tracks what your parent ate and when they slept, and catches the small changes early. They’re watching for falls, for confusion getting worse, for signs something needs a doctor’s attention. The caregiver is also someone your parent gets to know and trust, which matters more than you’d think.
Here in Farmington, we work closely with families coming home from Hartford Hospital and other local care settings. Many of our clients need 24-Hour Care after a fall, a stroke, or surgery when going back to independent living isn’t realistic yet. We’re nurse-founded, which means our whole operation is built around safety and knowing what actually happens in a home at 3 a.m., not just in theory.
Our founder worked night shifts and overnight care for years. She knows nighttime falls happen in seconds, that a parent can seem fine at dinner and confused by midnight, and that families need someone who won’t panic. That experience shapes every match we make.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We listen to what your parent needs, what your family’s rhythm is, and we match a caregiver who fits. Then we brief them thoroughly on your parent’s specific routines, medications, quirks, and what to watch for.
If your parent’s health shifts, if you need to adjust the care plan, or if a caregiver is sick, you reach a real person who knows your situation. We don’t disappear into a voicemail system. You get us.
We understand Farmington and the surrounding towns, we know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, and we’re familiar with the doctors and resources your parent is already connected to. We’re not remote. We’re here.

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 helps your parent with bathing, dressing, meals, and movement throughout the day and night. They give medications on schedule, help with toileting and incontinence care, and keep watch for anything that looks different or concerning. They also do light housekeeping related to your parent's needs, keep the home safe, and stay alert through the night. You'll receive regular updates on how your parent ate, slept, and any changes in their behavior or health.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of you reaching out, depending on availability and your parent's specific needs. If you know a discharge date is coming, call us early so we can do the intake and matching before your parent comes home. For urgent situations, we move faster. We work with hospitals and discharge planners regularly and understand the time pressure.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you pay directly. Medicare and most insurance plans cover part-time home health aides for medical reasons, but not round-the-clock, non-medical care. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or work with us on a weekly rate. We're honest about cost from the start so there are no surprises.
A home health aide visits for a few hours a few times a week, usually through insurance or Medicare, and focuses on medical or post-recovery needs. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your home all day and all night, every day. It's for families who need constant presence and supervision, not periodic visits. The two are very different in scope and what they can provide.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their routines, any past experiences with caregivers, and what matters most to your family. We listen for language preferences, cultural fit, energy level, and any other details that make a match work. We then work from our network of vetted, experienced caregivers and make a thoughtful placement. We don't just fill an opening.
We have backup caregivers ready and familiar with your parent and your home setup. We call you as soon as we know there's an issue and we work to place someone continuity-minded quickly. You don't get left without coverage. If a caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we handle it and keep your parent safe.
