24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present while your parent sleeps. They’re there for the bathroom trip at 2 a.m., the fall risk on the stairs, the medication that needs to be taken at an odd hour, the confusion that comes when it’s dark outside. This is different from part-time care because your parent is never alone, and someone trained is always alert.
Day-to-day, you’ll see your parent getting bathed and dressed, meals prepared and eaten at regular times, medications managed on schedule, and the house kept safe and clean. But the real difference shows up at night and in the early morning, when falls happen most often and when your parent might wake disoriented. Your caregiver is there, calm and ready, whether it’s 11 p.m. or 5 a.m.
If your parent is discharged from William W. Backus Hospital or recovering at home in Lisbon, our nurse-founded approach means we understand hospital discharge instructions and how to keep that momentum going in your own house. We were nurses before we started this, so we know what safety actually looks like when someone can’t be left alone, and we know how to talk to doctors and care teams.
We know what nighttime falls look like and why they happen. We understand the panic of a parent who wakes up confused, and we know how to keep them safe without treating them like they’re fragile. That nursing background means every caregiver we send understands the real risks.
Before anyone arrives at your home, we talk with you about what matters. Does your parent do better with a quiet morning, or do they need activity? Are they a light sleeper, or do they need the caregiver to stay in another room? We match based on personality and need, not just availability.
Your parent gets sick, or a medication changes, or they have a bad night. You call us, and we listen and adjust. We don’t disappear on weekends, and we don’t make you feel like a burden for needing to talk.
We work with Lisbon families after hospital discharge because we’re local and we understand the discharge process. When your parent comes home from William W. Backus, we already know the hospital’s instructions and how to keep the care plan on track.

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 helps with bathing, dressing, and grooming first thing in the morning. Throughout the day, they prepare meals, manage medications, help with light housekeeping, and keep your parent engaged or rested depending on what they need. At night, the caregiver stays awake and alert in your home, ready to help your parent to the bathroom, respond to falls, or handle any confusion or anxiety. They document what happened each day so you and any doctors know what's going on.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a hospital discharge if you reach out as soon as your parent is ready to come home. The sooner you call, the more time we have to listen to the discharge plan and match the right caregiver. If your parent is still in the hospital, we recommend calling early so we can coordinate with the discharge team and make sure everything is ready when your parent walks through the door.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care, even though that's when many families need it most. We're transparent about our rates upfront, and we can talk with you about what your budget looks like and how to make this work for your family.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually when ordered by a doctor after hospitalization, and is often covered by Medicare or insurance. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your home all day and all night, awake and present, even on nights when nothing happens. You're paying for safety and peace of mind, not just help with tasks. It's the difference between someone visiting and someone being there.
Yes, that's how we work. We ask detailed questions about your parent, their habits, their personality, what they're afraid of, and what helps them feel calm. We match based on those specifics, not just on who's available. If it doesn't feel right in the first week, we listen and we make a change. A good match matters more than anything else in 24-Hour Care.
We have backup caregivers who know your parent and your home already, so there's continuity and your parent isn't meeting someone new in the middle of a difficult situation. We let you know as early as possible if there's a change, and we've already briefed the backup caregiver on what they need to know. You won't be left scrambling because someone didn't show up.
