24-Hour Care in Hartland, 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 noticed something when she visited for the holidays, sitting at the kitchen table on Maple Avenue, and you couldn’t stop thinking about it: your mom getting up three times in the night, confused about which door was the bathroom. You can’t stay there. You can’t move in. But you also can’t stop worrying about a fall at 2 AM when no one’s awake. That’s when 24-Hour Care starts to make sense.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the night and the early mornings when most falls happen and confusion is worst. It’s not a nurse checking in twice a day. It’s continuous presence, someone there when your parent wakes at 3 AM disoriented, someone monitoring medications at the right times, someone helping with bathroom visits when balance is shakiest.
On any given day, you’ll see: medication reminders taken at the right time, meals prepared and eaten warm, personal care and hygiene support, companionship during the long afternoons, and someone alert and awake during the hours when your parent is most at risk. Your caregiver is watching for changes, keeping your parent safe, and letting you actually sleep because you’re not the one listening for a call button.
If your parent just came home from Hartford Hospital or is managing a condition that keeps you up at night, we understand that relief starts with trust. We’re nurse-founded, which means the structure of our 24-Hour Care comes from someone who’s managed hospital discharge herself and knows what really happens when families are terrified their parent will fall at night.
Our founder is a nurse who managed her own parent’s around-the-clock safety and knows the 3 AM panic of wondering if your parent got up safely. That experience shapes how we staff 24-Hour Care, how we brief your caregiver, and how we think about nighttime fall prevention.
We don’t assign the first available person. We listen to what your parent needs, who they’re comfortable with, what their morning routine looks like, and whether they need someone calm and quiet or someone who can talk. We brief every caregiver thoroughly so they’re not walking in blind on day one.
Your parent’s needs change. A medication is adjusted. Their doctor wants to see them and you need backup. You call us and we pick up because 24-Hour Care doesn’t run on business hours. We’re reachable when you need answers.
We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, we know Hartland streets and neighborhoods, and we’ve worked with families across this area long enough to move quickly. When your parent comes home needing 24-Hour Care, we don’t start from scratch.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver is present for medication reminders at scheduled times, prepares and monitors meals, provides bathing and dressing assistance, toileting and incontinence support, and remains awake and alert during the night to respond immediately to any need or emergency. They're watching for falls, changes in behavior or health, and they're documenting what you need to know. During the day they may accompany your parent to appointments, support light activity, and provide the companionship that comes with someone being there.
If you call us before or right at discharge, we can often have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours. We stay in touch with Hartford Hospital's discharge planning team and we move fast because we know families are anxious during that transition home. The exact timeline depends on your parent's needs and caregiver availability, but we prioritize speed when someone just left the hospital.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you arrange payment directly with us rather than billing insurance. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover round-the-clock care at home because it's seen as custodial rather than medical. We're honest about cost from the start so there are no surprises, and we can discuss payment options with you.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a few times a week, often focused on helping with specific tasks like bathing or dressing. 24-Hour Care means someone is there overnight and all day, awake during the night, able to respond instantly to falls or confusion or medical changes. It's the difference between having help with a task and having continuous safety presence.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, medical needs, and preferences before we ever introduce a caregiver. We want to know if your parent is a talker or quieter, an early riser or sleepy, whether they have dietary preferences, what medications they take, and what scares you most about their safety. We then match someone with experience and temperament that fits.
We have a network of trained backup caregivers we can call. We notify you as soon as we know there's a change, and we bring the backup caregiver in with plenty of time to review your parent's routine and needs. We don't leave you without coverage. If there's ever a gap, you'll know about it immediately and we'll be on the phone problem-solving.
