24-Hour Care in Middlebury, 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 during the holiday visit at your mom’s house on President Avenue, a shift you’d been too close to see. The falls were happening at night now, and she wasn’t telling you. One call to Waterbury Hospital’s discharge coordinator led you here, because round-the-clock care isn’t optional anymore, and you can’t be the one awake at 2 a.m. waiting for what might happen.

24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent around the clock. Not just during the day when you can watch from the other room, but at night when falls happen quietly, when confusion sets in, when medication timing matters. It’s eyes and hands available every hour, every shift, every season.
Day-to-day, families see their parent getting help with meals, bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. You see someone managing medications on schedule, spotting changes in mood or appetite that might signal something’s wrong. You see your parent staying safe during transfers, sleeping better because someone’s there, no longer sitting alone wondering when you’ll call.
Here in Middlebury and across New Haven County, we work closely with Waterbury Hospital’s discharge planning team. When your parent comes home after a hospital stay, we’re part of that transition, not separate from it. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand the medical side of aging, not just the personal side. That training shows up in the details, every single day.
Our founder was a nurse. She’s seen what happens at 3 a.m. when no one’s awake. We staff 24-Hour Care with people trained to prevent falls, recognize when your parent needs medical attention, and stay calm when something changes. That’s not something every agency can say.
We don’t just send a warm body. We listen to what your parent needs, what your family needs, what keeps everyone safe. Your caregiver knows the medication schedule, the mobility issues, the things that worry you. We do thorough briefings because mismatches cause stress.
A new symptom shows up. Your parent needs a different kind of support. We answer your calls and adjust, not next month, but this week. You’re not managing 24-Hour Care alone.
We’re local to New Haven County. We know how Waterbury Hospital handles discharge. We know the neighborhoods here, the streets, the doctors families trust. That familiarity matters when you need someone fast.

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 activities of daily living: bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, medication management, and mobility support. They monitor for changes in your parent's condition and report to you and to doctors. They handle light housekeeping related to your parent's care. They stay alert during the night, which is when most falls and emergencies happen. This isn't check-in care, it's constant presence.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, sometimes the same day if we have advance notice. We work with the hospital's discharge team before your parent leaves, so we understand the care plan and any special instructions. If your parent comes home on a Friday, we coordinate to have someone there. Speed matters when your parent is recovering and vulnerable.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and home health aide visits, which are time-limited and task-focused. 24-Hour Care is different, it's continuous presence and safety. We can discuss your parent's specific situation and whether blending insurance-covered services with private pay makes sense. Some families use both.
A home health aide, often covered by Medicare, comes for a few hours a day on a medical schedule. 24-Hour Care means someone is there all day and all night, every day. The caregiver knows your parent's routines, rhythms, and personality over time. They catch small changes before they become crises. They're part of the household, not a visitor.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they need help with, what they're afraid of, and what your family's rhythm looks like. We listen to what matters to you. We then match based on experience, temperament, and fit, not just availability. If the match isn't right, we adjust.
We have backup. We don't leave families without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have trained people ready to step in. Your parent stays safe. We communicate with you immediately about any change, and we make sure the backup caregiver is briefed on everything they need to know.
