24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present. It’s not just checking in. It’s a trained caregiver living in your home, managing the hours when falls happen most, when medications get confusing, when your parent wakes at 3 a.m. disoriented. You get to sleep. Your parent gets safety.
Day to day, you’ll see someone helping with meals, bathing, dressing, toileting, and movement around the home. They’re watching for changes in mood or health. They’re keeping track of medications and appointments. They’re present for the middle-of-the-night bathroom trip, the confusion, the moment your parent needs steadying. Families tell us the relief is immediate.
If your parent is coming home from Sharon Hospital or managing a condition that keeps them unsafe alone, we understand what Kent families are navigating. We’re nurse-founded, which means we don’t just hire caregivers, we train them to recognize when something’s wrong and act on it. That foundation runs through everything we do in 24-Hour Care.
Nurse-founded means we know exactly what safety looks like around the clock. We’re trained to see the early signs of a fall coming, to position your parent safely during sleep, to respond instantly if something happens. This isn’t guesswork for us. It’s what we’ve built the entire service around.
We don’t just send the next available person. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, what makes them comfortable. We brief every caregiver fully on your parent’s health, routines, and preferences before they arrive. The right match means your parent relaxes, and you do too.
24-Hour Care isn’t set and forget. If your parent’s health shifts or a caregiver needs to step back, you reach us and we move. We have caregivers in the Kent area who know the community, know the hospitals, and know how to handle what comes up.
We’re based here, not calling from a regional office. We know Sharon Hospital’s discharge process, the roads around Kent, the neighborhoods where families live. That local knowledge means faster response and real understanding of what post-hospital care looks like in your area.

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
A caregiver is in your home full-time, awake when your parent is awake and resting when they rest. They help with all personal care, meals, medications, mobility, and toileting. They monitor your parent's health, watch for changes, and keep you informed. They're also there for the 2 a.m. bathroom trip, the confusion, the moment your parent needs steadying. You get updates and can call anytime with questions or changes.
We aim to start within 24 to 48 hours of a hospital discharge. We work with the discharge planner at Sharon Hospital to get your parent's medical information, medications, and care plan before your caregiver arrives. If you need faster placement, call us right after discharge and we'll do everything we can to accelerate. Our local team in Kent makes this possible.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and some home health aide services, but not round-the-clock personal care. Long-term care insurance may cover some of it if your parent has a policy. We can walk you through what your parent might qualify for, but we're honest, this is an out-of-pocket investment in safety and peace of mind.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day, usually ordered by a doctor for post-hospital recovery. 24-Hour Care is someone living in your home full-time, present for all the hours when your parent is awake and resting nearby when they sleep. It's the difference between checked-on and protected. If your parent can't be alone at all, 24-Hour Care is what you need.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, their health conditions, their personality, and what matters to them. If they need someone who's experienced with dementia, mobility issues, or specific medical conditions, we match for that. We also listen to preferences, like gender, language, or background. We brief the caregiver fully before day one so they arrive ready.
We have backup coverage. If your caregiver is sick or needs to step back, we have other caregivers in the Kent area trained and ready to step in. You don't lose continuity, and your parent doesn't lose safety. We call you right away and coordinate the transition carefully so your parent stays comfortable.
