24-Hour Care means someone is in your home all day and all night, awake and present. We’re talking about a trained caregiver who handles the personal care your parent needs, watches for falls before they happen, manages medications on schedule, prepares meals, and stays alert when you can’t be there. You get the safety and the peace of mind you’ve been running on fumes to find.
On any given day, that looks like your parent getting dressed, eating meals that are actually hot, having someone to talk to, getting help with bathing and toileting, and knowing that if they get up at 2 a.m., someone is there. It means no more worrying about whether they took their pills, no more middle-of-the-night phone calls that stop your heart, no more pretending everything is fine when it isn’t.
If your parent just came home from Middlesex Hospital or is facing a period where they need round-the-clock eyes on them, we know this path. We were founded by nurses who’ve stood where you’re standing. That means our caregivers understand what safety actually looks like when you’re 24 hours in, and they know how to spot small changes that matter.
We started this work because we’ve been the nurse at 3 a.m. when your parent is restless or confused. Our caregivers understand nighttime falls, medication timing, and the quiet moments when something feels off. You’re not hiring a general service. You’re getting people who think like nurses about what your parent actually needs.
We don’t send whoever is available. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what would actually work in your home. Then we brief that caregiver like you’re briefing a nurse. That means consistency, understanding, and someone who knows your parent’s habits, preferences, and the things that matter.
24-Hour Care isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. You call us when something changes, when you need to adjust, when you need backup. We’re local, we answer, and we problem-solve with you because we know that life with aging parents is never perfectly predictable.
We work with Middlesex Hospital and other local providers. We understand the discharge process, we can start quickly after your parent comes home, and we speak the language of post-hospital care. Being local means we know the community and the care landscape your family is navigating.

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 around the clock. They help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. They prepare meals, manage medications on schedule, do light housekeeping related to your parent's care, and watch for falls or changes in condition. They're awake at night and respond if your parent needs help. There's someone there. That's the core of it.
We can usually start within a few days of you reaching out. We work with hospital discharge planners and understand the timeline. If you call us before your parent comes home, we can be ready on day one. We know that the days right after discharge are when families need support most, and we move fast to make that happen.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover skilled nursing or home health aide services for limited hours, typically after a hospital stay and for specific medical needs. 24-Hour Care goes beyond that, so most families pay out-of-pocket. We're honest about cost because you deserve to know what you're looking at and plan accordingly.
Home health aides come for scheduled hours, usually a few hours a day, and typically only after a hospital stay or on a doctor's order. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your home, working all day and all night. It's continuous presence and oversight. If your parent needs someone there at midnight, or at 6 a.m., or all day while you're at work, 24-Hour Care is the answer.
Yes. We talk to you about who your parent is, what they need, what makes them comfortable, and what matters most. We don't just pull a name from a list. We match based on personality, experience, and fit. We've worked in Middlefield long enough to know our caregivers and know how to put the right person in your home.
We have backup coverage and we communicate with you. We don't leave you hanging. If your caregiver is sick or can't come, we fill that shift with someone trained and briefed on your parent's needs. It's not ideal, but it's handled, and you know it's handled because we tell you directly.
