24-Hour Care in Killingly, 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 it first at Thanksgiving dinner, the way your mom’s hands trembled reaching for her coffee. Then came the middle-of-the-night call from a neighbor on Westfield Street, saying she’d heard a crash but your mom didn’t answer the door. You realized you couldn’t keep working full days and staying alert all night, and that’s when 24-Hour Care made sense, not as a luxury, but as the only honest answer.

24-Hour Care means someone is there, awake and present, in your parent’s home all night and all day. Not just checking in. Living in the home, managing medications, helping with meals, watching for falls, being the person who’s there at 3 a.m. when things go wrong. It’s the difference between hoping nothing happens and knowing someone will catch it.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, and medications. They notice changes in mood or appetite you might miss. They keep your parent company, help them move safely around the house, and stay alert during the nights when falls happen most. You get to keep your job. You get to sleep. Your parent gets continuity and safety under one roof.
Many Killingly families come to us right after discharge from Day Kimball Hospital, when the medical part is stable but the everyday care feels impossible. We’re nurse-founded, which means we don’t just follow a checklist. We understand what happens when a parent is alone at night, and we build our 24-Hour Care around preventing the crises that matter most.
Falls, confusion, missed medications, and wandering happen in the dark. As a nurse-founded agency, we know what safety looks like around the clock, and we hire and train caregivers who can stay present when you can’t. You’re not gambling on luck anymore.
We don’t send whoever’s available next. We listen to what your parent needs, who they connect with, what makes them feel safe. We do the work of finding the right fit because the wrong caregiver in 24-Hour Care makes everything harder.
When something changes, you reach us. When your parent’s needs shift or your caregiver needs a day off, we’re not unreachable. 24-Hour Care situations move fast, and we move with you.
We’re local to Windham County and familiar with how Day Kimball discharges work. We can step in quickly after hospitalization and bridge the gap between the hospital and home safely. You don’t have to figure out what comes next alone.

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 for all meals, medications, bathing, and personal care. They help your parent move safely, watch for signs of infection or confusion, and keep the house running. At night, they're awake, rested, and ready if your parent needs the bathroom, has a fall, or can't sleep. During the day, they might help with light housekeeping, accompany your parent to appointments, or just sit together. It's not a checklist. It's a person being there, day and night.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your call. The faster you connect with us after discharge, the sooner we can review your parent's needs with the hospital's notes and begin the matching process. If you're facing a tight timeline, call us early. We keep capacity reserved for post-discharge situations because we know hospitals don't wait.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Insurance rarely covers around-the-clock in-home care, even though it costs less than assisted living. Many families find it's worth it because your parent stays home, in their own bed, with their own things around them. We can discuss rates and what's possible for your situation when you call.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your home, or works full shifts covering both day and night. It's a completely different level of oversight and safety, especially for families who can't be there all the time or whose parent needs someone present during the risky hours.
Yes. We listen to what matters to your parent and what matters to you. If your parent does better with a male caregiver, or needs someone with dementia experience, or has to feel comfortable with someone, we take that seriously. Killingly is our home too. We're not assigning you a stranger and hoping it works.
We don't leave you stranded. We have a backup team and work hard to minimize changes, but when your caregiver is sick or needs time off, we step in with someone trained and briefed on your parent's needs. It's not perfect, but it's reliable. You can trust that your parent won't be alone.
