Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting at your parents’ kitchen table on Salmon Brook Street. Your dad was there but not really there, confused about the time. Your mom hasn’t slept properly in weeks because she’s listening for falls at 3 a.m. You knew then that one of you couldn’t keep living like this.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home all day and all night, awake and present. They’re there for the falls that happen between midnight and sunrise, the bathroom visits, the confusion that comes at odd hours, the medication that needs to be taken at the right time. It’s not a hospital stay. It’s your parent staying home, with someone who’s trained to notice when something’s wrong.
A typical day looks like this: breakfast prep and assistance, morning hygiene, medication management, lunch, afternoon activities or outings if your parent is able, dinner, evening routine, and overnight monitoring. Your caregiver documents everything, stays alert for changes, and keeps you informed without drama. They know the difference between a normal night and a night when your parent needs you to know what happened.
After a Hartford Hospital discharge, families in Granby often come to us because they know their parent isn’t ready to be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand post-hospital vulnerability, infection risk, and the specific care instructions that doctors send home. We work with Hartford Hospital’s discharge planners, we know the local healthcare system, and we can start within days of that discharge paperwork.
We know what safe 24-hour care actually looks like because we’ve managed it. A fall at 2 a.m. isn’t a surprise to us, it’s something we’ve trained around. We understand the specific vulnerabilities of parents living at home, and we build our matching and training around preventing nighttime falls and keeping medication on schedule when nobody else is awake.
We don’t assign a caregiver by availability alone. We listen to your parent’s temperament, their sleep schedule, their specific needs, and we match someone who can be genuinely present at 3 a.m. when your parent is confused or scared. A good 24-hour match makes the difference between your parent feeling safe and your family finally being able to breathe.
Your parent’s condition can shift fast. We’re available to adjust coverage, answer questions, and troubleshoot real problems without making you feel like you’re asking too much. If your caregiver needs to be switched out or your parent needs a different level of support, you reach us and we move.
We’re not a national franchise. We know Granby, East Granby, Simsbury, and the rest of Hartford County. We know Hartford Hospital’s process, we know local doctors, and we work with the healthcare system your parent is already using.

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 all personal care: bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility assistance. They prepare meals and monitor intake. They give medications exactly on time and keep a log. They're awake through the night, monitoring for falls, confusion, or any sign something's wrong. They help with light housekeeping related to your parent's immediate comfort. They're a presence, not background noise. During the day they may help with appointments or short outings. At night they're alert and present.
If you call us within 48 hours of discharge, we can often have care started within three to five days. We work directly with Hartford Hospital's discharge team to understand any special instructions. We'll ask for your parent's current medication list, any mobility restrictions, and what your parent's sleep schedule looks like. The faster we hear from you, the faster we can match and brief your caregiver on specifics.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time live-in caregiving. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and some use Veterans benefits if applicable. We work with you to discuss cost upfront and explore what options might exist in your situation. There's no surprise billing from us.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few days a week, often ordered by a doctor after hospitalization. They handle personal care during those hours. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your parent's home full time, overnight included. They're there for the midnight bathroom trip, the 4 a.m. confusion, the fall that might happen when nobody's watching. It's constant presence and safety.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's temperament, sleep habits, mobility level, any behavioral changes, and what kind of personality works best in your home. A caregiver who's great with a quiet parent might not be right for someone more social. We listen and we match thoughtfully. If the match isn't working after a few days, we adjust it.
We have backup coverage ready. We don't leave your parent uncovered. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we deploy a trained replacement, usually within a few hours. We brief the backup caregiver on your parent's routines and needs so there's continuity. Your parent's safety doesn't pause.
