24-Hour Care in Greenwich, 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 Thanksgiving dinner to say she’d found your mom confused at the kitchen table, unsure what time it was. It wasn’t the first time, and you both knew that leaving her alone through the night wasn’t safe anymore. A fall at 2 a.m., a medication missed, a moment of disorientation, the what-ifs that keep you awake driving home down the Merritt Parkway. That’s when 24-Hour Care stops being an abstract idea and becomes the thing you need.

24-Hour Care means someone trained is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the nights when falls happen most, when confusion peaks, when you can’t be there. It’s one caregiver who knows your parent’s routines, medications, and the small signs that something’s wrong before it becomes an emergency.
Day to day, you’ll see medication management on schedule, help with meals and bathing, assistance getting to and from bed safely, and someone monitoring for the things families worry about: bathroom falls, wandering, medication confusion, or sudden changes in behavior. Your parent stays home, in familiar surroundings, with continuity of care instead of rotating staff or institutional schedules.
If your parent is coming home from Greenwich Hospital or facing a diagnosis that means they need eyes on them at night, our nurse-founded approach means we understand the medical side, the discharge paperwork, and the real vulnerabilities of early recovery. We’re wired differently than staffing agencies because we started here, knowing what Fairfield County families actually need when safety becomes non-negotiable.
We started this because we’ve lived the 3 a.m. phone call, the fall that happened because no one was there, the guilt of not knowing your parent was struggling. That’s why 24-Hour Care is staffed by caregivers trained to spot what matters and act before crisis.
You get a briefing call before your caregiver’s first shift, not a stranger showing up at your door. We listen for what your parent needs, what you need, and who fits both. Experience with 24-Hour Care in homes like yours matters more than availability.
Your parent’s needs won’t be the same in week one as they are in month four. We check in regularly, adjust coverage, and answer your calls instead of routing you to a voicemail tree.
We understand the discharge process, the follow-up appointments, and the neighborhoods where our families live, from Cos Cob to the Backcountry. Local knowledge means fewer surprises and faster solutions.

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 is present overnight and through the day, helping with bathing, dressing, meals, and toileting, managing medications on schedule, and staying alert for falls, confusion, or medical changes. They're not asleep; they're monitoring. During the day, they may help with light housekeeping, laundry, or meal prep. Everything centers on keeping your parent safe and comfortable at home.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours, sometimes faster if you're already planning ahead. The earlier you call, the more time we have to match the right person and do a proper handoff from hospital staff. If your parent is still admitted, we coordinate directly with the discharge planner.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover live-in or overnight care for non-skilled supervision. We're transparent about cost upfront so you can plan. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources; others combine 24-Hour Care with part-time skilled nursing visits covered by Medicare.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually after a doctor's order, and is covered by insurance if skilled care is involved. 24-Hour Care is continuous presence, overnight, for safety and supervision when your parent can't be left alone. It's the difference between someone checking in and someone staying.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, any behavioral changes, their daily routines, and what matters most to you. We have caregivers experienced with dementia, fall risk, medication management, and post-stroke recovery. We don't place someone until we believe it's a real fit.
We have backup coverage. We don't leave your family without someone. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we arrange a backup who has already been briefed on your parent's needs and home. Continuity matters; we don't ignore it.
