24-Hour Care means having a trained caregiver in your parent’s home overnight and throughout the day, awake and present. Unlike part-time home health aides, this is continuous coverage. Your parent isn’t alone at 2 a.m. if they wake confused, need help to the bathroom, or fall. You’re not getting that middle-of-the-night phone call anymore.
Day to day, families see their parent getting helped with dressing, meals, medications, and personal care. The caregiver watches for changes, keeps the house safe, and handles the small emergencies before they become big ones. They’re there during the quiet hours when falls happen most often and when your parent is most vulnerable.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what around-the-clock safety actually requires. After discharge from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or any hospital stay, we’ve worked with families across Litchfield County who need someone immediately, someone who knows what to watch for. We don’t just place a caregiver. We match carefully and brief thoroughly.
Our founder is a nurse. That changes everything about how we think about 24-Hour Care. We know what happens at 3 a.m. when someone gets up confused, what warning signs matter, and how fast a situation can turn. Your parent isn’t just supervised. They’re watched by someone trained to recognize the difference between normal and something that needs immediate attention.
You tell us about your parent’s personality, habits, any sensitivities or preferences. We don’t send the first available caregiver. We listen to what you need, and we find someone who fits. That person gets a thorough briefing before day one, so they arrive knowing your parent’s routine, your house, what matters most to your family.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication changes, a behavior pattern emerges, or you notice something new. You call us, and we listen. We adjust coverage, swap caregivers if it’s not working, or add extra support. You’re not managing this alone. We’re on the other end of the phone.
We work with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s discharge team. We know the neighborhoods, the traffic patterns, the hospitals your parent uses. We’re local. When you need 24-Hour Care started fast after a hospital stay, we already understand the landscape. That matters when your family is tired and needs someone who just gets it.

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 parent gets help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. The caregiver prepares meals, manages medications, and handles light housekeeping. They monitor for changes in mood, appetite, or physical signs. At night, they stay awake and alert, watching for falls, confusion, or any need. They're there, present, and trained to recognize what's normal and what isn't for your parent.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours, depending on your parent's specific needs and caregiver availability. We work directly with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital's care coordinators to get details before discharge, so we're ready. If your situation is urgent, call us before your parent leaves the hospital. The sooner we talk, the faster we can move.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover continuous in-home caregiving. We're honest about that upfront. Some families use long-term care insurance, personal funds, or a combination of both. We can talk with you about costs and what different coverage levels look like for your parent's situation.
Home health aides typically come a few hours a day, a few days a week, and are usually ordered by a doctor for post-recovery care. 24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your home overnight and throughout the day, every day. The coverage is continuous, the focus is on safety and monitoring, not rehabilitation. It's for parents who can't be left alone.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, daily routines, any medical or behavioral needs, and what matters most to your family. We then match with a caregiver who has experience and temperament that fit. We've found that the right personality match is just as important as the right skill set. Your parent and their caregiver will be together 24/7.
We have backup coverage built in. If your caregiver is sick or an emergency comes up, we find an immediate replacement so there's no gap in care. You'll know ahead of time if a substitute is coming, and we brief them on your parent's specific needs. Your parent's safety and your peace of mind don't pause.
